Hmm complete silence. Is this not a good deal? I'd think walmart, Amazon would get traction because they hardly go on sale and are almost as good as face value. What gives?

10% off Walmart looks good to me.

That seems like a lot of work (and a bit of risk) to (hopefully) exchange $45 cash for $50 in store credit.

One crucial term: "There are only 100,000 Rewards available during the Offer Period; Rewards will no longer be available once the limit is reached."

Most of these store cards are at least 5% off with several of my credit cards at Office Supply stores. Some go on promotion frequently with Citibank and Discover. Venmo/Paypal isn't worth the hassle, risking they won't "run out" of the 100,000 promotional $5ers. Since it's a limit of 3, that's only 33,333 people total if they all went for three promos. Not a lot considering their user base.

It sounds like they are matching the Gift Card deals happening at Costco and Sam's Club this weekend. They both have a handful of gift cards for 10% off, but I don't know if any of the brands in the Venmo deal have crossed over from those sales.

Received the email but, when trying to access, am told I need a business account. Not worth any more of my time so I deleted the email. Venmo is terrible at everything besides their base function of sending money between private parties.

Where do I even find gift cards within the Venmo app?

Edit: updated the app, tapped gear icon, scroll down, it's the one after Offers. 🤦🏻

When I try to purchase a GC, it keeps giving me the error message that I can't purchase GCs. Not sure what's that about.

I got the promo email and it's on the home screen in my app. However, I can't enter my own info; I put my spouse's account in and went through the process, but when I actually try to buy I get a red error saying it can't buy that gift card right now. I've tried over a few different days.
