i love gift cards i love giving them
[3]
and receiving them so if you plan on
[6]
buying
[6]
multiple gift cards for a ton of people
[8]
as a gift
[10]
it can get a little expensive however
[13]
if you are planning on doing that you
[15]
can purchase gift cards
[17]
at a discount if you buy them in bulk
[29]
hey guys it's justine with the college
[31]
investor
[32]
investing and personal finance for
[34]
millennials
[36]
and one of the tricks that i found on
[38]
saving money
[39]
with gift cards is buying them through
[42]
discount online retailers
[44]
so discount gift cards work by people
[47]
selling
[48]
unwanted gift cards to online retailers
[51]
and a lot of times
[53]
what these retailers are doing is they
[55]
are selling them
[56]
at a discount so high demand gift cards
[59]
are typically going out of stock really
[61]
quickly
[62]
whereas if you are getting gift cards
[64]
with the least amount of demand
[66]
you're gonna see them at a really steep
[68]
discount but oftentimes when you are
[71]
using these
[72]
discount gift card sites most times you
[75]
are going to receive those gift cards in
[77]
the form of an
[78]
email or an electronic gift card so
[81]
you're not actually going to see a
[82]
physical
[83]
gift card in the mail unless there is an
[86]
option to do that otherwise
[88]
so you're gonna have to get creative
[90]
with how you present these gift cards if
[92]
you are doing these as a gift
[94]
so of course we scoured the internet to
[97]
figure out exactly where you can buy
[99]
these discount
[100]
gift cards and i'm going to start with
[102]
my favorite one that we found
[104]
which is with raise.com okay so right
[107]
off the bat what i really like about
[108]
raise.com
[110]
is if you have a racketon account you
[112]
can also get one percent cash back on
[115]
your purchase
[116]
through this website what i also like
[119]
about how this is really organized
[121]
is you can search for gift cards by
[124]
discount by cash
[126]
back or like i was mentioning if you
[128]
really wanted a physical card to give
[130]
somebody
[131]
you could actually sort that by physical
[134]
physical card type and then it's going
[136]
to show you
[137]
exactly what gift cards are available as
[140]
a physical card
[142]
and what i also love about this is you
[144]
can see
[145]
exactly how much of a discount that
[147]
you'd be receiving
[149]
through each of these retailers so
[151]
cracker barrel
[152]
has up to 15 off their gift cards so if
[156]
you
[156]
find something that you like you can
[159]
just click on that retailer
[161]
and then see exactly what's available so
[163]
you can see
[165]
you could get a 50 gift card
[168]
at the price of 42.50 which is 15
[171]
off or 25 gift card for 22.50 which is a
[175]
great deal
[177]
so you can easily organize your gift
[180]
card
[180]
search through physical or electronic
[184]
or by cash back or the percentage
[187]
discount
[188]
another one you'll want to check out is
[190]
cardcash.com
[191]
so they offer a 45-day guarantee on all
[194]
of their cards
[195]
so if something were to happen and you
[197]
weren't able to use that gift card for
[199]
whatever reason
[200]
they do offer a 45-day guarantee
[204]
and also they have a facebook group
[206]
where you can get
[207]
access to to be the first to know what
[210]
kind of gift cards are being offered at
[212]
a discount
[213]
so let's head over to their website and
[214]
i'll show you how it works
[216]
okay so this is the card cash homepage
[218]
and you can quickly see there are big
[220]
retailers like
[221]
starbucks walgreens michaels all
[224]
listed right off the bat and you can see
[227]
exactly how much of a discount that you
[228]
would be receiving it looks like the
[230]
ones
[231]
in orange are probably going to give you
[234]
the steepest
[235]
discount so you can simply
[238]
highlight a gift card that you're
[240]
looking for
[242]
and they'll give you the option of
[244]
figuring out which gift cards
[246]
you want to use and so they actually
[248]
have quite a few 250
[251]
e-gift cards are available at fifty
[254]
dollars
[255]
and you can get a one percent discount
[258]
if you were to
[259]
bulk order old navy gift cards
[262]
your third option is to go through
[265]
cardpool.com they
[266]
also offer a guarantee theirs is 60 days
[270]
however i did find on their website that
[272]
some of the
[273]
retailers that they were listing and
[275]
advertising as
[277]
that they have gift cards available
[279]
actually weren't available
[281]
so i feel like their stock was a little
[283]
bit lower
[284]
if we go over to their website you'll
[287]
see exactly
[288]
what kind of gift cards they have
[290]
available and then which ones are
[293]
in stock but when i was on this website
[296]
earlier this month as i was clicking
[299]
around
[299]
some of the gift cards that they were
[301]
highlighting actually weren't available
[303]
at all so you may have to just do some
[306]
digging around with card pool just to
[308]
make sure these gift cards are actually
[310]
available so applebee's you can buy a 25
[314]
applebee gift card for 20
[318]
which i think is a great deal you get
[320]
five dollars off
[321]
and then you can see exactly how those
[324]
gift cards are going to be delivered to
[326]
you which
[327]
is digitally through your email your
[329]
last
[330]
option is to go through giftcards.com
[334]
what i liked about this this website is
[337]
that it also
[338]
offered a one percent racketing cashback
[340]
and you also have the option of doing
[343]
multi-store gift cards or corporate gift
[345]
cards which i
[346]
didn't see in the other three options
[349]
that i mentioned to you
[350]
what's also interesting about
[352]
giftcards.com
[353]
is as i was scrolling through their
[356]
different
[357]
options i didn't see them
[360]
listed right away as at a discount
[363]
however they do have a rewards program
[367]
called g money points so every time that
[370]
you
[371]
purchase a gift card through
[373]
giftcards.com
[375]
every dollar earns you 100 points and
[377]
then you can
[378]
redeem those points for more gift cards
[380]
so that's another way that you could use
[382]
these
[383]
at a discount so for example with a home
[386]
depot gift card
[387]
you actually are just purchasing full
[390]
price 25
[391]
home depot gift card but you'll be using
[394]
those reward points
[395]
to use in the future at a discounted
[398]
price
[398]
i did see when i went over to this more
[401]
tab that you could buy
[402]
discount gift cards but when i went to
[405]
this tab
[406]
it really didn't look like there was a
[408]
whole bunch of available options
[411]
and another thing when i was researching
[413]
giftcards.com
[414]
earlier it did look like they were in a
[416]
partnership with
[417]
cardpool so that's another thing to
[420]
consider
[421]
if you are planning on using
[422]
giftcards.com
[424]
overall my favorite pick is raise.com
[428]
i just found their interface really easy
[430]
to use i liked the filtering system
[432]
and there were a ton of options to
[436]
buy gift cards at a discount and it was
[438]
clearly marked exactly how much of a
[440]
discount you'd be receiving
[441]
for each of those options and i didn't
[444]
feel like i was limited to only a
[446]
certain number of retailers
[447]
there were literally dozens and dozens
[450]
that i could
[451]
choose from and feel like i was getting
[453]
a really great deal
[454]
so if you are planning on buying gift
[456]
cards as a gift
[458]
especially multiple gift cards i highly
[460]
recommend
[461]
using a site like raise.com to get the
[464]
most
[464]
bang for your buck if you are interested
[467]
in being a financially savvy gift giver
[470]
among other things financially related
