3 Never Used Bank Cards Expiring Next Month - How to Make The Most out of Them on "New Customer" Bonuses?

Blue Cat on 15/04/2021 - 22:10

Firstly, please don't ask why I have so many bank cards, it is a long story.

Anyway, I have 3 bank cards that have the expiration date of 5/21 and only realized it now, so I am thinking how can I… optimize my abilities to buy something with them.

So far, I have found that these "new customer" opportunities that I am planning to use:

  • (Worst case scenario if I don't find anything better) Amazon $10 discount on first purchase through the app ($39 minimum spend) - planning to buy some Switch games: Skyrim and Minecraft probably
  • AliExpress new customer $3.00 off ($4.00 minimum spend) coupon seems to be still running - no idea what yet, probably some cables or something
  • YouTube Premium trial so I can watch YouTube without ads on Switch since there is no adblock. Too bad I can only make it 1 month.

If I remember correctly, I think there is a wiki page on OzBargain about "new customer" bonuses, but I can't seem to find it… or maybe I was dreaming.

Looked into ebay, but didn't find new customer opportunities… anything else you guys recommend?

Thanks.

    Bank Cards

    Don't you mean credit cards? not ATM cards?

      Nah they are bank/debit cards, can withdraw my money from them at the ATM. I don't think there is much difference in this case as anwyhere where they ask for a credit card you enter your debit card and it is fine.

        But your credit card number doesn't change when you get a new card…. Just an updated expiry date….

    All the options you listed are fully dependent on your email address, not a debit card number

      100% doesn't work on AliExpress to just change your email address, I tried it.

      Are you sure Amazon only cares about email addresses? This way everyone would be adding a $10 discount to their every purchase!

        change your email

        Change, or create a brand new account?

        Assuming it's a coupon then it should be accepted by the cart before any payment details are added - therefore it only depends on your new account's email address being unique to prove it's a different account.

        Are you sure Amazon only cares about email addresses?

        Again, it's the account that is linked to the email that's got to be unique, but I'm willing to consider they're also tracking phone MAC addresses, IPs etc etc. If the discount shows up in the cart BEFORE the payment method is added, then I'm correct.

        Besides, you're the one with all these cards - you do the experiments comparing new accounts vs. new cards and let us know!!

          You don't get $10, they discount the item by $10

    Just put the card numbers here and I'll find you the best rewards.
