What To Buy
There are quite a few gift cards on sale, notably Starbucks and also some gas gift cards. You can view those by clicking here. Bear in mind that if you buy multiples of the same item, eBay usually considers it as one to combine and meet the $100 bonus Bucks threshold.

Stack the Deal
- Buy discounted gift cards
- Get 10% back in Bucks if you were targeted
- Go through Shopathome for 1.5% and for their $5 promo (it was extended through May, for those who haven’t already maxed out), or use the shopping portal of your choice
- Use up eBay Bucks from last quarter or pay with eBay gift cards purchased at a discount
Our Verdict
The Chevron gas cards resell for 87% currently and you can buy a maximum of five. If you purchased 5 you’d pay $450 and could resell them for  $435, but you’d also earn $45 in eBay bucks and $6.75 in portal cash back, plus whatever credit card rewards you earned/how much you paid for discounted eBay gift cards (another 5% discount minimum), you’d end up making almost $60. The Speedy cards sell for slightly less, but still very profitable.
