shop on Amazon.com a lot? Enrolled in Bank of America’s Keep the Change program (and still in the first 3 months where they match 100%)?
Well, I did this a bunch of times to rack up some cash in BoA’s Keep the Change program since I shop on Amazon a lot.
Basically, the minimum gift certificate purchase amount on Amazon.com is $5. If you buy a gc for $5.01 with Bank of America’s Keep the Change program you get $0.99 cents back, so the gc is essentially costing you $4.02.
You buy the gift certificates and send them to yourself and just add them to your gift card balance. I think you have about 18 months before the gc expires, which is plenty of time for me. I bought about $75 worth of gift cards a couple months ago and currently have about $25 worth of them left.

Just don’t buy the personal massager because it only lasts for about 3 uses. Well…maybe thats just because I submerged it under water. It said that it was waterproof…piece of $hit. I bet you got one! Is it really worth the $15 to have $75 worth of useless amazon.com crap? You can save so much more money by simply going out to the store and buying the stuff you need. Amazon charges the same prices as target or walmart but the difference is that you don’t need to pay for shipping. Why not, instead of buying a personal massager, go get a Oral B Pulsar which has 2 uses. Actually only one use for you since you don’t want to risk getting mouth herpes.

Let me add that the only reason i bought it was because I had $25 in gift credit from coinstar.

I enrolled in BoA’s keep the Change. It was kind of crappy. I tried to buy things that were 99 cents but I ended up with a lot of useless stuff. It is too hard to keep track of the price of everything you buy to add up to a low .xx number

I like your idea, and I wish I thought of it when I was enrolled. Oh well, I suppose I could convince my husband to sign up for it with his CD account…can you use those?
