ShopRite Gift Card Catalina

Just a reminder, the Gift Card Catalina deal at ShopRite is going on through Saturday, 7/28.

The deal is,  buy $50 in Visa, MasterCard, iTunes or Marriott Gift Cards and get a $10 Catalina.  There is an activation fee on the Visa & MasterCard gift cards which usually run around $4.95 – $5.95 which still make this a $4 – $5 Money Maker.  And, you can usually use the gift card, which is really just a Visa or MasterCard Debit Card, to pay for your next Card.  Of course each time you will need to pay your activation fee but you will score a $10 catalina.

Here is how the deal works:

Transaction #1:
Buy 1 Visa Gift Card $50

Activation Fee: $4.95 – $5.95
Pay: as low as $54.95
Get a $10 Catalina

Transaction #2:
Buy 1 Visa Gift Card $50
Activation Fee: $4.95 – $5.95
use $50 Visa Card from transaction #1
Pay: as low as $4.95
Get a $10 Catalina

If your store will not allow you to use your gift card to pay for the second one, then you will have to just do them in separate transactions.  Remember, use your gift card as you would use your cash, to pay bills, buy groceries, gas, etc.  So, it’s really not money out of your pocket, you are just converting it into a gift card, paying $4.95 to activate it and receiving a $10 catalina in return for a profit of around $5 (depending on the activation fee).

Catalinas are good to use between 7/29 – 8/11.
