I think either 5X points or 5% cashback depending on which card.

Yeh but 5 off of 15 is 33% off so buy $15 gcs

I have the same question. I called my local right aid. manager said that if I buy a ride aid gift card, I can only pay in cash. So this deal is not really worthwhile.

can anyone validate?
Is buying gift cards visa or other store only cash?
Or ymmv?

I went ra hoping to buy a $45 gap gc with 3 amex's, but cashier and manager insisted that I couldn't split tender. Ended up buying 2 $25 with 2 cards.

So I guess that means only 20% off in RA

data point: for the offer: ebags.com spend $50 get back $10 expires 2/4
I bought 2 $50 GC on ebags with 2 diff AMex cards. called ebags CS (nice people, short hold) and they combined the amount onto 1 GC. I used it to buy $95 worth of bags. I got the 2 $10 Amex refunds.
So I spent $80 for 2 (supposedly ) leather hand bags.
[ebags sends 20% off for new signups. Sent 'special coupon' for $25 off $100 +. Not combine-able. my total was $95 or $96 depending on the coupon. so it seems they're always that % off.]

Was at another ra this morning to load my serve. Unfortunately, I didn't have my stack of Amex cards cuz the cashier told me that I could've done a split tender purchase. I'll have to try again tomorrow.
