Anyone have any experience with AAA gift cards?
They currently have a 20% Cashback deal on Starbucks and Shell. I definitely buy lots of gas at Shell.
But what can you do with the 20% rebate, I am unclear.
Thanks.

AAA - no processing fee giftcards
If you peruse this thread, you may come to realize why not much has been written about using these cards for MSing

I know that the search function is not the best in the world, but putting AAA giftcards in it comes back with the following:

I suppose the old data and the absence of new DP shows the lack of viability for MSing.
Thanks.

AAA Mastercard gift cards with no purchase fee for holidays
I just received an email from AAA offering Mastercard gift cards with no purchase fee for the holidays. Many years ago, I purchased AAA Visa gift cards and remember those were issued by Metabank. I'm unfamiliar with the new issuer and servicer, as noted below (from the fine print in the email). I wasn't sure if it made sense to post about this in the old Visa GC thread or here or a new thread, but posted here since it's a recent thread and I didn't want to create clutter with a new post about a card that might be relatively useless.
No Fees After Purchase | Non-Reloadable | No Cash or ATM Access
1 $0 purchase fee applies to Mastercard Gift Cards purchased by Members at local AAA stores only and is valid from November 24 to December 24, 2023. Limit of 10 $0 purchase fee Mastercard Gift Cards per membership.

I did inquire at two different clubs as to whether I could purchase the cards with a CC and was told that only cash, bank debit card or check was acceptable.
DId your club allow these to be bought with credit cards?

Another problem with AAA GCs, which has been discussed in the old thread, was that one could not purchase these cards with a credit card.
