While we are limited to getting $1.50 discount from grocery fuel points in most areas, you can bring down the cost further by utilizing the Fuel Rewards program (assuming you have the accounts linked). You can get at least $.05 additional discount, plus some other deals. Remember to use a card that earns bonus rewards at the grocery.
Love the fuel points but don’t love the hard limitation to best buy. Not the most useful of gift cards. Even the Happy brands can be used at different places.
The trick is to use the discover it card for 10% CB.
Then you sell the best buy cards and THEN you sell the discounted gas door to door.
Why 10% CB rather than 5%. Maybe you refer to those first year users who will get bonus doubled? Very small group then.
To max it out, I’d spend $187.50 to get 1500 points, worth $30 at the pump. I can sell BB for 87%, meaning I’d get $24.38 less than I spent for the card. Not worth it (unless you have some use for BB gift cards). Bring back VGCs (or even MCGCs)!
I don’t think that math is correct. If you spent $187.50 on Best Buy gift cards, you would indeed save $30 at the pump. That puts your net cost at $157.50.
If you resold the $187.50 gift card at 87%, you’d get back $163.13. That means you’d actually be profiting by $5.63, plus ideally earning a bonus on your credit card from shopping at a grocery store.
btw, Cardpool is buying Best Buy gift cards for 88.5%, or more if you take payment as an Amazon gift card.
