Plastic Jungle - $20 Bonus through 1-19-2013

Plastic Jungle is currently offering a $20 discount off a future purchase of discounted giftcards

It appears that this offer is combinable with TopCashBack for an additional 2.5%.  I'm not a big fan of TopCashBack compared to other cash-back shopping sites, but they are the only one with a link for Plastic Jungle, so in this case they'll get my business.

This is a pretty good offer on it's own if you happen to have a couple of gift cards that you need to liquidate.  It can be an even better offer if you recently used your AmEx Platinum $200 airline reimbursement to pick up a couple of American Airlines gift cards.   It just so happens that I did this just last week, so I have $200 worth of AA giftcards that I've got no immediate plans for.  I'll get $160 cash for the gift cards, $4 from TopCashBack (hopefully) and $20 towards a future giftcard purchase.  In this case I value the cash now over the airline giftcards to use at a later date, so sometime today I'll be taking advantage of the offer.


If you're interested in learning more about Points, Cash, & Miles, consider following by email or just bookmarking the page - I'll be here with new material 2-3 times a week, possibly more if there happens to be anything I find really exciting in the world of points and miles.

It's Back! – 15% back at Priority Club Hotels with MrRebates.com

Mr. Rebates is advertising IHG Hotels as their "Store of the Week" and offering 15% cash back

This is 2 1/2 times their normal cash back rate.  I took advantage of this deal the last time it was offered for a hotel stay I had in September and found it to be an excellent deal.




What is Mr. Rebates?
Mr. Rebates is a shopping portal which provides cash back on purchases at select merchants.  Many of the major online retailers are partners with www.mrrebates.com and I tend to use them as my go to shopping portal as I find their cash back rates to be some of the best available.  They give you a $5.00 sign up bonus after your first purchase through their site and they do offer referral credits, so if you do choose to sign up I'd be appreciative if you'd use one of my links– if prompted for a referral email address, just use pointscashmiles@yahoo.com.

Don’t leave Cash on the Table – 15% back at Priority Club Hotels with MrRebates.com

I'm not sure how long this sale is going to be running but I believe this is close to 3x the usual cashback amount for IHG hotels.
 

 


I’ve used other cash back sites over the years, including Big Crumbs, ebates, and TopCashBack.  I started with BigCrumbs, added ebates.com when some sites weren’t available on BigCrumbs and then eventually moved away from those sites as Mr. Rebates seemed to have a better selection of retailers and the best payouts.  TopCashBack does frequently offer slightly higher rebate percentages than Mr. Rebates but I've sometimes had problems with the transactions showing up in my account and getting credit.  I've never had any problems of the sort with Mr Rebates which is part of the reason they are my go to cash back portal.
