YMMV Targeted: Amazon Auto-Reload Rewards: $10 bonus + 1% bonus [Debit Cards only]
Please note this is a YMMV promotion. Amazon has been running multiple of these promotions the last few weeks, but each time, only a percentage of their customers are eligible. As fate would have it, I am finally eligible for one of these, so I can tell you what happens.
You find out if you are eligible if you are logged on to your Amazon account and visit the Auto Reload Rewards page. If you are eligible, you will see the promotion mentioned below.

27-inch Dell UltraSharp U2715H QHD + $200 Promo Gift Card for $540
If you are looking for a new computer monitor and planning (or not objecting) to make additional future purchases at Dell Home, they have a nice deal on their 27-inch Dell UltraSharp U2715H monitor. You pay $550, and for that you receive the computer monitor and 10-20 days later, you receive via e-mail a $200 promotional Dell Gift Card.
When you add the monitor to the shopping cart, the $200 promo gift card will be added automatically by the Dell website (annotated screenshot below).
The promotional gift card expires 90 days after it is sent (unless your State prohibits this practice, in which case, it will last longer). So strategically, it is a good idea to plan both this and the next purchase to spend the $200 promo gift card.
Main monitor specs: 2560 x 1440 @ 60 Hz, IPS, Anti-Glare, 2 HDMI, DisplayPorts, no VGA, no DVI, USB ports (five down, one up), 178-degree viewing angles, 3yr warranty, etc. Averages 4.3/5 with 10 reviews at Dell’s and 4.5/5 with 360+ customer reviews at Amazon.
