I bought a $10 Home Depot eGift Card. We'll see how long it takes for the statement credit. If it's anything like the PRG airline reimbursement I'm sure it will be pretty quick.
ETA: Bought the gift card from Newegg.
Whoa nice! Thanks for sharing! Just tried this. Looks like someone commented on the article that they got their credit in 4ish days so we'll see!
Thanks so much for the heads-up on this; I just went to the Newegg site for a reload card for my phone (yeah, I'm that cheap... LOL)
If everything works as it should, I might give it a try with my other card as well, since TPG reports that it can be used once per card (not once per online account).
We'll see how it goes!
You can also buy 40 cent games codes on NewEgg and still get the $10 back per card

Just tried it with 1 Amex card a .40 game code for a game I don't even have.. See if it works... So I can also do it on my other two amex's as well? I will take 30 free dollars for 1.20$ spent

It's also once per card per retailer, so you can get some money from other sites too. There are some tickets available on Ticketmaster for a $1 donation. I may or may not have donated $2 yesterday after getting some Hulu gift cards from Newegg last week.
So if you have authorized users and they have online accounts, that's even more ways to earn some statement credits back. Hmmmmm I have three users who have online accounts.
Thanks David Puddy and Waynes for making me think about more than just one $10 credit.
I have two AmEx and DH is an AU on each. He doesn't have a separate online account, but they're different card numbers.
So from each retailer (not that would do more than one or two of the retailers) I could I do one purchase (one online account), two purchases (one each for BCP and TE) or four (one for each card number).
Also, we've never looked into an online account just for DH as an AU. I've seen people mention it on here, but haven't had a reason for it. If he did set up an online account, then if he got an Amex as a primary, would it show both where he's an AU and whatever that primary card is?
