Hot Deals - General

Visible now only issues retailer specific gift cards; prepaid MasterCards don't seem to be an option anymore.

THAT is a great point.
It appears that they do still offer Amazon, Target & Home Depot, Lowe's cards.
For some may be no use but many others may consider them as good as cash (or prepaid MC) or maybe have a friend, family member who could use them.

I saw the prepaid mastercard about a week ago. unless it has gone again it seems like they added it back.

no tello doesn't count

If you have more than $10K to save for I-Bonds, you can buy some as gifts to friends/family after meeting your own $10K electronic limit. Just go to Add Registration and put in their info and mark GIFT, so your addl purchases goes into a GIFT BOX which you can gift LATER. When gifted, it would add to their annual limit for THAT YEAR, so verify first before gifting.

So, $10K for you, $10K for spouse, $10K per kid. Any additional you have sitting around in savings or CDs (highest 5 year CD I've seen is 3.5%, I-Bond earns 9.62% for the next 6 month and then is adjusted based on inflation), buy as GIFT and gift is next year or later (hold min 1 yr but best at least 5 yr or else you forfeit 3 mo interest). I would probably suggest buying in $5K per bond.

Not much time left but am posting because I just did this deal only realized now how good it was. On Amazon.com, the Amazon Fire TV Stick with Alexa remote (not the 4k version) has a sales price of $16.99. However if you have an old one to trade in, you get 20% off the non-discounted price of $39.99 (i.e. $8.00 off), plus a $3 Amazon gift card that can be used right away.

When I just bought this with a trade in of my 2nd gen stick that didn't have a remote, I wound up paying $6.53 with taxes. ($16.99 - $8.00 trade-in coupon + $.54 tax - $3.00 GC)

Pixel 6a with free pixel a buds $449

Enhanced trade in iphones and pixels
eg iphone 7 $300 iphone se 2020 $285 pixel 3a $300 etc.

If you don't have something to trade you could purchase a 3a from ebay for $75 ish.

Net cost $450-$300+75= $225 plus tax.

I find the trade-in options to be very curious. Only the 256gb version of the iPhone 7 can be traded in for the max $300 value. There are not options for lesser value if you have an iPhone 7 with less storage. But for the iPhone 6, as long as it powers up, you can trade one in with any storage value for $100, even if it has a cracked screen. The 6s and 6 Plus are also options for another ~$10 more, but the 6s Plus isn't an option.

I'm thinking about this with an iPhone 6 that I have - it's locked to Cricket and needs another 92 days to unlock, plus it has a mild case of incurable touch disease where the a space running vertically from about an inch to the left edge is unresponsive to touch.

I'd just buy a 3a and save yourself an extra $125 ish.

I've got a brand new (open box) 3a I never activated. Got it a few years ago in a deal like this when a nephew offered his "on it's last legs" iphone to me for free to trade in.

What say the deal gurus here, should I use it or trade it in this deal?
