The Fine Print

Limit of three gift cards
E-mail delivery
Valid until May 16th, 2015

Our Verdict

This deal only makes sense if you have a card that earns at a high rate on office supply purchases, let’s assume you earn 5% cash back:

Purchase three $100 gift cards for $85 (-$255)
Earn 5% cash back on purchases (+$12.75)
Resell giftcards for 82% of facevalue to Saveya or Giftcards.com, both accept eGiftcards (+$246)

Total profit is $3.75. Obviously if you’re earning Chase UR points and value those at more than 1¢ or you’re a bulk seller that gets higher rates or you sell for a higher rate at Raise or you actually need Lowes gift cards then this deal will make more sense.

Also keep in mind Saveya/Giftcards.com limits you to selling $200 or $300 until you you become a bulk seller. You generally won’t earn portal cash back through Staples.com when purchasing giftcards either, although I’ve heard some people have reported success – so it never hurts to try (usually the smaller portals have more success).

I know acceptance of lowes gift cards to purchase other retail gift cards is store dependent, but do we know which way they lean towards? allowing or not allowing?

Unfortunately this deal looks to be only for Lowe’s eGift cards.

Not relevant really. Lowes eGift Cards can be used both in store and online. The question stands–can you purchase other gift cards in store at Lowes with Lowes Gift Cards? e.g. Amazon, Shell, whatever.

Depends on store I believe, wouldn’t rely on it working.

Anyone know if there are any restrictions on using these gift cards together on a single purchase? Looking at a new grill and this is a great start to get the price down

In-store I have experience using many Lowes gc in one transaction. Online, I’ve read that there’s no limit either.

I can confirm there is no limit to online orders. I called in before placing an order to ensure there would be no problems. I used somewhere between 15-20 gift cards to buy a washer/dryer set over the holidays!
