Gift Card Deals
eBay released a gift card deal for Best Buy, plus there are a few other deals still available.
- $150 Best Buy e-gift card + $15 eBay e-gift card for $150Â from PPDG
- $100 Best Buy e-gift card + $10 eBay e-gift card for $100Â from PPDG
- $100 Toys R Us e-gift card for $85Â from PPDG
- $100 Babies R Us e-gift card for $85Â from PPDG
- 5% off IHOP gift cards from SVM
The official limit for each of the e-gift card deals is 5 per card. In practice, you won’t be able to buy more than four cards from Paypal Digital Gifts per ten days as we’ve explained in a previous post.

Bonus Bucks Offer
Direct Link (this should tell you if you are targeted)
- Earn 3x eBay Bucks, or 6% back, on all eBay purchases made March 2 – March 4, no minimum purchase requirement.
This offer is surprisingly long; I don’t think we’ve ever had a 3-day bonus Bucks offer before. Remember to activate the offer first.
Stack the Deal
- Buy one of the discounted gift cards above
- Get 6% back in Bucks if you were targeted
- PPDG purchases have been working to get 5x with INK, or use an eBay gift  card purchased at a discount
- Get 2% back with the Splender portal, see all portal options here
Our Verdict
The Best Buy and TRU/BRU deals are great deals with all the stacking that’s available here. May even be a reselling opportunity, TRU/BRU goes for 80.5%, and Best Buy for 88%.
The big limit which knocks most of us out here is that we’re now limited to just 4 discounted gift cards per 10-days, as noted above. See also our List of Best Options for Full-Price Gift Cards on eBay – full-price cards don’t have these limits.

Three accounts for my family got a warning from EBAY for buying one EBay’s gift card deal last week. Big brother!
Could not buy any of the Best Buy cards cause of the stupid 10 day rule. Not targeted on my business account for the bonus bucks. Frustrating.
WTF is with the new PayPal checkout process and verifying the account on a computer used regularly?They seem to only block the txn when you want to pay with CC.
It will let you do bank account with CC backup. Are there any banks/Prepaids that will kickback the PayPal pull without charging for insufficient funds?
If you are using Linux or OS X (or Git Bash for Windows), the following command will get you the total remaining items of an Ebay listing:
curl -s http://www.ebay.com/some_listing | grep -oP “remainingQty\”:[0-9]+” | grep -oP [0-9]+
where the url “www.ebay.com/some_listing” should be the full url to the ebay listing.
So lets say you wanted to see how many $150 BB GCs are left – run this command:
curl -s http://www.ebay.com/itm/281945134287?rmvSB=true | grep -oP “remainingQty\”:[0-9]+” | grep -oP [0-9]+
Don’t know whats been going on. I can only attempt to buy 1x at a time (haven’t hit limit), and it won’t let me use my ebay gc. I think I’m staying away from ebay for a few weeks until they sort it all out.
Only purchased 1 GC within the past 10 days, and this one was purchased from gcm, not even ppdg, yet i cant purchase any ppdg gift cards!!! outrageous.. I tried 5 different GC’s (even full price ones) sold by ppdg but can’t purchase any of them. always get the “something went wrong. please try to check out again” error message..
I have been having the same issue, but today I tried buying the BB deal from PPDG as well as some physical Target cards from GCM in the same transaction and this time it went through 🙂 It’s not the best solution, but at least now I can get some of the discounted cards.
The resell rate is for mail in only, not for input code online. I am wondering if I can buy toyrus gift card with electronic gift card in store.
Only SO is targeted for the 3X ebay bucks deal. I wish I was targeted too. Its a real money maker.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PAYPAL?
Had been trying to go back and forth the text/phone confirmation. It asked me to confirm 5 times. A few times it said this credited card cannot be used with paypal right now.
I had the same thing happen. I had to go through a phone confirmation for each step of the checkout process and I was using a computer I always use.
I have not ever been able to buy stuff from PPDG with my wifes account always asks me to confirm everything and then only allows to pay with bank account…..they suck balls.
Never have an issue with my account but already hit the 4 max!
Same with me it wouldn’t let me buy them at all. It would however when I didn’t use a cash-back potal
Does the Ebay GC come later…got my best buy one pretty quickly but not the ebay one….just wondering if I missed it somewhere.
My Ebay GC came about 40 minutes after the Best Buy card
I’ve used BestBuy gift cards to buy ebay gift cards at BestBuy in the past. However, it is difficult to find a BB store that carries ebay gift cards these days.
Does anyone know if you can buy an ebay gift card at TRU with a TRU gift card?
Nevermind. I found my answer. Evidently TRU hardcodes it against a gift card buying a gift card. See the discussion on this thread if you are interested:
