Discount Gift Cards

There are many websites around that both sell and buy gift cards. They make their money by buying gift cards for 40% - 80% of the value then selling them for more (but still less than the gift card is worth.) While it may be difficult to remember to check all of the websites out there (ABC Gift Cards, Cardpool, etc.) thankfully there is a website that aggregates all of them together so you'll only need to check one place. Gift Card Granny provides an amazing service that lets you easily sort the available gift cards so that you can buy the ones with the largest discount.

When buying gift cards there are a few precautions that I'd recommend that you take.

1. Check the balance AS SOON AS you receive the gift card.
2. When you have time take the gift card to the store they're from and put them on a different card.

If you follow those two steps then there's virtually no chance that you'll end up with a worthless gift card.
