Our Verdict
As always, the best way to get full value out of this promotion is to purchase items you normally would from one or more of the selected stores. If you’d like to just resell a gift card, your best option would be Nordstrom which offers 87.5% of face value which would result in a profit of $11.25.
A lot of these stores also sell gift cards to other retailers themselves, so you could probably get even better value by purchasing one of those. Unfortunately I wasn’t targeted for this promotion so I can’t participate. If you were targeted, let us know in the comments and also let us know how you will use this promo.
It’s also important to note that the purchases must be made in store. I personally don’t think it’s worth going out of your way just to earn $11, but that’s a decision you can make for yourselves.
