Spiegel is having a pretty good sale right now on their gift cards. You could give the gift cards and your recipient would never know you paid less than face value for them. Since you go through the regular checkout you will also get a rebate if you shop through Mr. Rebates.
Any card $150 or more is 25% off. Any card $100 or less is 20% off. They offer the cards in denominations of $50, plus a $25 and $75 card is available. Mr. Rebates offers an additional 3% back.
That’s the “single” dip. You can easily turn this into a triple play. If you purchase a gift card for yourself then you can use that card on sale products. Plus you can use the coupon code 224 to get an additional 15% off your items. Does that sound confusing? Here is a step by step guide 🙂
STEP ONE: Start at Mr. Rebates and use their link into Spiegel. Purchase the gift card that you want. You will get the gift card at a discount plus a 3% rebate from Mr. Rebates.
STEP TWO: Wait for your gift card code and then go back to Mr. Rebates to use their link into Spiegel. Choose what you want.
STEP THREE: Search for “pulse point oil”. It is a $10 item that you will get for free with a $50 purchase. Use the coupon code 224 to get an additional 15% off your purchase.
STEP FOUR: Checkout using your gift card to pay. Since a gift card is considered cash you should get a rebate on the entire amount, but that isn’t always true. If you do then you will get an additional 3% back on the purchase.
My Scenario:
Cuisinart Custom 14 Cup Food Processor $199 (on sale from $320)
Linen Coat $14.99 (on sale from $49.99)
Pulse Point Oil FREE ($10 value, free with $50 purchase)
Cost $213.99 ($201.88 after coupon and shipping)
***I should get $6.06 back via Mr. Rebates
Use the $200 Gift Card (on sale for $150)
***I will get $4.50 back via Mr. Rebates for buying the gift card
=Spend $150 on the gift card and $1.88 on the second transaction = $151.88. I will get $10.56 back via rebates for a total cost of $141.32 (for $379.99 in items!)
