Discount Gift Cards

Consider doing your Christmas shopping using discounted gift cards.  You can pay less than face value for gift cards from major retailers. You can either give these discount gift cards as gifts (the receiver does not know that you paid less than face value), or you can purchase these ahead of time and use them yourself for your holiday shopping and stretch your dollars.

Here are a few discount gift cards that I saw today:

Bath and Body Works – $132.50 gift card , you pay $115.28 and save $17.22.

Pier One – $100 gift card for $85.00, save 15%

Borders – $250.00 for $217.50, save $32.50

JCPenney – $100 gift certificate for $87.50, save $12.50

All of these cards came with free shipping and there were many more to choose from. All the recipient sees is the dollar amount for the full value.

There are two companies that I found that offer these discount gift cards. The first is called giftcards. com, click on discounted merchant cards, then “view all”.

The site will also buy your unwanted gift cards with a balance between $25.00 and $200.00 as long as there is not a pending expiration. They will charge you a fee to buy your card, but still it’s better than having it sit unused in a drawer.

You can also order a personalized Visa Gift Card but beware of the fees involved-see the fee schedule for this at the bottom of their website.

The second site is called Plastic Jungle. Buy, sell and trade gift cards at PlasticJungle.com. Pay as low as $60 for a $100 gift card or sell your unwanted gift cards for cash!

Here are some of their discount gift cards on their website today:

Macy’s $300 value for $264.86 or 12% off

Footlocker – $50 value for $42.00 or 16% off

Gymboree- $212.92 value for $180.98 or 15% off

Plastic Jungle will buy sell or trade your unwanted gift cards.

At both of these websites for discount gift cards, the inventory changes all the time so what you see today may be unavailable tomorrow. Consider using discount gift cards to stretch your gift-giving dollars. Combine a discount gift card with a More With Less Today retail code from Today’s HOT Deals and go to the head of the class!
