Last week, I wrote that I bought a lot of $200 Brooks Brothers gift cards for $150 in the hopes of reselling them for a $1 profit, $16 from Mr. Rebates Shopping portal and free credit cards (assumed to be worth $2 at least).
Here is what has actually happened so far:
Here is what has actually happened so far:
- I bought 32 gift cards (31 from Mr. Rebates). 28 tracked correctly. 4 did not. I will not be following up to try and get them tracked due to the fear that all the money will be clawed back.
- Ultimate Rewards portal posted as well. 1,200 points. Some may find this more valuable than $16.
- 75.5% payout is now 75% on SaveYa, which is a difference of $1 per card. Not too bad. The issue is that the price could still go down. We'll see.
- I have been having issues with SaveYa. I applied for Bulk Seller status about 3 weeks ago. I was told I would get a decision within a few days. I have not heard from them. I have emailed and left messages. Hopefully, it is resolved soon.
- I was able to sell everything through Junkcard instead which is also paying 75%, but requires you to send the cards in. Boo! Better than nothing. I just hope everything tracks correctly and nothing is lost in the mail.
