Quick Thoughts

I am not an Apple user myself, but reports in the related Slickdeals thread indicate that some people have sent a gift card to themselves and received the $5. I did see one tip in the thread — after you buy the gift card, you have to go back into iMessage to send it. Free coffee always comes in handy for me. Hopefully,Ā they will do a similar promotion with Android pay to stack with the $5 back on $5 via Android pay :-).
