Yeah 10%, but I just realized the max cashback is only $2 per transaction. Terrible
I got scammed by that "offer" too. Could have used Citi Doublecash and made far more money back on what I spent. Always read the fine print, especially with Chase "offers"
My Chase United Quest just paid my claim full refund on a 2 year old Dell G16 and I kept the laptop. The extra year warranty (3 years total) from Quest card is worth more than the cashback.

Is the Chase offer for eBay purchases? Also through browser extension or chase rewards credit card offer? EDIT: I think I found it, but I'm reading in the fine print it's a $3 cash back maximum?
Yeah awful cashback. I just read it. It cost me more in time to review the terms than the value lol

I have the same Chase eBay Offer. It says "Earn 10% cash back on your eBay purchase, including taxes and after any discounts, with a $3 cash back maximum."
This has been around this price for several months due to several known issues:
Bad build quality and thermals (Acer is sensibly worse than Asus/Lenovo for same device tier). It will run hot and be very loud for most gaming.
Random 10-15s freezes for no clear reason. Multiple reports of this if you google around
Battery life is extremely bad due to locked screen refresh rate (240hz) and issue with sleep mode
If you are ok with these, the specs to price ratio is insane but know that you are getting a portable desktop with worse thermals.
Locked refresh rate has been fixed in BIOS for a bit BTW, 120Hz becomes an option when unplugged.
I got this exact refurb ~9 months ago. Overall it has been awesome, I wanted a solid gaming laptop that was easy to travel with. Personally I don't mind the fans (I wear headphones when gaming) and the battery is a non-issue for me, I travel a lot but always plug in at the destination. I would have preferred the Asus G14/G16 but I got one, had daily BSODs, returned and second one did too, gave up on Asus for that generation and got this. If you don't need quiet + long battery, it's a steal compared to the competition 🤷
