Do the five % back cards give you $10 once they are run down to zero?

They supposed to from specific retailers only, but it takes 48hr after transaction to see 5% cash back. Transactions often post next day so it might even takes 1 day longer to see $10 credit

To get the 5% at cvs, does it matter whether its debit or credit?

CS says it does not matter and to call back if I do not receive 5%

I tried debt with pin and transaction did not go through. I had to press credit button on screen and it worked.

I would caution that the vast majority of CVS will not accept these as payment for other gift cards...

For some odd reason HI sucks for MS. Targets: no $400s, CVS/Long's: no $500s. Safeway: Dead. WM: no $500s

And the simon mall has terrible hours.

Just got my $600 worth of VGC at OD and a great story to share!
At the display there were a few VGC available, but all were tempered, meaning tag was pulled off. Didn't wanna even try to buy, very high chance of fraud...asked CSR if any more left, but he had none...but...he told me there's a guy coming every day this week and hides VGC in the drawers of the furniture for sale. We looked all over the store and found a bunch! Hahaha! Just wanna see the guys face tomorrow when he opens the drawer of the computer desk where he had his stack hidden...

Never said anything about actually living in the midwest. Just time some trips up well and.. you know experience the midwest, theres football, and ya know, football...

Lucky for me I minted some AU cards for my folks who rarely leave that good good corn country , god bless their souls. I hear the mixed corn is the best this year.
