The Offer
eBay is sending out a targeted Bucks offer today:
- Get 10% back in eBay Bucks on purchases $50+
Offer valid through September 16 PT, three days only.
Stack the Deal
There are a number of things that stack together at the moment to make it an awesome time to buy stuff on eBay, including third party gift cards:
- 10% back in Bucks if you were targeted
- $15 off $75 on most things on eBay (one time use) if you were targeted
- You can now use eBay gift cards to buy third party gift cards through October 13; buy eBay gift cards at a discount to further the deal
- Lots of discounted gift cards are currently available
- As always, go through a shopping portal; currently, 1.2% on GivingAssistant or 1.3% on iConsumer look best
- Use INK for PPDG purchases
As an example, you might be able to get $100 BP or Speedy gas gift card for just $67. The $100 gas gift cards are selling for $92, but after deducting $15 and 10% and 1.2% it ends up around $67, aside from regular credit card points you’ll earn on the purchase.
If you have discounted eBay gift cards, you might end up paying just $65 or less.

Our Verdict
I’m really bummed that I stopped getting Bucks offers the past few weeks. For those with the Bucks or coupon offer, it’s sure a good time to buy now. It’s great also that they made this a three-day offer.
The BP deal (GCW 89%) and Speedy (GCW 88%) and Cabela’s (GCW 76%) and Banana (GCW 74%) have some resale potential.
