The Offer
- Purchase a $75 Staples e-gift card for $65 from Paypal Digital Gifts on eBay. Limit 3.
The Fine Print
- Limited quantity available. (There appears to be around 4500 available at the time of this writing.)
- It appears to be available for those who took part in past offers.
Our Verdict
Not as good as the $75 for $60 deal, but still very nice. Possibly useful for resale, especially if you have an INK card since Paypal Digital on eBay has been working to trigger 5x with INK. But this is difficult given that e-gift cards have a lower resale value.
Remember that Saveya requires physical submission for Staples gift cards. You can sell it for 81% to Cardcash or 77% to Cardpool. This will amount to $182.25 or $173.25 respectively for the 3 cards which cost you $195. After adding in the 3.1% from the portal and eBay Bucks, you’ll still be at a loss of ~$7 or ~$16 respectively which means that you’ll be paying at least $7 for the 975 INK points. There’s also the option of selling them no Raise and hopefully getting $1.50 back from the portal.
All the math changes, or course, if you have bulk seller status with one of the exchanges.
