American Express Checkout

[David R]

I just did one last night... I think too many people requesting for the all their gc be combined into one big sum.

I ordered a $10 gift card from Sabon this morning and then used it to pay for half of a $20 card. No need for me to contact them to combine anything. Part of the post is crossed out probably only because you can't buy $11 gift cards anymore, not because you can't buy gift cards with gift cards.

FYI everyone... (this was mentioned upthread I believe but) I confirmed with Sabon... Anyone who was charged tax on giftcards should contact them and they WILL get a refund. They told me it was a glitch. So let the emails begin... Include your order number.

If your credit card was only charged for tax [for example if you paid the rest with gift card(s)], you probably don't want to contact them.

Is it possible to buy a $20 saboon gc and split the payment with CC and $10 gc?

yes

[aryeh1]

yes

So then that's a good work around even though they are out of $10 gc?

If one has GC's which they have already received.

The game codes have certain limits on how many you can buy in a 48 hour window. Exceed the limit and your order gets cancelled

What is the limit?  Also what about opening a new acct?

I believe it is two in 48 hours.

Could be it is each code type.

Could be it is each code type.

That could be it. I ordered 8 codes two nights ago, but just got one or two of each 49 cent code.

On the product page of each game code it will say the limit. Some have limit 5 some have 2. Just look before you buy

Anyone had the error message from Newegg where it says your state and zip code information is mismatching and so they can't process the order via Express Checkout?  I've double checked my card, and the address is correct.

Is this a good idea for someone who doesn't have Amex cards (or used them all up already), just to get the NE $10 GC? Are you essentially getting a $10 GC for $3? 70% discount sounds pretty good. I'm not sure if I have the math right.

[Shkop]

since the $10 gc are gone on Sabon I am doing the $20 gc and using a $10 gc
and charging amex the other $10.

The issue is that when I purchased the $10 gc's I received 1 point per $10 spend.
After I purchased 9 gc's, the 10th was only 1 dollar. (1 dollar per point. must spend $10 for a point)

Now, I purchased $20 gc yet it has not accumulated any points???
anyone have this? know why?

Yes, but don't forget to include the postage stamp in your calculation.

I checked my order history and 3 of the $20 gc's show completed yet it shows:
"You don't currently have any points to spend."

I asked newegg if there is anyway around the 48 hour window... This was their response..

'You may have to use a different payment method & shipping address.'
