I cashed out my discover cash back for the happy gift cards last year that had Lowe's and GameStop. If your plan is to try to convert to third party gift cards, I wouldn't recommend it. For Lowe's, all the stores around me in Chicago have simply stopped carrying third party gift cards. While on a trip to Bloomington, I stopped at a Lowe's with third party gift cards but the cashiers and manager would not let it me use the happy gift cards to buy them. I ended up using them to buy GameStop gift cards at a GameStop in hopes of buying an Xbox Series X. It's obviously pretty hard to liquidate a GameStop gift card. I'm sure others had easy experiences, but for anyone thinking to quickly convert these to Amazon gift cards it's seriously YMMV.

Depends on the location. The card specifically says that no gift card can be purchased, but some Lowe's employees don't check on them.

Please note that at my local Lowe's, gift cards can only be purchased at a manned register (i.e. no self-service kiosk).

Yes, and that's what makes these a good deal. These are run as credit gc's which Happy doesn't sell directly. I used over $500 last winter to buy Amazon GC at Lowes using the same method.

Thanks OP. Cashed in just short of $300. Go in around the holidays and you will find new cashiers who don't care.

Is there any limit on how many cards I can get? Well, obviously limited by the cashback amount I have.

That's only 16.66% off.
Frontpage is wrong it says "20% off" The thread title is correct.

Happy "run as credit" GC's generally do not work at e-business (e.g. will work @ Lowes B&M but not Lowes.com)

$200 GC for 160 = 20%

Or

$200 * 20% = $40 ... $200 - $40 = 160

where is the math wrong ?

I guess I could get it and then if it turns out to not work I could wait until a relative has $200 worth of lowes stuff to buy and sell it to them...

I just thought maybe someone in here had bought happy cards recently, so could know if it's worked. Does lowes only sell third party gcs ins tore, though?

3rd party and Lowes GC of course. Also Visa/MC prepaids I believe in addition to some phone prepaids perhaps.

they do if you want to buy gcs. some merchants see gcs as the devil.

There was a point where many stores wouldn't accept CC for prepaid CC like Visa/MC, but I've never had that issue with 3rd party store GC's.

They wouldn't accept CC for prepaid because they were tired of footing the processing bill. There is also the opportunity for fraud as well.

Cashed out these cards for eBay, Amazon and other GCs that Lowe's carries many times without issue. Last time I did it was a few weeks ago at my local store in upstate NY. Also had success in January at a location in western Mass.

I really wouldn't worry about running into trouble redeeming these.

Semantically I would argue it should be worded as "25% added value" as you are essentially buying a $160 gift card for $160 and they are adding $40 (40/160 = 25%).

I can see why they are using the 20% number in their wording, as 20% of the value of the card (40/200 = 20%) is "free".

Note there is a 4th Happy Card (in addition to "Holidays," "Dining," and "Moments") not listed in the deal editor's post. "Happy Rewards"
Quote :
Use the Happy Rewards gift card at any Regal Cinemas, Sephora, American Eagle, Barnes & Noble, Dave & Buster's or Under Armour location in the US.

About 2 months ago at lowe's, i tried with purchased $500 amazon gc with amex card when Lowe's had 10% off amex offer on top of 3 additional MR points, the cashier didn't let me. They called manager and we ran into argument, they still didn;t allow me to buy gc. Last week i need to buy few screws to fix something, i found out lowe's blacklist my amex card and i had to call my wife to swipe her card.

Lol.. That's the funniest thing I've heard all day. They usually dont allow for those % off stuff to be on GCs but what do I know. I love the effort.

How did you swipe your wife's card over the phone?
