Me too. Have a cruise in May.Isn't it about time for a Dosh/Sam's deal?? I could use one right now.
In case anyone is wondering if Dosh is running a Sam’s Promo they just haven’t advertised, they’re not. Went there tonight and got the normal 2%.
Yeah, totally false advertising when I got the Dosh email yesterday for "Special Presidents' Day Offers + Extra Cash Back"... checked the app and absolutely nothing different. All the same offers showing and I didn't even see anything with extra cash back. So far Dosh has not been good for me, I'm still waiting on my $20 for signing up for a Sam's membership (it's stuck in Pending, I'll be filing a ticket soon) and there's not much else I use on it. I'm sure something will come up eventually but just not feeling it at the moment.
Target 5% unless you can have a credit card that can get you more than 5% somewhere that sells gift cards.So, whats the best deal going to get $2,000 in GCs in a month, no Sams/Bjs membership? Target 5%, BB SB(closest BB is 15 mins away, so not very convenient) or credit card points is all I can come up with...
I'm in the same boat, we leave on march 11th and there hasn't been any good gift card deals lately. I look at the target red card deal as the absolute last resort. I wouldn't call it a boycott but I haven't given target any business since they closed the gift card loopholes.So, whats the best deal going to get $2,000 in GCs in a month, no Sams/Bjs membership?

If nothing better comes along, I will buy my gift cards at the grocery store with my discover for 5% back and extra gas points.

Do you have Kroger or an affiliate near you? They are running 4x fuel points on gift cards through 2/19. If you maximize the fuel rewards (35 gallons at a time), you can get a 14% savings. Combine with CC points and you can get an even higher return. You would have until 3/31 to use all the fuel points if you bought them now. Based on the price of gas right now that would be 4 35 gallon trips. We do it by filling DHs truck plus bringing gas cans with us to get to the 35 gallons. I've heard of other people bringing two cars to the pump.

The best deal is BB Swagbucks - that pays out at 7.5% + CC Rewards, but that is capped at $100/day. So, you would need 20 trips.
As an alternative to Target, you can also get an online BJs membership. I think it's only $10/year. BJ's has a discount for 4%. If you have a good CC rewards, then it may be worth it to compensate the $10 membership fee and the 1% less in discount.
Keep in mind, you don't have to use just one strategy. E.g., you could go to BB 4 or 6 times and use target or BJ's for the rest.
Just returned from Smith's (Krogers). I bought the last 2 happy guy GC yesterday (4X) and they haven't restocked. So just grabbed a $50 DGC but only 2X points. Points are points. Use AmEx Blue Card for 6% (grocery) reward. It all adds up.Do you have Kroger or an affiliate near you? They are running 4x fuel points on gift cards through 2/19.

Thanks so much for taking the time to type all that out. As of now, its looking like I will do some BB (when I am in the area) and some Target.
