I pay income taxes with Citibank Double Cash, fees pretty much equal the cashback. Then this makes it worth while!

It's always funny to see so many people knowing Citi has been doing this "15% on Black Friday and 20% on Cyber Monday" for years but still decided to cash out on 15%. Plus Thankyou Points never expire.
*Shared points expire after 90 days (not a major note, but an important one)

Are you sure about that? I added $1700 worth of gift cards to my Apple account, and have 2 additional $500 ech gift cards that Apple won't let me add to the account balance. I called Apple to place the order ($2352) over the phone. Apple used the account balance first ($1700), then was also able to (supposedly) use my gift cards, but finally they got an authorization error. We tried various ways but couldn't place the order. Apple told me that likely reason of the error is that you cannot apply gift cards also if you are using the account balance.
$2000 is the max you can have in your Apple Balance account -- if you're at $1700 then you can't add a $500 card (that would put you at $2200 which is not allowed)

$1700 + 2x $500 = $2700 - $2352 purchase = $348 remaining which is still too much ($1700 + $348 remaining = $2048 which is not allowed)

Your account balance won't actually go down until it ships and then your account balance limit will take 24hr to reset

Use the website to order instead and apply 2x $500 GCs and manually apply just $1352 from your account balance (you don't have to use all of it) -- otherwise try 2x $500 and $1351 balance and $1 to CC

If you can't order then your account balance might have a soft account block for hardware purchases -- you'll need to call Apple CS and have them create a trouble ticket saying that you're not able to make hardware purchases using your account balance

Someone from Apple higher up will manually look at your account balance for any fraudulent GCs then email you that its unblocked for purchases

So one can get multiple GC with ThankYou Points?
Yep! can confirm. Got like 10 gift cards. You just add the amount you want (min 25 max 500) to your cart.

Quote from JRJR :
I don't think the poster is stating that they pay state taxes on gift cards, but rather that they pay their federal income taxes online using a double cash back credit card, so that even if you are charged the 1.9% convenience fee for using a credit card to pay the taxes, if you are getting 2% cash back on the purchase from your credit card, it equals out to the same amount as the fee, or better.
I mean you're only earning 0.1% (1.9 vs 2) so you're literally making only $10 on this.
Then again, the extra 20%+ you get makes it all better Big Grin

Desktop website not working for me but Chrome mobile browser site went through, thankfully. I couldn't use the app as it doesn't work with Sears cards.

I was reluctant to put the below post, but there is always a genius who can help, and I counted on that. Yes, there was a soft lock on my account, don't know why, always have been good to Apple. Anyway, got that lock removed and ordered my Mac Pro M4 Pro for 20% off. Repped JaTaN!

Around 1% actually (0.96% to be precise, 2.78%-1.82%), but when it comes to paying Uncle Sam, that 1% adds up fast

This is the best conversion rate that I have seen. I redeemed $500 two yrs ago using 43000 points, and I thought that was great.

I was gonna convert some points, then I checked the points are worth a lot more if being used for travel. So 20% off , it's 1.2x , for travel average is 1.6x or more.

Experienced difficulty checking out with Desktop browser. Call-in wait time is horrible. Finally was able to complete order with mobile Chrome browser on a tablet. Hope this helps
