Last laptop deal, I placed 4 orders and only 1 cancelled. Different credit cards via PayPal for all and different buying group addresses. I also placed some from my phone and one via VPN. No Dell rewards. It isn’t worth the headache if they’re going to get damaged and then I’m stuck with them.

Have you guys found a solution to get Best buy, Dell, Walmart, Target, and other orders through? I never was able to get even one order through besides Amazon. They all just get canceled instantly or within a few minutes.

For Best Buy, try use their app and pay with Apple Pay.
Dell used to work fine for me, but not anymore. Really frustrating.

Try with your Android using the Wallet feature.....just TRY! If it gets canceled then you know.

Still no luck with BB, I use the app but with a regular cc. Will try wallet feature. WM has been ok using a new throwaway email, guest check out, and a new card (works for a couple buys).
As far as companies. EMBD is my top choice for now with the speed of check in, pay outs, and offers/buys. BFMR obviously has the most convenient submit/payout but the offers/payouts are worse. Buygetrewards is a smaller operation but I also have had good turnaround / response with them. Reliable check in and payouts.

Same here. BB orders all got canceled no matter how I placed the orders (PC, cell phone, different cards, different shipping addresses...).

WM has been good. BB is hit/miss, depends on the product sold. If it’s really in demand it gets cancelled even if I try shipping it to my home address. Dell I have no clue on how to make work, used to be very easy and then seemingly overnight became the hardest. Any tips would be much appreciated.

If I try using my account and shipping to my home address it gets cancelled, however if I check out as guest, shipping to my home does work, so they def flag accounts. Unable to use any buying group address as a ship to, tried google pay, PayPal, nothing works.

There's been some chatter in groups about the most recent wave of Amazon delivery (not UPS or USPS) changing their tracking to include airport codes, EWR for instance. A lot of these are coming up as damaged, undeliverable, or running late. Hopefully it's a transitory issue and only seems to be affecting BFMR address.

Yeah I have 5 items that were shipped to BFMR that have airport codes within the tracking number. All 5 are "lost" but I'm hoping they show up within a day or two because I don't want to ask Amazon for a refund on all those items.

Anyone else dealing/dealt with this issue?

BFMR has been great but for nearly the last month all of the amazon shipped (not UPS, etc) packages have failed to indicate delivery on Amazon's side. They just get stuck in "On the way, but it's running late" state. Still, about 90% of those do seem to actually get delivered at the expected time to BFMR. That has still resulted in asking Amazon for more refunds than I really felt comfortable with though. Not sure what happened it was like clockwork months ago.

Yeah I had the same issue. I think they're using a carrier called "AT" or something according to the rep I spoke with. The tracking numbers that have airport codes in them are the ones causing all the issues.

Definitely a uncomfortable conversation with Amazon when you're missing high value items

Is there any risk getting the Amex Amazon Business card and using that to get 5% back?

No more risk than using any other CC to buy products. Unfortunately it’s now capped at $120k. Easy to max that out.
