Thanks, you have so helpful. Actually doing this though, I'm seeing my savings disappear. I paid $191.60 for the $200 Target gc ( 1.6% going through iConsumer and 1% cc reward on top of that). That transaction saved me 6% in total, or about $11. I should get 2% eBucks ($4) but it's going to cost me $4 shipping so that's a wash.....when the actual Target cards come, I will switch payment at the end and save another 5% totaling 11%. If I'm doing this correctly, in the end I will have paid $178 for the $200 in Disney cards. Not bad but I wish my little savings weren't all over the place (cc rewards, iConsumer etc.) You guys have been awesome .
I'm glad we can all help! It may be beneficial to set up a spreadsheet to track everything in. It's hard sometimes because things like ebates, Swagbucks, Ebay bucks take a while to credit. But it will be nice when you get that check (I have $200 in Ebates so far, from gift cards and other online purchases) that will go towards your trip! It also helps to do it in larger quantities - starting at $200 was good for me as well because I got to learn the process, and then I added more to it. For example, if you're doing $450, you'd need 3 $150 ($2.99 plus $.99 plus $.99 = $4.97 to ship) but then you'd earn $4.50 in Ebates and $9 in Ebay bucks, netting $8.53.
