New promo terms:
Paze is not available at Newegg for subscriptions, pre-orders, backorders, trade-in orders, third-party gift cards (digital or physical). To learn more about this campaign and exclusions, visit paze.com/offers
However, per Paze spokesperson:
"I want to let you know that because usage has become heavily concentrated at one merchant, we are clarifying the program's eligibility for certain transactions to better align with the original goal of driving broad, sustained adoption. This promotion was designed to introduce cardholders to Paze and encourage them to use it as a convenient checkout option across many online retailers over time.
Practically, what this means is that consumers will no longer be able to purchase third-party gift cards through Newegg with this promotion."
The spokesperson also confirmed that orders placed from yesterday until today, when Newegg stopped allowing Paze for 3rd-party gift cards, will be honored as per the original promo terms. Per the terms, it can take up to 2 billing cycles for that credit to post to your account.

Another interesting observation...I recently obtained the Citi Custom Cash before they closed applications. For that card, it appears that Paze is unavailable through the Citi Card Control portal. I also did a product change from Doublecash to Custom Cash, and that card does show up in Paze.

Exactly. I did cvs home depot and lyft. Family goes to cvs, done. Who doesnt use hd, done. Flight next week so airport ride with lyft, done. Worst case we get 10% or 15% if you transfer points to reserve card. I think the people who lose out are the ones who smashed every brand gc x5 to get the credits to places they wont use or go to
Now that we know that these will pay out my kids are getting Munchkins all summer from DD.
I find it quite funny though that they may have thought it would be too much hassle for people to buy just $5 or $10 gc. I wonder how they will continue (going forward) with the promo since it was supposed to run till september but it was effectively paused after a bit more than 1 day
There were so many options it was easy to just choose a merchant you spend at normally. Chase still was giving 10x points which is still good even if the credits dont go through. There's really not a ton of risk go me having some money at chipotle where i eat literally all the time or home depot where im at almost every week
When it went to newegg first party gc's they got less valuable, but we also had more info at that point to be pretty sure it would be honored
I also think people are forgetting that, if things go wrong, then tons of people complain to these companies and demand what is "owed to them". This very much discourages easy and lucrative promos in the future. Someone brought up that they'd go to their state AG. Are we really thinking that this is a situation where we tie up public resources??
Good to know but the more we post about these the higher chances of them closing this promo as well so I would say enjoy it but quietly

You're underestimating the SD effect. I have been here so long I have seen promos die quickly because folks come here and brag a lot but hey you do you.
but it wasn't those who bought 5 gcs or even 10. $50 to $100 is not going to set off the alarms. it was those who were in the $1000+ using dozens of cards; basically hammering the servers and getting locked out and dozens of declines and cancellations.
