Update: I did in fact get 5% cashback from my Discover on the full purchase price, not just what on how much I spent on my Discover.
My family needed a new bookshelf so here is how I went about buying it:
The Bookshelf started off at $69.99 at Office Depot.
- -$17.50
- As I reported yesterday, Office Depot is offering 25% off one item until the 29th.
- -$2.46
- I bought a $40.97 Office Depot gift card for $38.51 from cardpool.com
- -$0.82
- I started my purchase from cardpool.com at Top Cashback and got 2% cashback on top of my purchase price
- -$0.82
- 2% cashback on every purchase with American Express Fidelity.
- -$0.76 to -$2.80
- Save 5% with Shop Discover. 5% of the remaining balance is $0.76. In the past, I have gotten cashback on the full price even though I have paid for some of the purchase with gift cards. $2.80 is 5% of the full purchase price after the coupon code.
- -$0.30
Total savings = $22.66-$24.70 off a $70 item. 32.4%-35% off. Not too shabby!
