May 2021 Extra Credit Questions

For anyone who stayed up past midnight EST to see the new offers....

Were there any for over $5?   I see there are several $5 offers still there at 6 a.m. EST.

Were there eight offers in each section as there has been in the past?   I am seeing six and two empty spaces at this time.  

I stopped staying up to midnight after several months of $5 offers only.  Just curious to see if it would have been worth losing a good night's sleep.....babysitting today, so need my strength, lol.

I was able to get the $5 Amazon for the hefty price of 20K points.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, shortly after midnight EST there were only six offers for each of the 3 Extra Credit "lessons." Within each "lesson," four of those six were 20%-off Gift Cards, and the other two were $5 Points-Only GC's. Very disappointing that for the 3rd month in a row, all of the Extra Credit Points-Only deals are for a measly $5.

 

The best thing about this month's Extra Credit offers is that all of the $5 Points-Only GC's are for MEMBERS ONLY. Hopefully this signals a change toward having non-members excluded from snatching Points-Only deals.

@garyfish49 Yes, that is a good trend with Members Only.   

@KennethR776014   I am afraid the  "fix" for the higher cost of the $5 cards would be to have the high cost at all times as long as people are redeeming them.   I'll consider it a bargain if I find them for less.   I did redeem for the $5 Amazon as it will pay for one of my Kindle books.

Yes I was happy see were 'Members Only'

But sad that offers were even more costly than they've been lately 🤢👎 As much as I want Amazon cards not willing pay that many points... since I do just enough to keep steady total of 40,000 -65,000 points not worth getting it nor any of other extra credit offers... Amazon got sold out at that steeper price sure hope doesn't become a trend and can get another later for 12,500 points again 🤔

Grateful to share did get 2 cards in April : Walmart  & Amazon $5 so got $10 worth missed out last month (March)  I've not redeemed 3 in any month since they set to 1 of each 

Still wondering as asked on another thread if could get 2 from same company when offered twice a month??... may have just do Krispy Kreme two times to find out since haven't ever seen 2 Amazon or Walmart offers 

Have a beautiful one!

It seems like $5.00 gift cards are the new norm.  It is frustrating to pay 20,000 pts for a $5 gift card then later have the same one available for $10.00 and only $15,000 pts.

Are all the rewards for points posted after midnight the night before the 1st of the month, i.e. May 1? I can recall checking at 8:00 am CST and they still were not posted in the past.  It this something new?

I looked at the extra credit rewards at midnight.  I only saw $5 rewards for points only.  I don’t remember how many rewards in each group but I think there were six in each…not sure though.
