I like to tell anyone who reads the blog that they should be buying and selling gift cards for cheap points. I highly recommend it. There seems to be a bigger gathering today, compared to even 3 months ago. One thing that I haven’t really touched upon in gift card churning is playing the exchanges Read More
GiftCardWiki Is Awesome Because… If you go to GiftCardWiki’s Market section, you will see an aggregated amount of data for all of the exchanges, and then some that I have never heard of. I did not know that CardCash has inventory almost twice the size of the closest competitor in Cardpool. If we look at the Read More
Free-Quent Flyer made a great post about Amazon Allowance with excellent uses and I wanted to take it a step further. He is suggesting using Amazon Allowance to hit the minimum transactions per month in order to hit certain bonus thresholds or to waive maintenance fees. This is an excellent idea to automate those small charges Read More

When I like something and it doesn’t matter what, it Read More
Trevor recently asked “Do you stockpile store gift cards?” and Matt has a good counterpoint on stocking gift cards. After writing my post in March where I discussed the floating cash, in April I have been stock piling gift cards because of the various gift card deals that have recently popped up like all the flash floods Read More
There have been so many messages that have come across my lap regarding the spend $10,000 at a cost of $25 from this original post. Many more requests have come because of yesterday’s post on what I did with eBay and Target. For all those that got into it early, congratulations! You were able to get Read More
Not too long ago, I wrote about Gift Card Granny’s new Flash Deals and I’ve been keeping an eye on it. It turns out it’s really not as good. Points For Later has it covered that it’s not that useful and I have to agree with him. Here’s a recent screen shot, only one from eBay and Read More
Let’s jump right into the spending, I’m a little over 35 days into the challenge and Noah has done a pretty good job of updating everyone on his spend. My next update will likely be my last as I plan to have completed the challenge and could include the amount of time spent for both Read More
