Maximize the Deal
There are some discounted gift cards that we covered yesterday, here is a link to the eBay page with all the gift card deals. There is Exxon at 8% off, and other gas brands at 5% off, and Auto Zone at 10% off, among others.
Nothing too good for reselling as Exxon isn’t commanding such a high price right now, but still good deals for actual gas purchase. And for those who got 10% bucks, the math can work better for reselling as well.
Also, see our List of Best Options for Full-Price Gift Cards on eBay if you want to purchase full-price gift cards to places like Target, Lowe’s, Home Depot, gas, and many more.
Shopping Portal
See all rates here. If you haven’t maxed out your allotted $20 from iConsumer, that’s the best deal. Otherwise, you can get 2% from Mrrebates or Splender.
Also worth noting that Ebates is offering 10% back on the baby category, and other high portal rates on clothing, pet, crafts, and much more. On baby products, you can end up getting a whopping 20% off with Bucks and portal! (Here is my Ebates referral link, appreciate if you use it.)
Our Verdict
The 10% deals are always worth maximizing as much as you can, and the 6% deal is also a nice bonus. I’m a little pessimistic that they’ll start making the 10% deals much more targeted, but hopefully this won’t happen.
