Anyone use the new Ibotta pay feature? I see 3% on bbb I was thinking could stack with the Amex deal but I’ve never used it.
 




I used mcgc just this week to send payments via Plastiq and found it better to enter the cards into my masterpass account first. I had trouble at first getting Plastiq to charge only 1%. But I entered the mcgc into masterpass, let it sit there for a day, then next day used it to make my payment on Plastiq. Then it worked. For some reason it wouldn’t work without all the extra steps. So if you have trouble, you might try this.
 
Get the app (using a Dischurner link, of course). Set up your account. Add your credit cards to the app. For in-store offers, you just shop at the places listed in the app with the card(s) you have added. That's pretty much it. You don't have to link offers like ebates/RMN. Some offers have limits like $5 per day with Staples. There are also online offers if you shop through the app.
Ok that sounds so easy--why on earth have I not done it yet?? I think this will be my "new thing to try" for this week :thanks:

Haven't used it but my understanding of it is it's like the MPX app where you are just buying an instant GC to that store. (Fetch Rewards put out a similar service called Fetch Pay recently too.) So not sure how that would code for the AmEx offer. The MPX app goes through phases where the store category info is passed through and you get category bonus earnings on it, and then it won't. Based on this iBotta help page -https://help.ibotta.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022329673-Help-I-have-an-unauthorized-charge-on-my-debit-or-credit-card-from-Ibotta-
- it looks like it would go through how PayPal does and most times (if not all) that won't trigger an AmEx offer since it's not the same merchant. (Merchant is PayPal, or in this case iBotta, and not BBB)
It'd be big if it did work but on the surface seems like maybe not.

FWIW, I always load my MCGCs into Masterpass first, then add them from the Masterpass wallet to my Plastiq account. I don't do any waiting between adding them to Masterpass and adding them to Plastiq. It's a little tedious, but it works well for me.
 
Check the fine print on the back of the MCGC packaging. It should say the card is issued by MetaBank. I've purchased MCGCs from Staples before, and they've been MetaBanks.

Decided since it's CIP that I'd go to Fred's because at least then at least I'll get fuel points.
