    OP, are you saying that I can purchase a gift card at a merchant for 5% and then purchase a plasma with it for another 5%?

    GiftCertificates.com universal certificate looks interesting. Buy the cert, get 3%. use it to purchase from another retailer with CashBack. In short you make 3% off the top.

    Can you buy other certificates from the retailer with it? and then use those certs to buy the item?

    Thanks for posting. The next step is to integrate this with the regular CashBack listings, preferably with a clearly visible above the % link indicating "CashBack at this store applies to Gift Cards / Certificates".

    We know that Cash Back & gift cards can be a bit confusing. It can be confusing for us as well at times!

    There are 3 basic scenarios we see in terms of merchants paying commission on gift cards/certificates (thus CB being available to you)
    - Some merchants do not pay on gift card/cert purchase or redemption.
    - Some merchants pay on gift card/cert purchase
    - Some merchants pay when the gift card/cert is redeemed

    With the gift-giving season upon us, we recognize that often the best gift for that hard-to-buy for person is a gift card/certificate so they can get what they want. The purpose of the list above is to share with you those Cash Back merchants that we know do indeed pay on the purchase of gift cards.

    Our experiences is that most merchants do not allow the purchase of a gift certificate with a gift certificate, so the GiftCertificates.com scenario most likely will not work.

    Always read the Cash Back Terms & Conditions listed for the merchant you are interested in. You will see things such as Cash Back available on purchase, not redemption, of gift cards.

    i wonder if any of these are perpetual motion machines?

    1) buy $100 gift certificate and earn $10 CashBack
    2) use $100 gift certificate to buy $100 gift certificate and earn another $10 CashBack
    3) rinse and repeat until martha stewart is your roommate

    Do any of these stores deliver their GCs electronically?

    For the 7% back from Bass Pro Shops it specifically says when you click for CashBack "Cash Back not available on E-Gift cards; Gift Cards; Artic Cats; boats; fine gun room; and Big Cedar Lodge", so what's the deal? Yes, or no? Thanks.

    Moderator Comment: Thanks for catching that! It looks like we have heard two different things so we have removed them from the list to be on the safe side. — Dec. 9, 2008 @ 9:56am

    Better option is to buy on the bay using live cas-hback. You can save upwards of 30%...

    Not sure which bay you are alluding to but surely it is not the Fleabay which is down to 15%

    Not to mention most the GC's people are selling on Fleabay are now factoring in the Live Cahsback. Nothing like selling a $50 GC for $60 knowing that someone will buy it.

    Would also be nice if this was integrated with retailers that are offering additional gift cards with the purchase of a given denomination of gift cards (e.g., buy $100 in gift cards and get a $25 bonus gift card).

    Moderator Comment: What a great idea! We will keep that in mind for the next time we put something like this together. — Dec. 9, 2008 @ 9:57am

    I have a few questions/comments here. at Barnes and Noble, when I get to the site, it has a banner that says "welcome FW shoppers." Clicking on this banner brings up the terms, where it says I can earn up to 6% CashBack, not the 8% FW has listed.

    Now, FW says B&N will not give CashBack on the redemption of GCs, but what if I go through live.com for the redemption and FW for the purchase? Live gives 12% still at B&N (even though it has the same exact banner, just saying "Welcome live.com shopper" instead of FW shopper, and gives the same terms (6%).

    Moderator Comment: "FatWallet is giving 8% Cash Back for Barnes & Noble purchases. Apparently the B&N banner was not updated for the Cash Back sale." — Dec. 9, 2008 @ 10:45am

    no

    websites that pay Cash Back will do either 1 of 2 things

    pay CashBack when u buy the GC

    OR

    pay CB when you redeem teh GC

    Never both
