Perk Plastik?

jlee05 » Tue Apr 18, 2017 1:41 pm

I am pretty new to making money with smartphones and computers and Paypal is usually my preferred method of payment because I can use it for whatever I want. But it seems you get more for your points with the Perk Plastik card. Does anyone redeem their points this way? I would appreciate any feedback! Thanks! :)

I also get gift cards. I just looked up the conversation rate. It was higher i think 1400 for a $1. Looks like now its 1100= $1. Much more reasonable, maybe I'll try it next time I redeem.

But its worth it to me to be able to use the money to pay some of my bills online. GC are nice, but sometimes I need more than just a little shopping money :lol: I might try the Perk Plastik at least once since it's a lower conversion rate than PayPal. If not I will probably go with the Wal-Mart GC since I can get gas and groceries with that and it won't take as long to get. :P Thanks for all the suggestions!

I use perk plastik and I love it. money hits card almost instantly, and like you say you can use it for pretty much every thing. I just wish it was a way to use it at atms for cash withdrawls

It's better when you accumulate more perk dollars and then cash out. Don't lose the money early and just be patient to cash out on Paypal or Amazon. You will get a better deal!

I guess so... I meant in general (PayPal), Perk is bad at it, but other apps have better deals for Paypal once you wait enough. Amazon is the best by far.

There is a break on the $50 amazon, I think it was 48,500 perk points instead of 50,000. I usually go Walmart though. Usless I want something specific on amazon.

I do not know. I only use the apps.

Thanks so much for the feedback on the Perk Plastic card! I'm really leaning towards that when I decide to cash out. I have enough to get it now but want to wait till I can put a lot on at one time. I just figured I would choose PayPal until I realized how much you lose by going cashing out thru them. The Perk Plastik card and Wal-Mart GCs will def be my main methods of cash out with Perk. Thanks again!

So true. Gas & groceries, people....Two things I have to budget for every week and I can always get both with a Wal-Mart GC. That will leave me extra cash from my regular paycheck for whatever else I might need it for, so it's basically just like getting cash. ;)

That's a good idea.

Does Walmart sell gas in your area? That would be awesome if I can find a walmart gas station!! I'm always at Walmart it feels like.
Thats right save the real money for utility bills!

ya I know people who use gift cards for gas only. and some time you can go to walmart and there will be people selling gifts cards if you buying gas and they will just double what ever you spend so they can get the cash. ie 20.00 dollar worth of gas for 10 bucks

I was able to get a sheetz gift card from Swagbucks but last time I looked they only had $100.00

girlwithglasses » Thu Apr 20, 2017 11:47 pm

Sheetz is a gas station with a fast food area inside, some locations have a drive thru!

Brayan » Thu Apr 20, 2017 11:48 pm

Why don't you guys just sell your gift cards and then receive a check? Don't you prefer cash? Or sell a gift card and then receive it in your paypal.

girlwithglasses » Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:17 am

I usually try to alternate Walmart and restaurant GC's because I don't like spending my money on restaurant prices. Cash is great but I don't want to figure out how to do that or loose money on it.

Actually yes. The 4 Wal-Marts closest to me all have gas stations that let you can use WalMart GC's to get gas. You even get a $0.03 discount for using WalMart GC's at the pump as payment. Y'all don't have that???

Also....I'm a she. ;)

In Southeast part of Georgia. We have one and cities on 3 sides of us have one attached to their Wal-Marts too.

jlee05 » Mon Apr 24, 2017 2:58 am

The name of them is Murphy USA, but they are all built into the Wal-Mart parking lots and will accept Wal-Mart GC's as payment at the pump. So either Wal-Mart owns them or they are in some kind of contract/business agreement with them.

Thank you for the info. I'm in NC, I'm going to have to look in to this. I live in a relatively small town, maybe in the big city (lol) I can find one. I have heard of Murphy USA.
