The Fine Print

• Offers end sometime on March 31. However, there is a limited quantity available and they may run out sooner.

Our Verdict

These are all great deals for actual use. As for reselling at a profit, there’s nothing awesome here but there are definitely some possibilities. The e-gift cards are harder to sell and many that accept them pay out less for them. The Babies R Us (which is no longer available) looks like the best reselling material.

A few notes:

• You’ll earn 2% eBay Bucks on the purchase.
• Go through a portal for an additional 1.5% back.
• Pay with INK and you should get 5x rewards.
• Use up eBay gift cards.

Personally, I just bought $400 worth of eBay gift cards at Lowe’s using the Amex Offer, so I’ll be buying some of these gift cards. I’ll probably do Jiffy Lube and maybe I’ll find another. Really nice to see these gift card discounts come up so often on eBay. Wish I would have gotten in on the Babies R Us deal.
