With inflation starting to rear it's ugly head and paychecks staying flat it is imperative that you stretch every dollar you've got as far as you can. Buying discounted gift cards is one of the ways to do just that.
The gift card resellers like GiftCards.com buy, sell and trade gift cards and you can buy a gift card and save up to 30% off the value of the card. Try earning that kind of return on your savings or stock investments. Not going to happen! Not now - not ever.
There are numerous sites that buy, sell and trade gift cards. They are not all alike and they are not all free of fees. Here are the most well known and popular sites for buying, selling and trading gift cards.
What is great about these sites is they do not charge you a penny in fees for buying a discounted gift card. If the gift card has a value of $50 and is selling for $40 then that's all you pay. And Shipping if FREE!
It is easy to see that by buying a gift card you are saving money. Take a discounted gift card along with a sale price, a coupon special offer (i.e. $15 Off $75 - think JCPenney's for instance), buy on-line to save sales tax in many instances, along with any Cash-Back rebate offered by one of the shopping portals like Ebates or ShopAtHome or MrRebates, and finally pay with a credit card that earns you cash back and you have got yourself one heck of a deal!
To save even more on meals and entertainment pickup an Entertainment Book. Then use the EB restaurant deal and pay with a discounted restaurant gift card to maximize your savings! And pay for the meal with a credit card that earns points or pays you cash back!
Right now EB is offering this great deal on all their books for cities across the country. Take 50% off of the cover price of the Entertainment Book plus FREE shipping.
But I can beat that deal for you. How does $7.40 sound? That is your final cost when you buy the book through a shopping portal such as MrRebates where you will get a 30% Cash Back rebate and if you are a new member you will receive a $5 sign on bonus otherwise the book still cost only $12.40!
