Gift card delivery fee: $1.95.

That sucks... Even e-gift card they charge $1.95 delivery fee...

[j_hig]

Looks like $1.95 fee whether it's plastic or an e-gift card, a little lame. Post on facebook and it's $21.95 minus $11 for a $20 gift card for $10.95. Might not be worth the hassle if you haven't used the website, but since my wife and I have accounts and are familiar with it, I'll go for it. Looks like they've started trying to get people interested again before holiday shopping since this is the 3rd decent mega OO on mastercard marketplace.

Friendgiftr's backend icardgiftcard is a pain to deal with. They are pretty trigger happy on cancelling orders.

These mega deals are funny only because they were the norm just last year. I went though my account and saw that nearly all the deals had at least 1000+ available. The only ones with 500 available were the $200 off $400 deals.

Do you mean it is the 3rd ranked decent mega OOs ever or it is the 3rd mega OO this month?

I'm a little confused by OP's post in that buying anything BUT starbucks when that's what the website says -- is it that you think Starbucks will sell out instantly so you need to pick out another card?

I know I could never get that Amazon card and had to get a Starbucks on giftcardmall from OO due to some type of glitch in their site. So you're anticipating something like that?

I am not terribly impressed by the options here. I did the Drugstore.com and BN cards but I don't know if I'll do this one.

If you check detail of offer on mastercardmarketplace it states "Offer Applies To: Online Items In-Stock (Includes Gift Cards) at Friendgiftr“, so the offer applies to all the thing sold at Friendgiftr not necessarily Starbucks GC. No anticipation, this is always allowed by Mastercard OO.

also don't get the starbucks part. back to oooooold days when starbucks GC was provided and offered directly by starbucks itself the orders were never confirmed and caused some problem. However, I see no reason why we can't order starbucks GC from 3rd party GC vendor.

edit: I see. OP should say "including, not limited to" not "other than" starbucks.

[ashcat79]

Nevermind.

I plan to do Panera if I remember to check tomorrow personally :) mmm half price lunch!

So this works on eGift Cards too?

They probably don't charge the $2 shipping fee on eGift Cards.

EDIT: Nevermind. :lmao:

Sorry for the confusing. Just modified it. Thanks!

[coolblues]

no Amazon...fail !

[lex2000]

just FYI, the site works like this:

You make a purchase and "your friend" will receive an email with a code which can be redeemed at icardgiftcard.com. It doesn't matter whats your selection at the time of purchase. So even if you bought an eGC it can still be redeemed for a plastic GC and maybe thats why they charge the fee regardless.

[andyk]

They have Staples.

I want to rep OP, but the system says "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to swordheart again." This really needs to be fixed!

Hope this works as well as the Home Depot deal (also posted by swordheart). So why can't I rep swordheart again?

[Mustlvcats]

It has not been mentioned yet. This merchant uses iCard to fulfill orders. Last time iCard was offered through Corporate Perks, all orders sent to oneself were canceled by iCard due to "fraud". I personally won an ofer recently at Friendgiftr and sent a gift card to another email address, in my husband's name, just in case. I am still waiting to see how it goes.

Thanks! I personally prefer to buy sears gift card since I can use it to buy other retailer's gift card at kmart. Staples rarely allows this and staples gift card can only be used in store.

Yes, they were significantly easier to get, and more generous last year between Black Friday and Christmas. Plus, a lot of them offered giftcards (such as Home depot and Lowes). The program has gone through many significant changes in the past year.

I am curious if they will bring back the 1000+ available deals this year.

The corporate OO site is structured very differently from the mastercard OO site now, which is also odd.

[ubdental]

What the h**l... How many people can actually get this deal? like 10?

[lie838]

Can I buy a gift card that is not Starbucks?

[PixieDreamZ]

How does this work? You pay only $10 out of pocket when the deal goes live? And buy Starbucks Gift card @ Friendgiftr? Does the gift card ship free? Sorry for too many question....any help is appreciated!

[gooody]

It says 3000, so the chances are better.

I think it will work for Starbucks gift card only. But I might be wrong.

You spend $20 (plus shipping and taxes) out of pocket and get 1000 wowpoints (worth $10) back. Here's a link:

What about being charged $1.95 on e-cards? I also have a question for them about iTunes gift cards can you provide their number for me?

[bigballs]

Gift card delivery fee: $1.95.

Total BS. What a bunch of jerkoffs.

Thank econsumer, the original link from swordheart wasn't working. I'm quoting you so that people can see the "real" link

[ketamine]

They call it delivery fee but it is rather processing fee, similar to what drugstore charges. They use a 3rd party GC processor afaik.

[j_hig]

4 Mega OO's on Mastercard Marketplace in the past month:
9/28 10 off 20 drugstore GC
10/14 10 off 20 drugstore GC
10/20 10 off 20 Barnes & Noble GC
10/25 10 off 20 friendgiftr GC

Probably trying to get people interested in the website again before shopping season and also playing games to pump up the checkin numbers so they can show what a popular website they have. It's a little tedious to track all of this, but I have a spreadsheet set up, so that's almost $80 savings between my wife and I.

[swordheart]

Does anyone know if icardgiftcard.com charges additional handling and shipping fee, or it is already included in the fee charged by Friendgiftr?
http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?sduid=0&t=2647843

[ketamine]

Still not sure if it's worth it if iCard is involved. I had some offers not crediting in the past but never had orders that were cancelled. Don't want to pay the noshow fee either.

I wish it was B&N again, time to start stacking up for NC2. :)

I don't think we'd deal with icardGiftCard at all but Friendgiftr would. My understanding, if icard cancels the order, obviously Friendgiftr does as well.

[tidoubleger]

And the countdown begins

[tenken]

don't forget, if you "like" or tweet the deal after you get it, you get an extra 1$ (100 points) credit back after completing the deal

so you pay 10 for a 20$ gift card, add 2$ for delivery fee, subtract 1$ for the share/like bonus, and you get a 20$ gift card for 11$. not too shabby if you need/want/use one of the available merchants.

[yangzi]

It's LiIVE now!

I got one!!

[quest4dollars]

anyone have good tricks for winning OO's? It's about to be OO season. Please feel free to PM. Thanks!

Can I send myself Starbucks GC by using same email address (for both sender and receiver)?

[dealhound123]

Got one, thanks!

[luckyyear2009]

Okay, I won an OO offer today. I only did this once months ago so I am a little foggy on the procedure. I am going to click thru to the Friendgiftr site now...

[tidoubleger]

From what I've read about previous transactions, use different email and name or else it will be cancelled for "fraud"

Okay. Thanks. I am glad I asked before purchasing!

[jb79]

Got one! First time doing this. Hope I did it right!

[j_hig]

great. looks like friendgiftr is getting hammered now (go figure).

will try again later. i'm surprised so many people jumped on this one so fast.

No problem at all. Of course you can send yourself GC.

[ashcat79]

Got it, sent it to myself as a fake first name that's close to my real name and my email address I have under that name.

Registered fakename self and sent to my home address but with work phone # :) Got a Panera Card without issue

We'll see if I get canceled. My postman delivers me other peoples mail all the time that's just got my address on it so I'm pretty sure it'll make it's way to me as far as naming stuff :)

What did other people do to get around igiftcard ? (And if we're rejected how do you find out?)

Finally finished checking out, the site was slow. Hope the statement credit goes through smoothly.

they don't email you when they cancel your order so you will have to login to icardgiftcard to check status. At least that's my experience with them.

Where does the option to share on facebook come up? I get the message about the extra 100 WOWpoints but no button to share it. Does it come up after you buy from the site? Thanks.

If they do cancel the order, do they automatically cancel the charges on your credit card as well? Or do we have to chase them to get our money back?

No you don't have to buy to get the extra 100 points.. I recommend logging out of facebook and stay logged out... then go to your reservations and you will probably see the like button now. Click it and it will ask you to log into Facebook

I wanted to get a giftcard for zappos.com because my son wanted something there for his birthday. I got the claim code and went to the link but the lowest choice for a zappos.com gc is $50. The item I was going to buy is only $35. Now I have to figure out which other gc to get. I didn't know they only allowed you to buy giftcards for certain amounts. :mad:
