Just for mathematical clarification, this is NOT 20% off. It is 16.66666667% off.

You are actually buying $60 gift cards for $50 (you are not buying $50 gift cards for $40).

Theres always one dumb person who doesn't understand math that will argue against this.

Where does it say anything about "20% off?" I'm only seeing "20% bonus when you buy a $50 gift card."

Close to 20% off factoring in credit card cash/points back! Good enough for me!

Have you verified that it works? The Happy FAQ states:

CAN HAPPY CARDS BE USED TO PURCHASE GIFT CARDS?
No. In general, Happy Cards cannot be used to purchase other gift cards.

It doesn't. I was simply refuting the obligatory and inevitable Slickdealer who is going to say it.

Its called a preemptive refute.

You seem to be one of the ones that know the difference between "20% Bonus" vs "20% off". But I theorize that not all the people on Slickdeals have a brain cloned from yours.

Home Depot used to be on one of them ( and probably the reason they aren't on main happy anymore) is this is considered " Credit" so you can purchase Any gift card at home Depot. I haven't tried with Lowe's or GameStop but would love to hear from those that have / and also I will try myself and report back hopefully the credit trick still works

Hold my beer ... that's exactly what you're doing when you choose to redeem at a specific store ... you're getting a gift-card from the store, and Blackhawk/GiftCardMall/MetaBank has no visibility after that. GameStop is unique in that they understand the math of buying credit from Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo/Steam/etc @ 25% discount, whereas those marketplaces turn-around and charge 30% to the game publishers. So in the end, MetaBank gets 3% for the MasterCard transaction (because it's a 16-digit code beginning with a "6"), Blackhawk/GiftCardMall gets 5.33%, GameStop gets 5%, and online gaming services get 5%, so everybody wins (except the GameStop staff, who are treated like dirt). Frown

Here's my previous reply/explanation about the in's/out's of "GameStop credit -> game credit" from the prior SD on 2021-Aug-17 ...

Quote from Cornelius :
Thumbs up to the OP! I never seem to know when Kroger runs deals like this, and GameStop allows purchase of both their credit and/or online-marketplace credit (PSN, Xbox, Steam, Nintendo, etc), so this is one of the few ways remaining to get digital-marketplace currency @ 16% off when you go to the B&M store to get yourself or give to someone a tangible gift / gift-card.

A few notable tips occurred to me that I thought I'd share for this SlickDeal(tm) and/or future Happy card SD's down the road ...
  1. The retailer processes these Happy cards EXACTLY like a non-reloadable credit card, with the only stipulation that the retailer knows the first 4 digits belong to "Blackhawk", so they're allowed to be processed as a CC & not go through Visa/MC/Discover's own validation.
  2. If you have an item requiring more funds than will fit on the Happy card, so you have to use a 2nd CC, you'll need to either call & place your order online, or go to the B&M store for the split transaction.
  3. With stores like GameStop, if you have enough credit on your store account and/or gift-card for the remainder, the website will ALWAYS deduct from the gift-card first, so again, you'll need to go to the B&M store to handle the split transaction.
  4. If you're stumped about what to get @ GameStop (amongst the 6 or so chains listed), I recommend getting GameStop and/or digital-marketplace currency, so that "an even dollar amount" is deducted, and you don't end up with "uneven" or "small" amounts remaining (due to sales tax, prices ending with ".99", etc), and thus you might feel like throwing it away. Confused
  5. Purchasing digital-marketplace currency (PSN, Xbox, etc) requires some pre-planning, especially when it's a $25 Happy card, because some digital-marketplace currency may only come in $10/$20/$50 increments, leaving $5 left over. To use that last $5 with GameStop's website, you'll either purchase $5 of GameStop credit with the $5 remaining, so you can combine it with another Happy card's remaining $5 to purchase $10 of PSN ... or once again, go to the B&M store to handle the split transaction.
  6. And lastly, if you're a member of GameStop's PUR program, and get a $5 coupon code to use each month, go to the B&M store to use this credit, because often the B&M store will gladly apply the $5 coupon to your digital-marketplace currency purchase (whereas the website doesn't let you do this).
Note that this worked 100% when I purchased on 2021-Aug-18. Here's a text-scrape when I chose to access my eGift from Blackhawk (aka "GiftCardMall") ...
