Did you know that you can pick up gift cards to the places you shop regularly at a reduced price? I have always known that you could do this on Ebay- but most of the auctions I saw really didn’t offer much- if any- savings and who wants to be checking back to see if your bid is winning for a savings of a few cents?
But I was reading a magazine (one of my free subscriptions) yesterday and saw that there are sites that people selling and buy unused gift cards. So I though I would check it out. And you know what I found? Some nice bargains!!
The site I went to is called Plastic Jungle and they had, ready to purchase, around 200 gift cards from 0-20% off (I don’t really know why you would buy the 0% off ones- but there were only about 5 of those).
Some of the best retailers included:
Walmart- 4% off
Pottery Barn- 15% off
Bath and Body Works- 15% off
JC Penney- 13% off
Kohls- 10% off
Papa John’s Pizza- 10% off
Gymboree- 9%
Kmart- 8%
Gap, OldNavy, Banana Republic- 8%
and there were many more including hotels and food..
So these would not only be awesome for gifts (many of the cards are even amounts like $50 or $100) But would be even better to purchase for yourself to use at the stores you already shop at. Paired with store coupons, sales, and places like Ebates and ShopatHome you could really get some deep discounts.
According to plastic jungle:
Gift cards on Plastic Jungle can be purchased at a discount, which means you can save up to 35% off your next shopping trip (that’s on top of any store sales, coupons, or specials they might be running). And we offer FREE SHIPPING when you buy!
Plastic Jungle guarantees all Buyers the following:
* You will get your purchased gift card within fifteen (15) days of the date of purchase.
* Your gift card will have a value equivalent to or more than the listed value at the time of purchase.
* Your gift card is authentic and valid for use.
Check it out- I’m glad I found it!
