eBay is currently offering two gift card deals that are profitable, let’s have a quick look at them. In both cases you buy the gift cards at a 20% discount and they can be resold for 80% of facevalue. This means you’re breaking even, but on top of this you’ll also earn the following:
- Credit card points (at least 2% cash back)
- eBay bucks (2% in value)
- Shop through cash back portal Topcashback to get an additional 1.1% cash back
That’s an additional profit of 5.1% of what you paid for the gift cards. Now let’s look at the two promos:
- $50 TGI Fridays gift card for $40, limit of 5
- $50 Toys R Us gift card for $40, limit of 3
If you purchased all 8 possible gift cards you’d pay $320 and profit $16.32. If you’d previously purchased eBay gift cards at a discount, you’d do even better.
