Free w/Express Delivery. no service charge if you use Express delivery ($15) Gift-17

Not a fan of the 3rd code. But 1 and 2 seem much better.

what does buy 2 get one free mean?

Buy 2 gift cards and get the third one w/o a service fee.

Although, I wish I could buy 2 for $750 each and get a free $750 gift card. :p

DAmn I could hope ;)

Is this deal any good? Anything like CO?

Not as good as CO. Per their site max $100/day from ATMs and $50 cash advances. It doesn't mention if they give you a pin...if they do, you could use them for money orders. Works out close to 1 cent/mile with the above promo code.

I will wait...

Sorry I just realized CO likely meant Charter One (I thought it referred to an existing Continental offer).

There is $2.50 charge for each ATM withdrawal, even if you use B of A AtM.
Read the tcs before jumping in

not worth it, in my opinion

Sorry for being lazy and not finding out myself (it looked like I had to complete the order form) what cards do they take? Is it just Visa/MC or AMEX , ect? Thanks

Why would you go to an ATM? Wouldnt you just buy a Money Order at the Post office for $1.25 ?

They DO give you a pin? so you can use it as a debit card to buy MO?

They allow atm w/d's so i imagine they have to give you a PIN

It could incur a cash advance fee on your visa. Anyone try this with the United Mileage Plus Visa?

From T&C
"If I use my credit card to purchase a Gift Card, will I be charged a cash-advance fee?
If you use a Bank of America credit card to purchase a Gift Card, your credit card won’t be charged a cash-advance fee. If you use a non-Bank of America credit card to purchase a Gift Card, you may be charged a fee — check with your card issuer to know for sure. "

Purchase vs. Cash Advance Coded
 

That seems similar to the dead CO GC deal. The key word is you "MAY" be charged. It all depends on how the issuing bank processes GC transaction. CO GC was coded as purchase back then.

Is there a brave soul who had tried it and knows for sure this is a purchase transaction instead of cash advance on the creditcard? ;)

New promo code Gift-13 for 30% off service fee
 

I'm surpised this thread got no attention, with this code or with Gift-21 the cost of the mile is 0.74 cents.
I called customer service and found out that pin-based transaction do not incure extra fees, so money order route works. Also, cashback at POS terminals works with no fees, some free cash withdrawals here.

Might be not a great deal, but combined with some promotion for cards with double miles or > 1% cashback comes out not bad either...
