Do you think it would be rude of me to use $9 worth of loot towards a $11 order? Or is it even allowed? I tried to use $3 towards a $12 order, and it was rejected. Perhaps there is a threshhold of what % of loot you can use for an order?

Thanks in advance , Eric

You have to use the loot that you get from each seller to purchase from that seller again.

If you have $9 from seller A  You can not use it for seller B.  The seller give it to you so you keep coming back to them. 

I've never had the applying of loot rejected. Didn't even know that was possible. There have been a few times I used loot from a seller to purchase just card and the loot applied covered the card AND most or all of shipping. But I've had many times where I've used loot to cover 75%+ of a cost of a purchase or multiple cards. What I have noticed is that the number of high loot sellers have significantly reduced over the last couple years. Can't imagine why....

Yeah, kind of a key point....

I've never seen a rejection of loot.  Perhaps something else is going on simultaneously? 

Do you have Sportslot credit on your account?  If so, the following clause form the buyer's guide might apply:

If the buyer has enough Sportlots credit to pay for the order, the system will default by applying Sportlots credit to the order. If an order completely paid with Sportlots credit, Seller's Loot can not be applied. In order to apply Seller's Loot when this occurs, be sure to first remove any Sportlots credit from the order, then apply any Seller's Loot toward the order. Then, after all loot has been applied, the buyer can then re-apply any Sportlots credit back to the order.

I understand that iI need to use loot from that specific seller. Perhaps I'm not using it correctly. Like, there's a specific order to using the the little drop-down menus when placing the order.

Thanks, jimetal7212. I might be using the dropdowns incorrectly or there's some kind of glitch. I'm going to give it another try. I have way too much loot to be wasted.

I did indeed have some credit pending. I just cashed it in. Maybe that will fix the issue. Thank you!

If you have it in your account and you buy again from the same seller, why not? If you have Air Miles or fidelity points in some store elsewhere, would you have that dilemma? If the sellers are willing to give % in loot, they must be expecting to get buyers to use it in the future or otherwise they would not do it (as some seller are doing).

Yeah, you're right. I think I'm a little too sensitive about other people's feelings.
