All of these cards appear to have many thousands available and should hopefully not sell out any time soon.
Note: The Hyatt deal is a Daily Deal so it will probably just be around today 5/21/15.
The Fine Print
- Digital gift cards may take up to 24 hours to deliver.
- “Limited quantity available” As noted, I believe we have some time with all of these, they probably won’t be selling out in hours.
Our Verdict
Another eBay gift card day today! Still have to figure out which ones of these are useful for reselling. The TGI and Cabela’s can both be break-even resells. And the Hyatt comes close. Sears is also interesting.
- Paypal Digital should earn 5x with INK. SVM won’t.
- You’ll get 2% back in eBay Bucks.
- The portal for eBay has been down to 1.1% for over a week already. Down from 1.5%. UPDATE: FrequentMiler notes that today Ebates if offering 4% on the gift cards category. Other pointed out that FatWallet is also offering the same. This really changes the game here as it adds an additional 2.9% to the equation.
- You can use up eBay gift cards on these purchases.
- Use up Amex gift cards on these purchases, as Paypal accepts them.
Bear in mind, there can always be devaluations in the value of merchant gift cards so there is some risk involved.
