Mail-in Rebate gives $5 for every card discarded of a certain rank. The rank changes every round, choosing from a random rank in your deck (this chooses more common ranks in your deck more often).

Synergies[]

Decks[]

  • Red Deck Red Deck grants an extra discard, allowing more cards of the selected rank to be discarded.
  • Painted Deck Painted Deck allows you to have more cards in hand, letting you discard more cards without sacrificing good hands.
  • Black Deck Black Deck can more easily take Mail-In Rebate, as it has more Joker slots, and you want to be discarding with Black Deck more anyways, as you need to play better hands to compensate for having fewer hands. Black Deck can also hold more Jokers that help discarding, like Drunkard Drunkard.

Poker Hands[]

Hands that need fewer cards are better if you have less hand size, like Three of a Kind, which allows you to discard 5 cards if you have the default hand size. For this reason, Straight, Flush, and Full House are less valuable with Rebate.

However, Five of a Kind and Flush Five are sometimes better in highly-centralized decks, as with more of that rank, Rebate will likely choose that rank, and discarding them will be fine, as you are likely to draw more to still form a Five of a Kind.

Jokers[]

Jokers that add more discards work great with Rebate, those being Drunkard Drunkard and Merry Andy Merry Andy. Be cautious with Merry Andy, though, as the lowered hand size can sometimes end up with you discarding less cards by virtue of wanting to save a strong Poker Hand.

Jokers that give an effect when discarding, like Castle Castle, Faceless Joker Faceless Joker, and Hit the Road Hit the Road, synergize will with Rebate, as you can use them to get even more value out of discards.

Brainstorm Brainstorm and Blueprint Blueprint can copy the money generation effect, then copy a different Joker's effect for scoring hands, effectively allowing you to double Rebate's effect for free.

Sixth Sense Sixth Sense and DNA DNA usually work well with Rebate, as you will want to be discarding to find the card desired to play your first hand. DNA particularly works well, as by adding more cards of the same rank, the chance of Rebate selecting that rank is higher.

Blinds[]

The Hook Boss Blind causes cards left in hand upon playing to be discarded, and if that card is the same as required by Mail-In Rebate, you will be awarded the $5.

Trivia[]

  • This Joker is addressed to Jerry Seinfeld's apartment from the show Seinfeld.
  • If the deck has no card with any rank (i.e full Stone Cards), Mail-in Rebate will default to +$5 per discarded Ace.
