SBS - How many cards did you register?

[noturbizniss]

How do you know the # before you have the card?

FYI, for those who have ordered  AU's that haven't arrived yet, you can still register the cards for SBS. Log into your account, select the primary account and go to Profile > Card Management. There should be a link there that says Replacement Card Status. There you'll see the last 5 digits of any AU's you've ordered. The first 10 digits are the same as the primary card on the account. Now that you have the full cc number of the AU, you can just register it for SBS as usual.

you can also look on the statement page on the drop down menu showing other cards. They show up a few days after you apply for more AU

Well, I can finally submit my vote. 10 cards in. This is my first year of SBS and I'm going really slow with it (as you can see). I didn't add any AUs special for the occasion. I plan on now placing an order with that restaurant gift certificate website. That's all, nothing too crazy here.

$300 is not too shabby

True true. I got my GC order to cap out nicely at $301.
Got:
$300 to Talia's
$75 to Eden Wok
$15 to Pitopia

Doesn't LivingSocial/Groupon have offers to Talia's all the time? Is it worth putting most of the money there?

ETA: Did you mean $200 to Talia's?

he might have meant $200, but even so, the Living Social Groupon deal never works for Shabbos, and CMIIW, but it appears that the GC deal is good anytime, unrestricted.

I will never go to Talia's again. I went twice, both times the food and service was abysmal. Once we went 3 days after buying restaurant.com gift certificate and they wouldn't let us order like half the things on the menu. Then my wife's soup was cold and we had to send it back twice. Then the steak was so overdone as to be inedible.

$300. The website gives discount on the GCs. Every $50 at Talia's was $40. Every $25 at Eden Wok was $17 and $15 at Pitopia was $10.

They had very few restaurants in the city and Talia's was the nicest I heard of.

Worst case? I wasted free money.
