[UPDATE: I initially posted some details about this deal incorrectly. Here is the corrected version.]
[UPDATE 2: Reader CAV has a great idea to get $60 gift card for $55, instead of getting $75 for $70. See his comment here after reading the post.]
The Offer
- Purchase a $50 Gyft gift card and receive 500 Gyft points which can be used as a $5 discount toward a future purchase. Use promo code: MOM2015.
- Buy a $75 gift card on Gyft for any retailer you choose (Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, to name a few) and use the 500 points to discount the cost of the gift card.
- You’ll end up with a $75 gift card for $70.
The Fine Print
- Must apply promo code MOM2015 at checkout to get 500 points back on your purchase of a $50 or more Gyft Card (500 points = $5)
- Promotion ends at 11:59pm PST on May 10, 2015
- Promotion only eligible for a $50 or more Gyft Card
- Promo code is only valid for orders made with PayPal, credit card, Buy with Google, Apple Pay and Gyft Points (sorry, no Bitcoin)
- Cannot combine with other promotions or the $5 Gyft Card
- Cannot use a Gyft Card to purchase a $50 Gyft Card for this promotion
- Only 1 promo code use per household and/or user
- Purchases made with a promo code will not earn more Gyft Points in addition to the ones awarded with the promo code.
- Email validation is required to complete a gift card purchase
- Gift cards are only redeemable in the U.S.
Our Verdict
Could be useful for buying as a gift (intended use) or just to get a discount on gift card purchases. Since they sell gift cards to most of the major retailers, everyone should have one gift card that they could make use of.
Bear in mind, however, that these are e-gift cards and not physical gift cards. Also, remember to go through a portal when making both purchases. The portal terms seem to indicate that you can’t earn portal points and Gyft points on the same purchase, but it can’t hurt to try.
