I get the same pay rate with other VGCs without the hassles. 1% makes all the difference. $500/day is not worth it for me.

uggh, I missed this thread about now being 1%, oh well, still better than nothing.

$.95 fee after cash back + liquidation fee.

Just tried to purchase 2 One Vanilla's at CVS and when cashier scanned second one, it said "quantity met - 8". I haven't bought any other gift cards today so I'm not violating the $2k/day rule. Here are my last few purchases.

2 - 10/30
2 - 11/7
2 - 11/12
2 - 11/14 (this was with passport, not DL)
1 - 11/20 (wouldn't let me buy the 2nd one)

So today would have been 8 on my DL in the last month, but it wouldn't let me buy the 8th one so now I'm at 7 for the month.

Anyone know of a weekly or monthly limit? Even the store manager couldn't tell me.

I noticed only the first of the 2 1K transactions in CVS gets reported to DOSH. Is there a $10 daily limit on the 1% back from CVS on DOSH? Thanks.

Yes, there is a $10 daily limit. It doesn't say, but I believe it's actually a rolling 24 hours.

It is not worth the 1% since you are negative after paying the fee.

still better than 0% back especially if one has a 5% card on Pharmacies. It truly becomes closer to a 5% instead or 4%

True. On the other hand, I can just get a bunch of Meta VGC at grocery stores with the Gold card at 4x MR. That is better and Metas are easier to unload.

yes $10 max cash back per day

RedSun Dec 4, 2018 4:17 pm

DOSH 1% is over. Others see the same?

Just bought $500 vgc and $100 amzn gc using Freedom. These count towards the 5% presumably?

Klemhuzzah Jan 8, 2019 5:13 pm

Yes, they do count.
