Amazon.ca gift card. What’s the cheapest way to buy?
Somehow I thought Rakuten offers Amazon.ca gift card a discount, but they don’t. What’s the best way to buy Amazon gift card to maximize discount+rewards?

You know I have never bought anything from another user on RFD because I’m on the west coast. I will give it a try!danmartin471 wrote: ↑ RFD BST

Amazon.ca Rewards Mastercard pays as much as 2.5% at amazon.ca [but check that GCs qualify.]

The new Amazon.ca Rewards CC seems to have a pretty bad rep on RFD. Any reason for that?bylo wrote: ↑ Amazon.ca Rewards Mastercard pays as much as 2.5% at amazon.ca [but check that GCs qualify.]
Brim Mastercard pays 1% (basic) to 2% (WE) at amazon.ca [I can confirm this does include GCs.]

I’m on Brims website. Is 4% Amazon for WE mentioned somewhere?

I have the CIBC Dividend Visa card that pays 4% on groceries and that include gift cards bought at grocery stores.

The Brim card has a $199 annual fee. They're basically paying you with one hand and taking it back with the other because you have to spend $9950 on the card each year just to break even.bylo wrote: ↑ Amazon.ca Rewards Mastercard pays as much as 2.5% at amazon.ca [but check that GCs qualify.]

Edit to correct Brim's percentages.

No need to rush to any conclusions now. COVID-19 has cut back most peoples' travel plans for at least the rest of the year. Brim's main claim-to-fame is 0% FX and 1% cash back. So the people who got the WE on FYF probably won't be able to use it enough to justify $199/yr when it comes up for renewal. One can always hope that Brim sees the light next year and extends the FYF another year. But if they don't, a basic Brim card still get 2% cash back at Amazon and still gets 0% FX and 1% cash back.danmartin471 wrote: ↑ so effectively, a disposable card after the first year

Why didn't I think of this! Thanks for sharing! Partner has CT WE card, I guess I can use his to get 3% CT money for starter. Maybe applying for a Scotia Visa Infinite.LonesomeDove wrote: ↑ If you have a credit card that pay 4% on groceries, go to a supermarket that sell Amazon gift cards and buy one.
