I was wondering if there is a list somewhere what the best "deal" is at mypoints for turning in points?

Just a quick look around the spend points made it clear that might be good and better deals:
$10 Starbucks gc = 1350 points
$10 Target gd = 1500 points

Does a list of all gc's and point values exist?

Thanks!

Here is the quick list by partner...

I usually go for a GC at one of the majors...WM, KMart, Target, ToysRUS...or if it's getting close to the Holidays...a restaurant card for gift giving...but then, the closest Starbucks to me is 32 miles away... tongue.gif

Very interesting...it doesn't list all of the offers!! The Starbucks $10 for 1350 is not listed in the 1251-2750 range...I wonder if there are others missing?

I never noticed this compilation though - thank you!

That's why I seldom look at the point range listing, mostly at the partners' listing... for 800 points you can get $5 GCs to KMart or TRU... tongue.gif

The best lowest points to gc value ratio used to be Macy's @ 5500 points/$50 gc. It is now 5750/$50 gc and might still be tied for lowest ratio. I have so many of those from Mypoints and friends that I am now getting the circuit city gc's at 6500/$50 even though the "value" isn't as good.

I always go for the $25 Barnes and Noble card. I geuss its only a good deal if you have interest in books but this is what I do:
I get the $25 Barnes and Noble card....its 500 points less than most of the other $25 cards then I search for a coupon code for their website. I usually find one for $5 off $25 and if you spend $25 you get free shipping then I go back to my points and go to the stores site through there so that I earn my points. I always check the clearance books first....the coupons are usually good on clearance and the free shipping still applies. I also have a barnes and noble membership so I get an additional 10% off as well. Keep in mind when using the discounts though that your check out total has to be $25 if the coupon is for $5 off $25 or a certain percentage off $25. I know that but I always forget and end up going back to find more once I get to the check out tongue.gif blushing.gif

Hope that helps you biggrin.gif
