On Friday, I wrote about a Groupon deal to resell iPads minis (first generation). Here are a couple of updates:
- The deal was extended for another 10 days!
- I'm not sure why, but my order was cancelled. I'll have to rebuy today
- I can confirm that Mr. Rebates portal did indeed payout 8% on Friday.
Unfortunately, the payout went down to 6% now :(
- Here are some new options for portals and ways to pay
- Portals
- Mr. Rebates, Be Frugal and Ebates are all paying a solid 6% ($54). Mr. Rebates did not pay out 8% for any taxes. That should be the same for all of them.
- Silly me, I forgot about Discover! Discover Deals is 5% on Groupon. When that gets doubled after 13 months, that would be a whopping 10% payout ($90)!
- You can apply for a Discover card from anyone's referral link and you will earn $50 now and $50 at the end of 13 months. Your referrer will get the same. If you get referred, make sure to refer your spouse for your 2nd card.
- Here is my referral link, feel free to comment with your own referral links.
- Ways to Pay
- If you are using Discover Deals, I recommend using your Discover card. You are more likely to get a manual adjustment if there is a problem later.
- Big Habitat mentioned a great idea. You can buy Groupon eGift cards at Staples with your Chase Ink to get 5x Ultimate Rewards (delivered the next day) and then come back through a portal to get your 6% or 10%. You can also buy Groupon Gift Cards at the Supermarket for Fuel Points or on eBay through Paypal Digital Gifts and you should get 5x Chase Ink points and 1.1% from Top Cashback and qualify for more eBay Bucks as well. Wow, that's pretty amazing!
