It's electronic. You'd need to print it out to give as a gift.@Insight wrote:
Is the GC an actual card or one you print. If it is an actual card I would give it as a gift.
You may be able to add the gift card to the app as well, since you can pay that way. I would not be concerned about the server thinking that you're the shopper because you have a gift card, plenty of people buy them online to give as gifts.@ShopperGirly wrote:
Update on payment: I have done 2 shops this week and both locations are using the "scan your receipt to pay" method (Tabletop kiosks are gone.) There is an option to enter gift certificates under the payment method. Tip: have the GC number and pin on a piece of paper ahead of time. My server never saw my GC nor would they have any way to know the value of the card.

Not necessarily a complete win if you prefer to be reimbursed, but it has the potential for being better. Plus being able to sell the gift card to Cardcash does make it an easy money-maker. We went yesterday for lunch and I spent $44 and change including tip, so it is possible to eat for under $45 (they have $12 burgers on Wednesdays and I ate the wings appetizer as my meal).@hbbigdaddy wrote:
The prior MSC sucked. Lame $45 reimbursement, NO pay and 2 stupid pictures (front and back of exterior). I will take the enhanced gift card payment, plus the $5 ADED over the prior MSC. If you spend less...you still get paid the $60 or $100 and can use it on multiple shops or give it to someone or go out for a NON-shop. It's a complete WIN for us now.

When do they send the gift card? I did one of these about a month ago, still waiting.
I'm not sure where BJ's is relative to where you live, but it's a 45-minute drive (plus a toll) for me, and I only eat there when I have a shop. It's not somewhere I would consider going to on my own because it's not very convenient.@hbbigdaddy wrote:
Really with "Cardcash"? I never even contemplated selling this gc for 67 cents on the dollar. What would that accomplish? I guess if you were tight on money and wanted the extra $23 (from your example)...but I would just a free meal with NO report as a better option.

They "score" your evaluation pretty quick. You might have already received a response on your score. It has been less than 48 hour turnaround for each of my visits. Yes, they made changes this month and didn't roll them out in a smooth way.
I have a feeling they will have many less interested shoppers in the BAR scenario since that requires 2 people now too. Why bother with the bar if you can get $35 more on the dining room?
And I noticed that the bar shop requires two entrees and two drinks, yet it reimburses less than the DR shop, which only requires a single drink. Why???@hbbigdaddy wrote:

Happy hour does not really help the bar scenario as none of the happy hour items are entrees. I have not done one since the rules changed but if they are as i have heard you need to order an entree and a drink. You will only save on the drink price and only if you want to order alcohol.
My scheduler told me that we should not order pizza when I asked if the large size that serves 4 or more people would count as 2 entrees. But that was before they cleaned up the new guidelines. I would think that the Monday special should work for at least one entree but if anyone has an insight on this please let us know as that Monday special is one of the days I like to go.
The Wednesday burger deal is great. I always go then since my wife likes them. And if you check the online ordering, you can figure out how you can customize them for free. I noticed that you can add fried onions to a burger with no upcharge.@JimmyP wrote:
They also have deals on burgers on Wednesdays.
