By the way, I think that the following works - if you buy a gift card from best buy, and then use it to make a purchase through UR Mall, you still get the UR Mall bonus points.
Take it a step further. Buy the BestBuy GC through UR Mall and see if you get the points.

And then use that GC to buy a BB GC  :)

I'm afraid you missed the point.  He's saying you can use any cc to purchase the gc and then you will still get bonus points even though you used a different cc to buy your stuff.

If I missed the point, you missed the forest through the trees. See Bubbles post. You need to think outside the box!!!

I just did that. I bought a bb gc with a bb gc through UR mall.
Problem is, after I entered the gc it showed "order total $0.00".
so I doubt I will be getting any points for that - besides for data points  ;)

Please read my above post. Thinking too much isn't always that good.

Dunno. I tried it, figuring it probably wouldn't work, but that it was worth a try. Then I got 300 extra points on my next cc bill. Coud've been from something else, but not sure what, and my purchase was $30.

Let us know when you get your next cc bill, please? Although if it didn't work, buying a product with a gc might still work. But if it DID work...wow! ;D ;D ;D

Why do u think that would make a difference?  (It would still show up "order total $0")

I'm gonna guess that you resell them?
. . . Which leads me to my next question which is totally OT, Why do people buy them on eBay at a higher price then they cost in the store??
Yes, I actually bought them to sell them. I sold them all to a guy in Europe.

Prob the reason for that the pricing is higher in ebay, cuz they are being shipped international. On apple - they only ship it to a few countries... so on ebay thats why the price is higher

Getting back on topic -

I wanna know whats the value the UR points (I have an offer of 1.55 cpp)

Bonus reward thru the UR shopping portal take 6-8 weeks to post, so you will only know if it works in a few weeks.

Regarding buying UR points, I just sold a whole bunch for 1.6cpm (but i sold over 70kpoints, i think he gives less if its only 30k-40k)
It is all from Hashem and he will continue to give!

So far for most of my UR purchases - I got an email about 1-2 weeks after the purchase confirming that I am getting a bonus, and they posted when the months points all posted

Chase confiscated many thousands of UR from my relative when they closed his account. They gave a check equal to 1 cent pp. I'm toying with the idea of going to small claims and asking for the real value of the points.
Any thoughts?

Personally, I don't think you have much of a case, unfortunately :(

Absolutely go for it!!!
They established a price for the points, I think small claims will see they are trying to rip you off by charging people 2.5 cents and then only paying one cent if they decide they no longer want you as a customer.

Plus if they don't show up you'll win by default.

Here's the screenshot.

Their terms and conditions. My brother was also AA'd by Chase and he got 1cpm. Don't think you have much of a leg to stand on with regard to the claim. FWIU, they were being nice by even giving 1cpm.

Their game, their rules. Just how it works.
