Summary Table of Gift Cards
These are gift cards in denominations of $25 (exceptions are noted) and good as
cash so you can combine with whatever promotion the store has. You buy them at
face value and then Memberworks (athome / lifestylerewards / galleria) credits back the 20% value to your CC on the first few days of the following month.
One down side to the gift cards is if you lose them... you lose.
Only a few stores accept them to cover store credit card balances (exceptions are noted).
Only a few stores accept them through their online stores (exceptions are noted).
The card limits for the Plus (+) versions of the programs are 5 cards per month with a maximum of 30 cards per membership year - except for Home Hardware on the Lifestylerewards+ website where you can currently order $500 of their cards in one shot.
