9% back on Sbux gift cards via TopCashBack (TopGiftCards). First decent offer I’ve seen on there actually.
Don’t see any store on TCB called Sbux?
Starbucks gift cards at 9% discount via Topgiftcards……..
Has been at this rate for a while – a big favourite of mine when stacked with Blue light discount and Starbucks Gold membership.
Anyone had an issue redeeming Everywish in the last week?
I have been using these for Asda and Sainsburys and even though they still show when doing a retailer search on the everywish website, when I input my gift card code and click redeem, ASDA and Sainsburys disappear. I can redeem against other retailers OK but my main use for these is for ASDA/Sainsburys.
Same problem with Amazon. It appears some retailers have stopped allowing everywish as a backdoor to buying a gift card for a ‘rival’. So if you get an every wish gift card at one store, it’ll have Amazon, but not if you buy at, say, currys.
anyone else use or tried the Hyperjar app?
not used it too much yet, but just purchased airbnb vouchers, through another credit card onto it (getting 0.5% back) then in Hyperjar gets 5% bonus airbnb voucher/cashback.
A little convuluted to purchase, use voucher in airbnb etc but worth it for the saving. some supermarkets have 2% cashback on hyperjarand worth noting the cashback was instant on hyperjar
compared to TCB? As I also see they have giftcards on with same/v similar cashback rates ie 5% airbnbSame problem with Amazon.

I have been getting everywish in Boots for a few months and only the most recent cards I have not been able to redeem for Asda or Sainsbury’s but I can redeem for Amazon.
There doesn’t seem to be a way to check in advance which retailers will be available other than the few which are printed on the card itself.

Yep. It’s really frustrating. And Amazon recently disappeared from the boots packaging so hoping it is not next to go.

Amazon are not even on the packaging on the ones I have purchased, but then neither are Asda or Sainsburys. If there is a risk of not getting at least one of Amazon, Asda, Sainsburys then I am going to stop getting Everywish as I can generally get decent discounts (and with less hassle) on the other retailers they offer.
Anybody got a good method to get McArthur Glen gift cards?
Exactly, although even Sainsbury’s isn’t great. When you have missing items on an online order the correct value is not refunded to the giftcard, which leads to a time consuming phone call every few weeks to get the refund… it’s an issue they know about but have not fixed in over a year.
I’ve experienced this repeatedly, too. If you use a £40 coupon (+£10 payment) on £50 of shopping, and then £15 of items are missing, the cash portion is reduced to £0.01, but you never get the £5.01 missing from the coupon recredited.
You then call them up and get varyingly told that 1) they don’t understand your problem, 2) they do understand but the coupon will credit in 28 working days, 3) they’ll refund it as a one-time customer service goodwill gesture.
Really really not worth it tbh. Sainsbury’s know about this issue and by refusing to fix it there’s an argument that they might be committing fraud.
I’ve found that contacting Sainsbury’s via Facebook messenger is quick and they always resolve this problem immediately by crediting my account with a coupon of the missing value. But I do agree they should just fix it.
The easiest fix would be to create “balance account” a bit like Amazon, and then refund you credit.
But I think they heavily rely on giftcards being lost, expired or “gone” like in the example above (and that customers won’t notice).
So why bother “fixing” if it’s not broken for them 🙂And they do say – people waste 30% of giftcards.
The biggest cheek was that Sainsburys tried to tell me they couldn’t refund any balances from 6 months ago due to their ‘terms and conditions’. It had taken me a long time for me to notice the ‘issue’ due to the way they fiddle the numbers on your receipt to hide the problem – the maths is plain wrong! Knowing that terms and conditions don’t protect you against theft I promptly escalated to their executive complaint department who gave me a £50 voucher to apologise. I still email the same lady who helped me when the issue reoccurs. But the fact it hasn’t been fixed yet is absurd, needs flagging to trading standards.
I think they heavily rely on giftcards being […] “gone” like in the example above (and that customers won’t notice).
So why bother “fixing” if it’s not broken for themWhich is why I think Sainsbury’s are dangerously close to committing fraud here.
The receipt is misleading and doesn’t reveal the issue, it outright states fewer vouchers have been used than actually have been.
But the fact it hasn’t been fixed yet is absurd, needs flagging to trading standards.
It makes me smile when people say this… Like local Trading Standards, as destroyed by years of under-funding, are going to do anything…

Better off taking it to the press, Watchdog, Mail Money etc.
Actually I had a surprisingly good response to a Trading Standards complaint I had not long ago (regarding a company using a sister company’s credit card machine to process a transaction, thus complicating a section 75).
But yes, think this is better with a Martin Lewis style campaign…
Anyway, back on topic, have noticed you can now get Lifestyle reward gift cards from Argos so that’s a new route.
So work is moving from Edenred to Reward Gateway, which I believe they’ve bought.
How are the GC discounts on the other side, does anyone know? Should I be stocking up now?
Currently it’s 10% at Greggs and Pizza Express, 7.5% at M&S and 5.5% at Apple, for instance.

It might be different for others on Reward Gateway but mine shows:
Greggs Not available
Pizza Express 10%
M&S 7% and also 7% using easysavercard
Apple Gift card 4%
Sainsbury’s 5%
Asda 4%
Tesco 4%

Thank you, that’s very useful! Off to buy some Greggs GCs then!
