so my Canadian friend's wife got the 50k AMEX goldcard bonus a couple months back and wanted to buy an Ipad with her points. I he explained to her how bad of a redmption that was, and told her the best route if she really wanted to do it, was buy a Home Depot $500 gift card, that he could then sell to Plastic Jungle and get about $475 for it. She went ahead and ordered it, then he discovered Plastic Jungle had closed, and told her to cancel it. He found Rewards2Cash instead. She called and cancelled the card, and they told her if it showed up it would be cancelled and not to worry about it.
So my Canadian friend decided to check the balance anyways. Can you guess what it said? He decided to wait a couple of weeks and see if the card got cancelled, as the online statement shows it was cancelled, and the points refunded.
Canadian friend also just got his confirmation that his check for $752.40 for his transfer of points through R2C.
What should my Canadian friend do about his dilemma?
Feels pretty good....I won't lie.
