Gift Card Discounts - How to find Discounts on All types of Gift Cards

from web site


Gift card discounts can be found throughout the internet - if you know where to look. These discounts and deals can be found on all types of gift cards, including restaurant, gas, specific stores and prepaid credit card gift cards. Knowing where to look is one key to getting a good deal on gift cards. Being cautious in buying them is another. This article will explore the many ways to find gift card discounts.

According to a November 19 2007 holiday outlook report by Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH) analyst, Robert Drbul, consumers are expected to spend $35. 75 billion on gift cards, up from $24. 81 billion spent last year. This means that merchants and stores, both online and offline, are prepared to offer gift cards. This also means there are more choices for the buyer of gift cards.

Here are 5 ways to find or get a discount on gift cards, or ultimately not overpay for a gift card.

1. Find a No Fee Gift Card.

Most gift cards do not assign a fee when you purchase them. Yet, they may have a few "strings attached" regarding their use. Make sure you read the terms and conditions of card you wish to purchase. Some gift cards whittle away at the balance (they call it "maintenance fees"); some even expire after a year or two. The best type of gift card to choose is one that has no expiration date, has no activation time limit and does not slowly reduce the balance of the card due to non-use.

Many states have now set up specific regulations regarding the gift card terms that disallow expiration and balance fees.

2. Get a Gift Card with a Purchase

Many merchants and stores offer a gift card with a particular purchase. For instance, (usually closer to Christmas), some gas companies will offer a $10 or $20 gift card with the purchase of a car tank fillup. Or, a department store may offer a gift card with a purchase of $100 worth of products. Keep an eye out for these offers.컬쳐랜드 상품권 매입  You can either use the gift card yourself, or give it away as a gift.

3. Use Your Credit card Reward Points to acquire a Gift Card.

Many "reward" credit cards allow you to turn your reward points into dollar amount gift cards. Although, this really can not be considered a "bargain" since a reward point usually equals 2 cents and a $25 gift card usually requires 3000 to 5000 reward points. It is a good way to use "unused" reward points and a way to get a couple of gift cards to giveaway.

4. Buy Unused Gift Cards.

There are websites like Swap A gift that allow people to post their unused gift cards for sale. You can find a lot of great deals where you purchase an unused gift card at lower than face value cost. These types of websites usually require the seller to prove the value of the gift card, so there should be minimal problems in receiving your purchased card.

5. Buy Gift Cards on ebay.

The ebay auction site has over 1, 000 gift card or gift certificate listings online at the time of this writing. Many of these gift card / certificates are listed with no reserve, and much lower than the face value of the card. When choosing to buy a gift card on ebay, your biggest precaution would be to check the Seller's Feedback and make sure it is positive for Sales. In addition, it would be a good idea to make sure there have been recent positive feedback on gift card sales too.
