Reader M has given a heads up that VanillaGift.com is now charging a $6.95 purchase fee on denominations of $300+, up from $5.95.
It’s sadly not just Vanilla Gift that’s affected though – it appears to be all sites run by Incomm. That means it’s affecting purchases from TheGiftCardShop.com, as well as Mastercard gift cards from MastercardGiftCard.com and American Express gift cards from AmexGiftCard.com.
These sites sometimes offer promo codes waiving purchase fees, so if you only ever order during those promos then this change won’t affect you. It’ll be disappointing though for people who more frequently order Visa, Mastercard and Amex gift cards from Incomm-run sites.
Haven’t been able to get an order through any of those sites in over a year anyway…
