We often talk about methods of purchasing gift cards with added discounts. For example, you can purchase gift cards on eBay and rack up eBay Bucks. You can also purchase gift cards from Gyft and rack up Gyft Points.
Now, you can likewise accrue points when purchasing gift cards from giftcards.com.
Giftcards.com Rewards Program
Giftcards.com sells a wide variety of gift cards to merchants such as Amazon, Best Buy and more. They have ordinary ‘first-hand’ gift cards and also discounted ‘second-hand’ gift cards to merchants like Walmart, Target, Staples and more.
They recently started a site-rewards program which gives us 1% back in the form of store rewards to be used for a future purchase.
You need to register for this program. Go to the ‘Manage Account’ tab at the top of the page and you’ll see a Reward Program option there. Click on it and it will prompt you to ‘Get Started’. Click that and you’ll be ‘Registered’. You’ll get an email confirmation confirming your registration.
Thoughts
Earning 1% back on non-discounted gift cards isn’t amazing since you can earn 2% back by making the purchase on Gyft or 3% back by making the purchase on eBay and stacking the portal and eBay Bucks. You can also buy third-party gift cards from Staples.com and hope to get portal points as well (though it’s excluded from the terms, it sometimes works).
The more interesting part here is the 1% rebate on gift cards which are already discounted. Giftcards.com has really nice discounts on many cards and an added 1% on top of that is nice.
On a similar note, you can also get 1-2% back on discounted gift cards from Raise.com by going through the Topcashback portal, more on that in this post.
