Free 1-Day Pass
Since these are member-only deals, buying a Bjs.com membership just for this probably is not worth it unless you already need one. However, you can simply register an account and use a one day pass. KUKU tested a temporary registration and it worked fine.
Just choose Create A Login, 1-Day Online Pass. After registering, you are good to start buying.
As for how to liquidate these Visa gift cards, that is up to your creativity.
How to Maximize It
If you are working on a welcome bonus, buying some Vanilla Visa gift cards may be worth considering. The cost is under 2%, and after factoring in your credit card cash back or miles, your net cost can be close to zero or even profitable.
You can also use this to max out Freedom's quarterly 5X category. Since PayPal is supported for payment, this quarter the best option is to pay with PayPal + Chase Freedom for 5X UR.
Remember to click through from a cashback portal before buying. Whether it tracks or not is YMMV.
Enjoy~!
