I think there's a thread at deal discussion on dealpass but don't think the links are valid anymore and most were 30-day trial. The link below gives you a free one year membership. Hurry, this probably won't last too long. All dealpass link dies pretty quickly even the 30-day trial ones.

Click Here to Sign Up For Today's Escapes


Click on "Click Here" to sign up. After you sign up, it will tell you that "The Giftcard Club" is not available but will give you a free year of "Today's Escapes".

After you sign up, you can either wait for an email from them to give you the membership id number OR call 877-820-6329, press option 2, option 2 again to dial in your phone number. It should give you your membership ID. Once you have your membership ID, go to http://www.dealpass.com and login with your membership id and zip code.

You buy the giftcards in full price (at nomination of $25) and they will credit you back 20% to your credit card at beginning of next month. There is a limit of $500 (20 GCs) per retailer per year. Gas cards are limited to $125 (5 GCs) per month.

Am I doing this correctly, they are asking for credit card information to which $1 fee will be charged.
jambali
I don't remember the screen after the initial screen so not sure if they charge you $1 for the whole year or totally free. But $1 is not a big deal compare to how much you save.

To activate your trial membership you will be charged a $1.00 non-refundable processing fee and you can immediately take advantage of the great savings The Gift Card Club has to offer! After 30 days, The Gift Card Club is just $14.95 for a full month of savings, automatically charged to the credit card you use today. Remember, you can call us toll-free at 1-877-820-6329 within the first 30 days to cancel, and you will not be charged the monthly fee. To ensure continuous service, your membership will be renewed and charged each month at our then-current membership fee. There’s a flat $1.00 shipping and handling charge per gift card order — no matter how many gift cards you order at a time. Remember, The Gift Card Club comes with our guarantee — you can call to cancel at any time and you will no longer be billed.


I would rather not agree to what above. Hate to have this company get The Gift Card Cub operational and than start billing my CC. Then I would have to fight the $14.95 charge and not know for how long and often?
jambali
take a look at the confirmation message posted by mansa. They will not charge your cc. I have been a dealpass member for a number of years and probably quite a few members here as well. Yeah they do have bad reputations on the internet but that's because people who compained about them don't know the program well and don't take advantage of the benefits. YMMV obviously depending on whether or not you will take full advantage of the benefits.

FWscan just informed me that it has been posted on FW!!!! This will definitely go by fast... damn it, i dont have a cc yet to get in on this deal. hurry up if you want to get in.

ok borrowed my brothers creditcard, does anyone know how long it takes to get the email from them?

NVM called the # and got my memberid instantly!
jambali
again don't need to wait for their email. Just call them with the phone number in the OP if you want to order GCs. Hot GCs like Amazon may go out of stock quick although they normally come back in a couple of weeks.

1-year free membership! This is great. Thanks OP!
jambali
I also want to add that if you are concerned about forgetting to cancel, max out your GCs in one shot and then cancel after you see the 20% credit. For me I will keep it for a year since I will take advantage of gas cards every month. Will probably note in my calendar to cancel in a year before it's renewed though.
corrad
stupid question: do you have to use the same credit card that was originally entered for Today's Escape account to purchase the gift cards?
jambali
great question. No you can use different credit cards to order then the one you sign up with. Beware of using a single use cc though. I've heard that some people got blacklisted due to that. I guess if you don't plan to use dealpass anymore it probably doesn't matter.

After I signed up for the health plan, when I try to log in on dealpass.com; my membership for today's escapes is not to be seen ; I can only see the health plan membership. Anybody face this problem too ?

hmm not sure what you mean. After you login to dealpass, it should redirect you to www.todaysescapes.com

did you sign up for pharmacygoldcard also? If yes you probably put in the wrong membership id when you login. If you don't have the email from today's escapes already, call the phone number and get the membership id again.

Can you elaborate on what you mean a singal use CC?
jambali
well if you have a citibank credit card, you can generate a single use credit card number with limit and expiration date. Some people do that to prevent them from charging for renewal fee in case they forget to cancel when the year is up.

Anybody have experience with the complimentary magazine subscription? Is it one year?
Cirrus
Thanks OP! Signed up and I'm gonna go buy some gas cards...20% off is quite a bit when gas is $3 a gallon!
jambali
probably 1 year. I didn't even notice it until someone mentioned it here. Might pick up us news & world report although I rarely read magazine but since it's free I am obligated to order 1 in the spirit of B$.

dasnufus
thank you jambali!!! Just signed up..

Where is the complementary magazine sub?
jambali
it's under travel planning. That's why I missed it the because there's nothing interesting there except the free magazine.

*edit*
oops I guess I lied. Gas cards and borders and Barnes and nobles are also there. But my eyes were attracted to only gas cards there and didn't pay attention to the other items there.

Looks like there's a big hot deals thread on fw now. With the combination of B$ and FW$ sign up I think DealPass can declare that their newly announce but not yet available "The Giftcard Club" is a major success.

Credit to: khorne55 in FW for finding the motherload!

I'm the OP over in FW and the quick summary gets updated quite often with active links. There's a similar thread here in B$ by a different OP so I didn't want to steal the thread.

I'd be glad keep one updated here in B$, but without the quick summary page that everyone can edit, it is especially hard to keep links active easily.

This deal is totally legit. Read carefully and beware of this company since they are expert in the telemarketing game.
jambali
Thanks montreid. Great thread you have there.

Thanks jambali, I'm in!
montreid
Thanks. It's a group effort. A lot of different people contribute the links. I just keep things tidy. biggrin.gif

1. I wouldn't recommend using single use cards, even on this free membership. It runs the risk of blacklisting by dealpass, and that's a HUGE loss for future savings.

2. Mags for me range from 6months - 1 year from the various dealpass programs. They take about 6 weeks to get the first mag.

3. Keep an eye out for this new program 'the gift card club'. It really sounds like a winner if it goes through. Today's Escapes (TE) is a VERY GOOD PROGRAM since it has a recurring 5 card limit of gas cards every month. It used to be 20 cards each of shell, sunoco and speedway back when TE first started, but that got deep sixed in the first month of TE and adjusted to today's limit.
