eBay is selling $100 Gift Card for $95

These gift cards can be used to buy other gift cards. When you purchase non eBay gift cards you will also get eBay Bucks.

Start your purchase at Top Cashback and you will may get an extra 1.5% cashback.  Terms and conditions exclude eBay gift cards from 1.5% and I have not received cashback for it in the past.  Frequent Miler however reports that he received 1.5% for buying eBay gift cards last week so it is worth trying.

Use a Chase Ink Business Credit Card and you might get 5x points per dollar spent at Ebay.

Upgrade GameStop Gift Card to Amazon Gift Card

A friend of mine let me know that GameStop gift cards can be used to purchase other types of gift cards in store including Amazon Gift Cards.  I spend a ton of money on Amazon every year so Amazon Gift Cards equivalent to cash in my mind.

This is quite nice since GameStop Gift Cards can be bought at a discount online.  I went tonight to check it out myself and it worked like a charm!

A quick check on Gift Card Granny shows that you can buy a GameStop gift card for 10% off via eBay and 8% off via giftcards.com.

Buying gift cards on eBay is great since you can get an additional 1.5% cashback from Top Cashback and you are eligible for eBay Bucks which can be used for future purchases.  If you use a Chase Ink Business credit card you might even get 5x points for the eBay purchase.


Once I knew about this I checked online and there have been others who have talked about it before.  One is in the Frequent Miler Laboratory which is a great resource to check for any gift card or shopping portal questions.  It is also discussed on Slickdeals.

• Make sure you buy physical gift cards, not eGift Cards so that it can be used in store. Amazon Gift Cards are not sold online by GameStop
• Buy close to $50 or numbers divisible by 50 since Amazon Gift Cards are sold in GameStop in $50 denominations, at least in my local store.  Otherwise you are paying for the rest with a regular credit card.

Random Good Posts from Around the Web You Might Want to Know About

It seems like every Blogger now has a weekly roundup of deals and posts from themselves and around the web.  I personally enjoy them, but I was trying to avoid copying everyone else. My Feedly was getting backed up on articles I read and enjoyed and wanted to comment on.  I can't write a full post on all of these, but they are nice to know about.  Here they are in short form.  

Let me know via email or the comments if you like this type of post.

• $25 off any $25 Purchase on Stubhub - Dan's Deals 
• Speaks for itself.  This has been making the rounds of the blogs so it will probably be removed soon.  Make sure you put in the code in CAPS.
• New Linking Out Policy - Doctor of Credit
• Yikes!  I hope it isn't me! ;)  This is one of many reasons I really like Doctor of Credit.  They always give credit to where they got something.  There are very few blogs that can consistently come up with deals that are completely new.  There are too many forums and bloggers for that to happen.  It's not a problem.  Just quote your sources.  
• Don't Delete Your Credit Card from Serve - Miles to Memories
• Nice little tip for the last month of non-Amex credit card loading onto Serve.  Time to apply for Fidelity American Express if you don't already have one.
• Extra 2% Cashback from Discover - Doctor of Credit 
• Nice little tidbit.  I actually did it myself as I was typing this post and got an offer for rotating 5% categories!  Wait, everyone gets that.  That makes me sad :(  Still worth a shot for you.  
• Free Coca Cola Zero Mobile Coupon at Target - Points, Miles and Martinis
• Mobile Cash Deposits from Citibank - Personal Finance Digest
• I've started to accumulate a lot of cash lately with Amex for Target (not RedBird) and Visa Buxx though I am no longer accumulating for Visa Buxx (it's worth it to do your own research on that one!).  If only it wasn't an April Fool's joke!
• Why Fidelity American Express is Better than Citi Double Cash - Doctor of Credit
• There are a couple of great articles he quotes in there to show how your Fidelity American Express can turn into a 2.8% travel expenses card.  I really like Fidelity AMEX because I can invest in iShares ETFs via Fidelity for no commission. I invest in ETF symbol ITOT which is a total market ETF (I am a bit of a Boglehead).  I can buy one share at a time as the rewards allow me to.  I have successfully increased my Fidelity portfolio in that way.
• Credit Card Retention Bonuses - Doctor of Credit
• You can apparently ask for them a lot from different card issuers.  This is news to me and I will try it soon.

Exxon Mobil $100 Gift Cards on Sale for $90 on eBay - Limit of 3

Disclaimer: I receive a referral commission for the following link(s) and I greatly appreciate supporting the site: Top Cashback and eBay


This deal was actually available last week, but they were sold out before I could post.  If you bought then, you won't be able to buy again.  I recommend buying them right away.  Worst case scenario you will be able to sell them for a profit or just use them to pay for gas

Check out Doctor of Credit's post on the subject who has all the details.

Here is the link for the Exxon Mobil Gift Card.  Limit of 3 per person

The bottom line is that if you buy 3 gift cards, you can make at least $20 reselling them online.  I would check giftcardgranny.com to find the best price.  It seems that they can be sold for $93 each, which is $9 of profit just on the sale.

Start your purchase at Top Cashback and you will get an extra 1.5% cashback as well.

When you purchase non eBay gift cards you will also get eBay Bucks.  In this scenario, you will get $5.40 in eBay Bucks for your next purchase

. 

Use a Chase Ink Business Credit Card and you will get 5x points per dollar spent at Ebay.

This is a great way to use up existing eBay bucks or eBay Gift Cards, make some extra money or get close to hitting a spending threshold or all 3!

Buy Money Orders at Western Union with Visa Gift Cards

I've talked about buying money orders with Visa Gift Cards at Pathmark before.  My local Pathmark has a Western Union area that sells money orders and you can pay with cash or debit cards.  Visa gift cards count as debit cards.  Your pin does not need to be set for One Vanilla or Metabank visa gift cards is the last 4 digits of the card number on the front.

The fee is $0.99 for up to a $1,000 money order and you can use two Visa Gift Cards to pay for one money order (split payment). There is a $1 fee for each debit card.  Total fees are $3.
