Hi guys,
For those wanting to take advantage of the shop small promo in US, I have found a merchant that may be useful for some. I have tried and tested it and can confirm it works.
The merchant name is Fluz, they typically provide cashbacks on purchase routed through them, same as
cashrewards and shopback. Just download the app and sign-up, its free.
One of the merchants they work with is Starbucks, and you are able to buy SB GC’s. Starbucks giftcard purchased in US can be used at stores in Australia. Make sure you download the US version app, as the Australian app doesn’t allow you to use US$ denominated eGiftcards. You will also need to be on the VPN, to download the app and set up the account.
Once done, simply enter your GC code on the app and you are set. Next time you buy your coffee, scan the barcode on your app to pay. Make sure you purchase the $10 GC to get $5 back. The amount on your app is stored in US$, so it deducts an equivalent amount when you pay in A$. Now, granted coffee at SB is overpriced and not the best, but the $5 back makes it a lot more drinkable
One unique aspect of US Shop small campaign is that unlike Aus, you can use it 10x at the same merchant and you will receive $5 back each time.
Lastly, when you sign-up with Fluz using a referral link, you will get up to 35% back on your first 3 purchases. That means $10 cashback on 3 $10 GC, which you can use to buy another $10 GC, which is such a good deal. If you wish to use my referral link, its POINTSHQ and I earn 1 voucher too.
US cards are not cheap and we all spend extra money each time we pay our monthly statements, so a hack like this will hopefully offset some of that extra cost. Reach out if you have any questions.
