$10 to Uber eats, so basically it’s covering fees only.

Not only that, but usually to activate these cards, you have to spend upwards of double what the card is worth too, and the fees cannot be included in the total

Like amzn, they make sure you get minimum joy, even from a gift, because you're going to spend a chunk of mom's gift card balance on shipping. The "shipping included on sub total of X amount" is going to be cancelled by online retailers within a year, I'm calling it now. Are we sure that cheapstrike and amzn aren't run by the same AI, one that self awareness drove mad?
