Earning Bonus Points and Other Stacking Options
Here’s what I’d do: go to a shopping portal such as Rakuten or TopCashback. Search for “Newegg” and go from there. They generally don’t award cashback for gift card purchases, but speaking from experience, stranger things have happened.
Once you get to Newegg, search for “carnival $500.” That should get you to the page.
Which credit card should you use to pay? If you’re trying to knock out minimum spending requirements (maybe those Delta SkyMiles® American Express limited-time offers or the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card offer that just dropped), go for that.
But here’s some food for thought.
Newegg purchases generally code as “U.S. electronic goods retailers” for American Express. Keep that in mind if you hold something like The Business Platinum Card® from American Express or American Express® Business Gold Card.
The Amex Business Platinum earns 1.5X points on eligible purchases at electronic goods retailers. Meanwhile, the Amex Business Gold Card earns 4X Membership Rewards points on the two (2) eligible categories on which your business spends the most each billing cycle, on up to $150,000 in combined purchases from these categories each calendar year (then 1X thereafter). One of them is U.S. electronic goods retailers. So, if you spend a pretty penny on Carnival gift cards through Newegg, you might earn a chunk of points.
Happy shopping, earning, and sailing!
