Webcertificate question

[pnknox]

I am about to cash in some Milesource miles for a Webcertificate, but have a question about how to use it. If I have a $50 web certificate but want to buy something that's only $35, does the rest remain at Webcertificate as a reduced-value certificate? What if I want to buy something for $60? I noticed that for a charge I can add dollars to the value of the certificate, but only in even dollar amounts. Their FAQ are not particularly helpful, so any advice would be nice.

Thanks!

Yes, any amount unused stays in your Webcert account.

Remember that you can use the webcert just like a CC -- you can earn points for shopping thru RP's and using your webbie, and you can combine it with coupons.

Hope this helps!

You can add dollars to your WebCert account, in even dollar amounts. You're right about poorly written FAQs, I got "bitten" the first time I tried -- you have to add the $1 service charge along with the dollar amount you want to show up in WebCert.

For example, if you need to add $20 in value to WebCert, add $21 total -- they take $1 service fee and your balance added is $20.

Be sure to check what their service fee currently is -- at the time, it was $1, but may have increased since I last checked.
