I redeemed, and was purchasing costco.com egift card. Got denied. So I logged into giftcards.com, and type in the 16 digit card number + CVV, website says: "No card found with these details. Please check the details and try again, or contact customer service". WTF??
Which BofA card? Customized Cash doesn't code giftcards.com as online purchase. it will code as POI funding and 1% base rate

Exactly. I don't understand why people get so upset about this. If someone wants to complain that it's too much effort for the money saved, well apparently they had enough time to come here to complain about it!
Deals like these aren't for everyone. That's fine.
I'll buy these and use the balances immediately for internet/electric. All total for 6 cards and a savings of $53 (including all the cash back),
Seems people get upset even when it's about receiving free money. Welcome to 2024! 😄
Infinite loop not working this time around. Can't seem to add these cards to PayPal. No go on Google Pay either, because I think they're just passing the credit card number straight through (though the lack of a split option makes that option bad anyway).
It appears you have to fill in billing address when you redeem the visa gift card. I purchased Amazon and Costco gifts cards and everything went through.
Whatever you're spending these cards on, presumably you would have spent on your citi card for the 2% back anyways (had you not used these prepaid visas). So you're not really getting an additional 2% or $5.75 with this deal. You would get that 2% either way.
Not saying you shouldn't spend the time on this deal. but just pointing out for analysis and comparison reasons
Thanks for pointing that out. I'm already getting 5 or 6% back on my Amazon card so this would be pointless to convert to Amazon.

I tried this on their last deal during christmas. they block you from buying giftcards using a prepaid (like this)
Wasn't able to add the card to Paypal as a payment method. Never had this problem with prepaid cards before, but the trend seems to be these are less and less accepted. Still was able to use to pay utilities
Must include at least one virtual gift card for the promo code to apply. Was going to get physical ones as gifts since virtual ones are difficult to drain down online unless there are split payment options.
I've been using my Venmo credit card all along to earn 3% cash back on utilities because I was completely unaware of any credit cards that could beat that rate

3% back with my card
2% back rewards site
$26.54 profit. Took all of 10 minutes. I immediately used them for my electric and internet bills.
The check your balance thing on the site doesn't seem to work. But the cards worked fine.
I was also able to do it twice - so $53.

I did put the billing address when redeemed.
