Does anyone have a number to fast track savings so I can get my ID #?

Got it thanks, added your ValueMax link too. Yeah, I don't mind splitting the threads into two since applepare's is quite active and people are used to communicating there while using my thread as a repository of information.

I just know that when I started out (as did many others over the years have) there was so much disjointed information out there on these great programs. FW gives us the ability to consolidate this, but since it's such an octopus of programs that we ever changing the target, it's that much harder to maintain. We'll see how long I'll be able to keep it up (with everyone's support of course!)

Okay, been reading this thread. Here's what I'm trying to do....

I can use all the experience others have regarding this.

I want to buy Apple computers worth about $3500.00 through $4000.00.

What is the best club to join to buy Apple computers through Amazon?

Any fatwallet.com members have a better idea of how to purchase these?

I could use step by step details as this the first time I'm buying something using a gift card. Can I really save 20% off the sale?
I don't want to buy $3500.00 worth of gift cards only to learn that I can't use Amazon or a decent retailer for my Apple computer purchase.

Thanks for your help.

so which program still has Amazon GC?

IrateConsumer said:Montreid thanks for your suggestions.

You mentioned "signing up for as many programs within Amazon - usually 5 to7", what does signing up to programs mean? Are these gift certificates in $500.00 increments to certain Amazon departments? That aren't checked when used?

Amazon GC work as one department, no limits to a single department. They come in $25 increments and then simply add the GC code into your account under "my account" or during the checkout process, it doesn't matter. Amazon remembers it on their server. Most dealpass programs are $500 limits in to each retailer (24+ offers $750), so you'll have to get ~7 programs enrolled to get to $3500. I don't think there are 7 different programs offering Amazon, thus you'll have to use a separate account to get them all..


Does dealpass offer any refunds, if this doesn't work?

Good luck on that one!

No, even though it's sponsored by household, no restrictions on which credit card used (no AMEX on MSS though).

Amazon is back in Galleria, Passport to Fun, Connections, Today's Escapes

I have tried most of programs and using different name, phone, credit cards, etc. It does not work (it will give me some kind of error message with error code I could not remember after I clicked submit) unless I change the address. I used my sister's address and it called me said this address does not match the one registered with my credit card and canceled my account. Anyone got the same problem? I still can not figure out how to by pass this problem. Any help or comment is appreciated. If nothing works out I guess only thing I can do is join Everydayvaluesgold since I got the citi card or join something else not offered by membershipme.com.

You could try calling the headquarters and see what is the issue since you only did it once to clarify the situation. Ask for the resolutions department/billing department on the error reading. I would use a valid name/address/cc (household bank on MSS is probably easiest to confirm) and clear whatever error reading. Household bank is the sponsor bank to a lot of 'store' VISA/MC: GM Card, Target are just two of them.

Did anyone succeed using the link in OP to sign up for Backporch. There is alway an erro msg at the top of page "Error Getting Option List...
Service Class is required (JCPmbrEnroll-GetWebOffers)" and I could never submit it.
