The deal can be leveraged further with eBay Bucks and shopping portals, and credit cards.<\/p>\n<p>eBay Buck is eBay&#8217;s rewards program. \u00a0For every dollar you spend you will earn 2% back in eBay Bucks that can be used for future purchases. \u00a0So for this purchase you can earn 1600 eBay Bucks or $16.<\/p>\n<p>Next are shopping portals. \u00a0Currently the best shopping portal for eBay is iConsumer. \u00a0This is a relatively new shopping portal. \u00a0So, your guess is as good as mine if you ever see that money. \u00a0I will stick to uPromise because I don&#8217;t like spreading out my shopping portal use. \u00a0uPromise is offering 1% cash back.<\/p>\n<p>The next thing to consider is using a credit card to maximize your profit. \u00a0If you want to get creative here is how you could really maximize the deal. \u00a0Go to an office store like Staples, Office Max, Office Depot, etc and buy eBay gift cards with your Chase Ink card and get 5x points. \u00a0Another option if you have the old version of the Amex Blue Cash is to do the same thing at a grocery store and get 5x as well. \u00a0If you do that you the deal would break down further as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>eBay Bucks &#8211; 1600<\/li>\n<li>uPromise &#8211; $8<\/li>\n<li>Credit Card &#8211; 4000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Together that adds up to another $64 dollars off or 8%. \u00a0With this included you are looking at a potential profit of $144. Pretty good for 1 laptop.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rover.ebay.com\/rover\/1\/711-53200-19255-0\/1?ff3=4&amp;pub=5575154379&amp;toolid=10001&amp;campid=5337812444&amp;customid=&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FBrand-New-Apple-MacBook-Pro-MD101LL-A-13-3-Inch-Laptop%2F121878703830%3F_trksid%3Dp2322090.c100391.m3853%26_trkparms%3Daid%253D222007%2526algo%253DSIC.MBE%2526ao%253D1%2526asc%253D31356%2526meid%253De46ac52c18ab437697f5d521e0409dff%2526pid%253D100391%2526rk%253D3%2526rkt%253D18%2526\" target=\"_blank\">MacBook Pro<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"text-decoration: none;border: 0;padding: 0;margin: 0\" src=\"http:\/\/rover.ebay.com\/roverimp\/1\/711-53200-19255-0\/1?ff3=4&amp;pub=5575154379&amp;toolid=10001&amp;campid=5337812444&amp;customid=&amp;mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>**Update: \u00a0Deal is dead.** Today on eBay&#8217;s daily deals page is a great deal on a MacBook Pro. \u00a0On eBay this item is selling for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":95,"featured_media":249,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[6,3],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 -
