Buy from gift card resellers
There are a number of gift card resellers online that buy unwanted gift cards from consumers and re-sell them at a discount. What’s more, when these retailers accumulate too many of the same kind of gift cards, they run a sale. To find discounted gift cards from your favorite stores, set a Google alert - this way you can be sure that you’ll be the first to know about the sale.
Buy gift cards from a warehouse store
Warehouse stores like Sam’s Club and Costco sell gift cards for less than their face value (typically about 15-20% less). If you have a membership at these stores, you can use it to get cheap gift cards for iTunes, Regal Cinemas, Google Play, Starbucks, AMC Theatres, Dunkin Donuts, and other popular brands. The best part is that you can order these cards online, so you don’t even have to worry about running to the store.
Buy in bulk
If you are looking for gift cards to give away as presents to your loved ones, check if you can buy gift cards in bulk from a grocery store. Most stores that sell gift cards in bulk will charge less than the total value of the cards.
Look for holiday bonuses
Many stores and restaurants offer gift card promotions, especially during the holidays. So, for instance, you could purchase a gift card worth $25, and they will give you an additional $5. Similarly, if you purchase a gift card worth $50, they may add an extra $10 to your balance. This is a cool way to get some extra cash on your gift card.
Check if you can cash in your reward points for gift cards
Most reward credit cards allow you to cash in the points you’ve accumulated for gift cards. Log in to your credit card account to see if you can redeem the points for a gift card.
