Posted in another thread, but I think its important that people here know as well...

IMPORTANT!!!!!

Gift card registry gift cards - once used once at one store -the remaining balance on the card becomes a credit at that one store. The only way to avoid that is be getting multiple cards. Say you get a bunch of $30 gift cards.

If you then go spend $20 at one store, the remaining $10 is locked into that store..... etc etc etc.

Just went into npgs by James st (Lakewood) and manager told me there is a question whether that branch is going take part of SBS as they make too much revenue in sales to be considered a small businesses. Does that make sense?

If it's hat branch, then it's all branches.

What is npgs?

Anyone have this issue? On my bluebird acct under saved offers SBS doesnt show but I am 100% certain I registered the card..... Anyone?

Try to register again. It'll tell you if it was already registered.

may be a dumb question, but you basically have to keep checking out with purchases as close to $10 over and over?

Much easier would be to get a GC for that place.

The store could give you 1 gift certificate to be used in that store. (If that particular store offers that option)

[dealfinder85]

Lots of stores let.

If I use a card on SBS and then close it, will I still recieve the credit?

Just wait until the credit posts before closing it.

PSA- This year charities and non profits are excluded.

So even though people may want to give tzedaka, it likely wont work. Meaning, they will get the money, but you wont get the statement credit:

As per Amex SBS terms (from- https://freeads.americanexpress.com/merchant/faq#sect1_q5):
"Businesses in the following industries are excluded: government agencies, public administration, gas stations, businesses located on the same premises as gas stations, charities, non-profits[/u], trade associations, shopping property management companies, direct sellers, travel agents, and political organizations.

Someone, feel free to remove from wiki.
