Update 3: I tried buying these Ikea gift cards again today and the order went through with no issue. If you were getting error messages yesterday about payments being declined or not processed, try again today and you’ll hopefully have more success.
Update 2: This deal is back, but it seems like many of us are having issues with having payments processed. Their systems are probably getting slammed, so hopefully this becomes less of an issue as the week goes on provided they don’t pull the deal early.
Update 7/10/23: It looks like they might’ve pulled this deal early. It had been glitching out this morning though, so hopefully it’ll be back, but don’t buy if you don’t see the bonus gift cards in your cart.

Tips & Ideas
Although the banner for the offer references $80 Ikea gift cards, you don’t have to buy $80 denominations. Instead, you can buy any mix of denominations and will get $20 Ikea gift cards for every $80 you spend. For example, you could buy a $100 gift card and a $60 gift card to get two $20 bonus gift cards. Maxing this out would involve buying $800 worth of gift cards to get 10x $20 bonus gift cards free.
Note that the $20 gift cards appear to be regular gift cards rather than bonus cards that expire. That means that you can resell all the cards you get if you want.
This deal is due to last until July 16. I can see this deal getting hammered and them pulling it earlier than that, so it’d be best not to procrastinate with buying if you’re interested. Having said that, I don’t remember seeing CashStar deals get pulled when there hasn’t been an explicit limit of how many overall redemptions there can be.
Getting a purchase error:

Seems like they are declining all transactions 🙁
I want to buy one $800 gift card to receive the ten $20 bonus cards. Will this work?
It looks like this offer has officially ended, but I think it would have. To test this out on future deals, you could add an $800 card to your cart and see if it also adds the 10x $20 cards to your cart too.
