Tips & Ideas
Rejoice because there’s a profitable Mastercard gift card deal at Hy-Vee, but mourn because it’s (probably) not anywhere near as generous as it used to be.
In the past you’d get a $10 discount for every $150 you spent. That meant that if you bought $900 worth of Mastercard gift cards in one transaction, you’d get $60 off. Seeing as $900 could be made up of just two variable load Mastercard gift cards which had a $5.95 purchase fee each, you’d make $48.10 profit on each transaction (before any kind of liquidation fees); that’s not even taking into account the credit card rewards you’d earn.
That setup had been around for several years, but sadly the money tree was cut down last year and replaced with a sapling. That last deal was still slightly profitable, but they were now limiting it to one $10 discount per transaction. This was verified by Justin in Minnesota.
Having said all that, last year Hy-Vee listed the offer as being non-stackable and that there was a limit of $10 per transaction. That wording isn’t in the ad this year, so perhaps they’ve reverted back to the deals of old. It could be worth buying a $500 Mastercard gift card and seeing if you get $30 off rather than only $10.
