Ah thats awesome. Forgot about that. I still have 4 I have no use for. Expiring later this year. Let me know if you ever need any in the future. I will almost always have spares.

For those of you who have been using the "five back visa gc", it looks like CVS will not longer be participating with the 5% back. Bummmer

Conflicting reports...some are saying immediately and some are saying January 20th.

You may be safe for this batch if you can take advantage by the end of the month. Even if CVS is removed, I'll still jump on the $500 gc promos in the future. I net about $45 per card when those come around without the CVS spend.

Not so worried about liquidating it. Just sad the party is over. It sucks because btr rarely gets any opportunities to load up on money maker deals. Even with this deal, turn around was so slow since I had to order and wait for the GCs to come in by mail. No Simons around. No HyVees around. No KMart. Terribl airport. Getting sick of this place

I was pretty new at this. But I found the 5backs to be a bit more of a hassle than it was worth. Only ever saw them in the $200 variety and Winn Dixie quit accepting CC payment for them. While Albertson's limited you to purchasing them only one at a time if using CC. I never tried ordering online though..

Online ones were $500 through GCM.com. Could use CC. Then buy OVGCs at CVS. Not bad at all for making $26 per card considering that I would be spending the GC fees for spg points anyway (I ms on my spg card at 1x). And all this is before counting the points.

Have no clue wtf you guys are talking about

I couldn't help myself and went ahead and applied for the CSR and got the dreaded "We need to review your application a little longer." So stupid that I am stuck on exactly 5 in 24 until late May. I'm going to lose out on 50k UR because of a few months

This is a pretty dope website for comparing cash back cards. Probably the best i've seen.

Call the reconsideration line or see a local branch. I hear the recon line works pretty well. Read r/churning for more info.

I got that too for CSR, had 3 chase cards with high limits and was at 4/24. Based on research, they said it was best to not call and let it ride. Few days later, auto approved with ridiculous high limit but they lowered my other credit lines.

AmeriKop, can you briefly enlighten us regarding your online gift card methodology?

Also, yes Baton Rouge sucks for many reasons.
