Gas Gift Card Deal
- Purchase $100 Circle K gas gift card for just $95 from SVM on eBay. Limit 3.
This is a great deal, especially when stacked with 8% back in Bucks. You can also get 2% back from Shopathome for eBay purchases currently or you can get the rate matched by Topcashback. See also Best Shopping Portal for eBay Purchases.
What to Buy
If you have the 8% bucks offer, you can take advantage of it by purchasing whatever you need now and lock in the 8% discount.
- If you use Circle K gas, the gift card deal mentioned above would be a good place to start.
- Buy any other items you need on eBay.
- You can also purchase many other third-party gift cards on eBay and lock in the 8% discount. Purchases made from Paypal Digital Gifts can also yield you 5x points for a total of 15x back after accounting for the Bucks, portal, and credit card points! See our List of Best Options for Full-Price Gift Cards on eBay for some good ideas of which gift cards to buy.
Personally, I usually wait out the 8% bucks deal and try to maximize the 10% bucks deals when they come infrequently, but if you have stuff you need to buy now it could make sense to purchase gift cards to those merchants and take advantage of this offer.
