<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2895241, member: 27832&quot;]Yep. Funny thing, though -- about the time eBay made the ridiculous decision to stop accepting gift cards in the Coins categories, Kroger stopped stocking anything but the $25 denomination of eBay gift cards. And you can only use up to 8 cards/codes on one transaction.</p><p><br /></p><p>The last time I took advantage of the gift-card/fuel-point path was to buy a $200 piece of electronic test equipment. I still have a couple of $25 cards, but it&#039;ll probably take me years to use them up.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other funny thing? If someone <i>did</i> want to launder money and/or rack up fuel points, they could just open up an eBay Store and sell the same <i>tablet</i> over and over again, to themselves. That category has 4% FVFs.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, assuming you can buy gas 20 gallons at a time:</p><p><br /></p><p>fuel discount = $20 per tankful</p><p>eBay store fee = $20/month (with yearly subscription)</p><p>You use 1000 fuel points per fillup, corresponding to $500 of gift cards (normal) or $250 of gift cards (during 4x promotions).</p><p><br /></p><p>As long as you can get the 4x promotion, your first $500 &quot;wash&quot; (through two fillups) will cover your eBay store fee and FVF. After that, every $250 gets you another $20 discount on a tankful, at the cost of $10 FVF.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;ve got a bigger gas tank, you can do better, up to 35 gallons/$35 per 1000 fuel points. But, really, wouldn&#039;t you save more money by getting a vehicle that doesn&#039;t guzzle so much gas? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
