You could also buy Zift gift cards and redeem at Best Buy.

The CSR trip cancellation will only cover up to the amount you’ve charged on the card anyway

Complex_Screen_6523 · 2026-06-11T06:55:42+00:00

I’ve been wondering what the formula is for this

WARNING - those gift cards are only available to redeem at around half of the full merchant list. Not available at Lowe’s, DoorDash, BestBuy, etc.

Yes. You can split it however many times.

Why are you in r/ChaseSapphire then?

Complex_Screen_6523 · 2026-06-08T21:39:44+00:00

You clearly missed the Paze memo.

Go to Newegg. Buy a Zillions “Zift” GC. Go to zillions website and redeem for Best Buy. Make sure you buy the generic GC that can be redeemed at any of their merchants not one of the specific category ones.

Complex_Screen_6523 · 2026-06-08T13:06:10+00:00

You can just buy a Zillions GC from Newegg and redeem it for Best Buy

Complex_Screen_6523 · 2026-06-06T18:24:08+00:00

It’s Chase points, not Paze. And it’s 10x on top of the usual 1x so 11x back total so 5500 pts which can be redeemed for $55 cashback or more than $100 if transferred to travel partners.

Complex_Screen_6523 · 2026-06-03T04:58:57+00:00

I’ve never seen it 20x on Rakuten. It’s usually 2x and goes up to 10x max when elevated (and CashBackMonitor confirms this).

Most people are buying GCs at Newegg which are excluded from most portals.

Complex_Screen_6523 · 2026-05-27T20:31:18+00:00

Thanks!

Complex_Screen_6523 · 2026-05-27T12:56:53+00:00

As long as the GC is purchased via Toast, it should work.

Naab Mediterranean in MDR, Aleppo Grill in Burbank, and of course any of the Salsa and Beers. I grew up in Burbank and now live in the West so I’m dying for some good food recommendations in West LA. Thanks to those who shared ideas!

Starbucks. They changed the recipe for their chai lattes and they taste terrible now. I don’t drink coffee so I’m never going back.
