How do you jig your addresses? I haven't been able to get best buy or Walmart through in over a year

Best Buy is a no-go. Nothing works for me for drop shipping.

For WM it seems they cancel orders based on a number of factors. I'm 50/50 on cancellations with them. I could be wrong, but I think they cancel orders if others have sent the same item to the same address too frequently, because I've had success when new items are listed and less success on older items. But that is purely speculation.

To jig addresses, you can always add 4 nonsense letters before the numerical street address. And misspellings that show your obvious intent will often work.

Example:
123 Fairview St., Building 5
New Haven, CT 06501

Becomes:
DTGM 123 Fairvew St BLDG Five
Nevv Haven, CT 06501

Link doesnt work. Can you resend?

Anyone facing the issue with Amazon that shipment was cancelled due to OTP but now it is saying it is On the way back but Amazon is giving run around for Freight Forwarded excuses and now wont refund till 30 days or so. Ever after that an ticket will need to be file? Anyone has same scenario?

Thanks for the tips. I'll dip my toe back into Walmart.

Good suggestion since TDB advises not to change their address.

I was responding to someone who was asking how to jig addresses for Maxoutdeals.

Anyone know why there's no bfmr deals lately? Do the shipping address work for any merchant aside from Amazon?

What do you do when the buying groups claims to have not received the item but the retailer's tracking is showing as delivered? The specifc case here is UBG and Amazon. I've had them pull this before on me a couple of months ago and they've just done it again now for an iPad at $250. Do I have any recourse with Amazon?

Secondary question. Is there a credit card that protects the buyer in these cars?

Most all protection benefits have clauses that exclude items purchased for resale, so that depends on the details and how honest one would be.

Other than a charge back, there’s not much you can do. Theft is becoming a huge problem. Some accounts do get shut down with chargebacks.

Even BFMR did not pay lost packages, but the ratio of missing/lost packages is very low. Thedealbuyer promised to provide refund for packages which were lost but signed by them. The payment may take up to 10 days or longer sometimes. They also asked many proofs for missing packages. The ratio of missing parts is higher than BFMR. Only sent coins and several laptops to pointsmaker and it works well.

I'm new to this type of MS, though I've done credit card bonus signups for over ten years. Is this worth the time?

How do you determine how to optimize with cash back sites and such?

That's a decision only you can make.

There!s a learning curve and a lot of different groups. They all have different scan and payment time frames. Most deals are below cost, other than a few select groups, and there’s often issues. Lost, stolen, missing, damaged products. You may or may not get a refund. Amazon is no longer refund friendly.
