Buying discounted gift cards online is one of the quickest and most straight-forward ways to saving money when you shop. In recent years, there have been more and more gift card exchanges pop up, each offering different deals and promotions.
Buying used or discounted gift cards is most effective when you know exactly what stores you visit often, or have a big purchase coming up. Many of the following sites also offer electronic gift cards, meaning you can buy them and immediately use the code to save up to 30% on an online purchase. Here’s the full list of gift card sites:
