Is hoping for a market drop to coincide with another at-spot special too big of a dream?

I am waiting until 5x ebay bucks are offered again before spending mine.

That is very tempting too!

That only matters if you get them.

I have yet to receive an ebucks bonus offer while I had a spendable ebucks balance.

I maxed out two accounts during the last quarter thanks to bonus bucks. It cannot hurt to wait a few weeks to see what turns up in April.

with your two maxed accts, do you receive those bonus deals?

I'm usually at the 500 early, too early ha...and yet to receive an ebay bonus deal..ever.

My test of putting ~$5 and some of my own money on an ebay gift card and using it after ebay bucks' expiry was successful

I fear one day they expire, but maybe they just close the loophole. Ebay gift cards have no expiration, or so ebay says.

Probably WILL NOT be any super offers from APMEX...The employment numbers released today (Friday) were awful...the dollar sold off and so did the stock futures...there should be a very nice rally in the metals to start the week...

This.

If I did in the past, it wasn't much to get excited about.

The "deals" are dependent upon feepay soliciting the sellers to push their numbers with "enticements".

Given the amount of dumps at the end of Q1, I would suspect that feepay's numbers are going to be weak when they report.

2 of my 3 accounts have only existed for a few months. Those two received the bonus deals repeatedly in February and March.

Most, but not all, bonus offers came after the prior ebay bucks expiration.

I would not wait to at least find some possible spends. Actually, I recommend having items in mind when you are earning the ebay bucks, so you do not end up over spending during the promotions.

Got my bucks… now to find a few does.
John Doe, Jane Doe, and hoe dee doe . (that's slang for "hold the door" )

Same here...I suspect eBay does not count "bullion" related purchases, about $10k since January, in ascertaining who's eligible.
