When I got this email this morning I knew someone would put together a kickass deal. Thanks OP, in4one.

I don't bother with the cashback stuff, still a nice deal. Those Giftcards are a PITA too, hard to find online stores that will let you use them as a partial payment. For example, Newegg does NOT. IF a store is going to participate in the rebate you'd think you can use it there, and you could use it at Newegg but only for an item costing the exact amount or less. :frown:
Anyway, good deal, and worth the hassle.

you can use them to pay partial credit card / electric bills , cable etc. any online bill pay will take a partial payment. i used some before from a sandisk rebate thing for paying my ebay seller fees is another place to use it.

Didn't think about that, I guess I will use to partial pay my cellphone bill when I get this one. Still would be nice if more online stores accepted them.

I didn't see anyone with the Thurston Howell III user name. I get the Gilligan's Island reference, but not sure why you used that name and what context you meant it in. Was it a joke or something? If so I didn't get it.

Has anyone been able to use your $10 visa debit card? Also if you read the fine print it makes it seem like this is an actual account not just a rebate $10 card. Also in the fine print it says after 6 month they will start charging your account $3.00 a month for their services. I hope this "REBATE" isn't going to affect my credit score as appearing as another credit card account...
Tried using this as a partial payment at the grocery store, pizza place and BJ's Wholesale Club for gas. Tried as a debit and credit card, and no deal...

yes it is used as a credit card. and there is only a charge if there is a balance.
just use the full $10.00 somewhere and cut it up and throw it away.
do not use over the $10.00 amount, or you will get huge overcharge fees.
i had no problem useing my $20.00 card at Home Depot, put $20.00 towards my purchase and payed the remaining with cash.

Easiest way is to fill up with $10 of gas. Go inside the store first to charge it, and run it as a credit card. It won't work as a debit because they ask for a pin #. If your balance is $0.00 after your done using it you shouldn't have anymore problems. If you leave 0.01 cent the credit card company will have the opportunity to start charging fees after 6 months. Make sure it's zero balance.
I personally don't like these cards either and avoid them if possible. The last rebate I sent in had the option for one of these silly cards or a check. I took the check rather than deal with the BS associated with these cards.
