Guru’s Wrap-up
Looks like a great promotion for large purchases. Just make sure you compare prices with other sites before buying. Not many merchants will earn 50% back in points. But Xbox gift cards can earn up to 27% back in points if you spend a total of $750, Dell will earn up to 30%, Lenovo up to 31%, eBags up to 35% etc. The points can be used for gift card purchases also.
