Today was a majorly hectic day for Manufactured Spend activities for me.
- It all started with this post from Doctor of Credit. eBay was offering 20% off any item with a maximum discount of $80.
- I tried to buy eBay gift cards, but PayPal hates me, sometimes. I wasn't able to buy anything sold by PayPal. Instead I bought $400 of Staples gift cards sold by Gift Card Mall for $330.32 which is 17.4% off because of shipping fees.
- I also earned $6.60 in eBay Bucks and $3.63 from Top Cashback. That was a great start to the day!
- The deal went dead before I could post about it. It came back again, but died very quickly again
- 2 Serve Reloads at Family Dollar
- More on that in a later post
- My 32 $200 Brooks Brothers gift cards arrived
- Time to start selling. I already have commitments for $1,200 from family and local buyers
- I earned $6.00 a gallon in fuel points from Stop and Shop via $2,000 of Amazon and eBay Gift Cards, putting my total fuel points at $12 a gallon off.
- I will use the eBay Gift Cards the next time I am targeted for increased eBay Bucks.
- I maxed out my NBA card bonuses along the way. That's $175 on top of the fuel points.
- I paid $0.59 a gallon for gas tonight after $2.20 a gallon off from fuel points
- I only used 14 gallons. The gas station attendant saw how cheap the gas was and asked if he could fill up his car. No problem! I even earned 5% cashback on the gas he paid me for in cash!
- $100 BP gift cards arrived. Promptly sold for $90 each.
After the Staples gift cards, everything was done after a full day of work!
