UPDATE!
Kroger Online: Buy $300 Lowe’s Gift Card For $285 (Only 5% Discount – Not 10%) Direct Link
How disappointing. Big pass for us and we're doing major yard work too!
Whenever I buy big items, last time it was simply a couple of 5 gal paint drums, I go on ebay and buy instant delivery coupons for $40 off $200 (I don't recall the exact discounts - but they're pretty substantial). The coupons themselves are a few dollars but worth it to get $20 or $40 off. And as you mentioned, there also the 11% rebates going on too. I believe both of our local HD and Lowes does it, without telling you at register... whenever Menards has their 11% rebate, as a competitor thing. And Menards has had it continuously for months it seems.
RMN has Staples at 8% cash back for online orders as well for the next 3 days. Max $25 per transaction. Looks like their limit now per month per retailer is 7 transactions. To max out the Amex offer, I'm planning to do 2 transactions of the $300 Visa gc for $308.95.
For both transactions, total RMN cash back = $49.43
Amex offer 10% back on $500 max = $50
less gc fees = -$17.90
Total saved/earned = $81.53
Percent saved = 13.59% (does not include value of points earned on my Bonvoy Amex Biz)
I haven't done one of these in a while on RMN. Hope it tracks!

I purchased a Disney card from shop Disney when they were 12% back over Memorial Day and that one is tracking. I purchased some from Sam's Club as well when they were 4% and those are tracking as well. Nothing's paid yet, but signs are looking good.Quoting myself here from an April post regarding RMN when they were offering 8% cash back at Staples. This DID TRACK for me and I was paid out this morning. @wiscbugs @havaneselover @amalone1013
I received my "Big Fat Check" from Rakuten a few weeks back and was surprised to see the Burberry coat paid out in full ($165.90 cb) even though I called the store and they gave me a significant price adjustment. Rakuten had two months to remove it and never did. Honestly I would have said something, but not this time and I feel no shame to admit it. Over the years I've had several qualified purchases not tack that should have. The way I feel, Rakuten finally paid out what was owed to me and according to my spreadsheet they still owe me more.
