  • Redeeming wise ... More is better. 

Can you explain this? How so?



I like to redeem my pts to gift card.

 

More ... gives you EXTRA $5 to $20 more on the face amount.  *They just had promotion on the Shell Gift card ... Double the Amount!!   $20 for $40.

Freedom ... No EXTRA

*The best thing with Ultimate Rewards ... you can redeem your pts with minimum of 500 pts.

 

Freedom's Ultimate Rewards has retailers that you may shop in daily basis: Walmart,  Target, Kmart.

More has the retailers that Freedom doesn't:  Red Lobster, Pizza Hut etc.

Trying to find out where this information is coming from.

 

As I look at my ShopDiscover, I see Target.  Don't see KMart, but you could theoretically jump and buy KMart stuff from Sears.com since their stores are meshed together, if I recall.  I also see Wally World up there.  Don't see Pizza Hut.  Don't see Red Lobster.  Not that I shop at either place.

 

In fact the only store that I don't see that I wish they would figure out how to add is Amazon.  If they added Amazon.com on ShopDiscover, my Amazon card would be toast.  I dare say 80% of my purchases every year are from that site.

Credit Cards:

Bummer! Usually, their gift card deals don't interest me as I don't shop at these places. The $40 for $20 Shell card is awesome, though. I don't have enough cashback currently to get that one. I'll keep looking out for those deals in the future.

I guess I'm still confused.  What exactly stops you from simply buying the gift card you want with the cashback?

Why?   What made you confuse?

 

Have I said that?  NO, I haven't say anything about something stops me getting the gift cards that what I want ... right?
