I used the 12% cash back on Dell for a new computer. I have my Amex set up for membership points. Plus certain Amex cards have 10% points back as well. So that definitely helped me make my purchase today.

Will the Rakuten cash back or MR points still apply to your order if you paid with a (discounted) gift card? Just another way to stack the deals?

CS pretty neat. I was able to score a dell laptop. Half off from dell 1200 to 600. Used Amex 10% on the card + one Amex point Per dollar + 100 dell credit for Amex BP card. On top of that I got like 14 points from Ratkooten as you say it. Points just came through for over 6500! I’ll just cash them out through my CS platinum and get a dang new lab top for cheap! Making out like a bandit today that’s totally TopNotch stuff right there. Also got your ten bucks! Hoping it sent a little love back for you!

Yea, like Rakuten when you had it in another video back in May and I do use it for Amex Membership Reward Points. Here's a tip if you use Google Chrome, download the extension and it will advise you when you visit an online store that has a Rakuten discount.

Using Rakuten to meet min spend on wife’s CS Platinum so this has worked out well. Getting mostly 4-10%. Racked up 80% on LifeLock. Lesson learned, wait for all the Platinums to offer additional points at Saks and then buy during Black Friday, subtracting then$50. I also look on Amex offers, used ebags, first then over to Rakuten. Now looking into rocketmiles. Little know way to benefit

ebates promos come around pretty often. they vary by store. to give you an idea of how often, the last good site wide one was on 11/11 when most sites gave 11% cash back. that's actually better than black friday for some sites, like Macy's who are offering 10% today.

I'll be the one to ask the real question here: How the hell did you manage to get $4k already? Its been 1 month into the quarter. Referrals? That's insane.

Can we all just call it ebates instead of the stupid new name???

Cool.. but still went to the mall because people watching on Black Friday is better than shopping on Black Friday.

Credit Shifu what if you have the Blue cash cards do you get cash back or points or if you have a card lower than the Green card
your not elgibile ?

isn't Bloomingdales expensive for Christmas? unless your buying for your wife , but you wouldn't buy say a kid from 10 to 21 years old you wouldn't buy anything at Bloomingdales would you?

so do stores such as LL bean, J crew, Champs, Bath and Body works and the Body shop do these stores accumulate bonus points?

Mark went black Friday Shopping at Garden State plaza , Deals were ok at the Body Shop 40 % off everything except gift cards
So I got a gift set for a family member British rose and a co worker

then I went to Bath and body works there sales were buy 3 items and get 3 items free I was looking for gift sets this store went up 15.00 in one year the gift sets were not on sale so I have to look for my other co worker, she doesn't like sports. I'm trying to keep it down to about 20.00 dollars or so.

I used my Capital1 venture 1 card 1.25 miles per dollar spent.

how about you credit shifu did you buy any family members any sports teams socks, polos, shirts if so what teams? example

Buffalo Sabres, Buffalo Bills, Montreal Canadiens, Oakland Raiders, New York Mets, Chicago, Cubs, BlackHawks , Bulls
Golden State Warriors ect did you buy any socks or shirts in team outfits?
