This deal is back for today. We updated the post with the new link to access the deal. There are also lots of other gift cards still available this week.
The Offer
- Purchase a $100 physical BP Gas gift card for $95 from SVM Gift Cards on eBay. Limit 3 per buyer.
The  Fine Print
- All cards will process by 4/27/15
- Deal valid for a week, while supplies last
Our Verdict
Based on the information we wrote in a previous post, SVM Gift Cards has not been having an issue of cash advance fees (though it’s always worth making sure your cash advance limit is $0). It also does not earn 5x with INK. Because of that, this deal is probably not worthwhile for the purpose of reselling. Last time SVM had a sale, they offered $100 Exxon gift cards for $90 which was  a much better deal.
Bear in mind, however, that you will get 2% back with eBay Bucks and you can go through a shopping portal for another 1.5% back. You can also use up any discounted eBay gift cards that you bought previously.
This could definitely be useful for someone who has BP as their go-to gas station.
Unfortunately, these BP gift cards cannot be used at ARCO stations.
Thank you,

Thanks JB.
Not enough leverage for resale but I wonder if these cards can be used at ARCO stations as we don’t have BP here at the west coast… Yahoo Answers says yes but it’s not mentioned on the offer’s page. 10% discount (incl. all portal and bucks) at the usually already cheap ARCO stations would be nice 😉
Good question.
Anyone have experience with this?
I’ve had no issues using BP cards at ARCO. You even get the cash price generally instead of credit (if there is a difference).
Thanks Raj but ARCO doesn’t even take credit cards… Only debit and for those they charge you an extra 35¢ fee.
The Arco’s up here in Seattle allow you to use credit cards, but the price is 6-10 cents cheaper per gallon to use cash/debit/gift cards.
If you have time to burn, it’s always possible to buy a gift card in the store right before you buy gas.
Just an FYI, you should always get the cash price at any gas station when paying with a gift card. If they charge you the credit price per gallon that is incorrect!
Do you have experience with BP in particular? In my area, Shell gets the cash price, but Exxon doesn’t. Not sure about BP.
To get 5x you could buy eBay GCs through PP Digital (or office supply store) and then use those GCs to purchase these. Still not as good as the Exxon one though, yes
Yup, good idea!
