We posted the many eBay gift card deals going on now and the basic details.
Let’s calculate the reselling side of this. Since the bonus Bucks is ending in a few hours, we’ll calculate the profitability both with and without the bonus Bucks.

Reselling Staples
$100 Staples e-gift card for only $85. Limit 3
- Pay $85 for each of the 3 gift cards (-$255)
- Sell to Cardcash for 81% (+$243)
- Get 8% back in Bucks (+$20.40)
- Get 5% back from the portal (+$12.75)
- Get 5% back from INK (+$12.75)
- Net profit: $33.90
- Without Bonus Bucks: $18.60
This is a very good deal with the bonus Bucks, but you are dependent on Cardcash not lowering their rates.
Reselling Lowe’s
Update: Sold Out
$100 Lowe’s gift card for $90. Limit 3
Lowe’s gift cards can be resold for 83% of their value. Here’s the math breakdown:
- Pay $270 for the 3 gift cards (-$270)
- Sell for 83% (+$249)
- Get 8% back in Bucks (+$21.60)
- Get 5% back from the portal (+$13.50)
- Get at least 2% back from the credit card (+$5.40)
- Net profit: $19.50
- Without Bonus Bucks: $3.30 (not worth it)
Not much risk here with price fluctuation since Lowe’s should hold steady.
Reselling Kmart
$50 Kmart e-gift card for just $42.50 from Paypal Digital Gifts. Limit 3.
Kmart e-gift cards can be resold to Saveya for 84% of its value. Here’s the math breakdown:
- Pay $127.50 for the 3 gift cards (-$127.50)
- Sell for 84% (+$126)
- Get 6% back in Bucks (+$7.65)
- Get 5% back from the portal (+$6.38)
- Get 5% back from INK (+$6.38)
- Net profit: $20.41
- Without Bonus Bucks: $15.31
Reselling Best Buy
$100 Best Buy e-gift Card get free $10 eBay e-gift card. Limit 2
For the sake of these calculations, let’s assume that you value the $10 eBay gift card as cash (which isn’t accurate) in order the make the calculations easier.
- Pay $90 for each of the 2 gift cards (-$180)
- Sell to Saveya for 88% (+$176)
- Get 8% back in Bucks (+$16)
- Get 5% back from the portal (+$10)
- Get 5% back from INK (+$10)
- Net profit: $32

Reselling Gamestop
Buy a $50 GameStop e-Gift Card & Get a Free $10 Code ($60 Total Value). Limit 2
- Pay $100 for $120 in gift cards (-$100)
- Sell to Saveya for 83% (+$99.60)
- Get 6% back in Bucks (+$6)
- Get 5% back from the portal (+$5)

Reselling Lord & Taylor
Buy a $50 Lord & Taylor e-gift card for only $40. Limit 5
- Pay $40 for each of the 5 gift cards (-$200)

Note that this carries a high risk of devaluation on Saveya’s end as the rates can very easily go down. I don’t recommend this if you are completely reliant on Saveya.

There’s also room to look into the JC Penny and TGI Friday’s and the Jiffy Lube. I trust you’ll be able to calculate those on your own 🙂 .
