The Offer
Direct Link (this should tell say if you got targeted)
eBay released another one of their Bucks deals today, and it’s the grand slam 5x Bucks deal.
- Get 5x eBay Bucks, or 10% back, on all purchases $50 or more, March 8 and March 9.
Bucks offers come out weekly, but the 10% offers only come out a few times per year. Just remember to activate the offer first.
What to Buy
We wrote up yesterday a list of all the gift card deals available on eBay. Exxon at 10% off, iTunes at 20% off, and the Best Buy bonus deal are all killer deals with the additional 10% Bucks offer. The Toys R Us deal is no longer available.
- $100 Exxon gift card for just $90 from SVM on eBay; limit 3
- $100 iTunes e-gift card for just $80 from PPDG on eBay; limit 4
- Purchase $150 Best Buy e-gift card and get a free $15 eBay gift card; sold by PPDG
- Purchase $100 Best Buy e-gift card and get a free $10 eBay e-gift card; sold by PPDG
- Other gift card deals for Applebee’s, IHOP, California Pizza, Bucca de Beppo, Michaels, and more
Remember, that PPDG is now limiting us to buy more than four cards from Paypal Digital Gifts per ten days as we’ve explained in a previous post. The Exxon deal and some of the other ones are not PPDG, and those don’t have limits. See also our List of Best Options for Full-Price Gift Cards on eBay – full price cards don’t have these limits.

The Best Buy deal can also be a reselling opportunity.

- Net $90
Final Thoughts
I haven’t gotten a 10% Bucks offer in a long time and I’ll be making whatever eBay purchases I can so as to try maxing out my $500 quarterly Bucks allowance now (or close to it). Hopefully, the rest of you got this offer as well.
Go big or go home 😉
