This morning I received a surprise email from Cardpool, which offered a coupon code for 5% off any gift card. $10 max savings. The email is definitely targeted.
Some Background and a Tip
On Saturday night, I tried to buy a Target gift card from Cardpool. I used an AMEX gift card to pay like I would on Raise. I was promptly rejected. I forgot that you can't use AMEX gift cards on Cardpool (It might work if you register your address over the phone).
I then left the gift cards in my shopping cart and didn't think about it again
This morning, I got the targeted email.
My recommention: "Buy" a gift card with an AMEX gift card or any card that will be rejected. Leave the cards in your cart and hope you get targeted too.
I don't know that this will work, but it can't hurt.
I was able to buy Staples gift cards at about 11% off and Walmart gift cards at about 8.5% off and I still get another 2% for using my Fidelity American Express. Not too shabby!
