The Offer
- SVM Gift Cards on eBay is offering $100 BP gift card for just $90. Limit 3.
The Fine Print
- “Limited quantity available” There appears to be close to 20,000 available.
Our Verdict
This is another money-maker deal here. You can resell the gift cards for around 90% or more. You’ll profit from the 2% eBay Bucks and 1.1% from the portal and 270 free credit card points.
If we’ll assume you get 2% back from the credit card:
- $5.40 from credit card
- $2.97 from portal
- $5.40 eBay Bucks
- [$4.50 Possible 1.5% profit from selling to Saveya for 91.5%]
- Subtotal: $13.77 [or $18.27 from selling to Saveya]
- -$1.93 cost of shipping gift cards
- Total: $11.84 [or $16.34 with Saveya]
Bear in mind that there is a chance of devaluations of the gift card and you may not actually end up being able to sell it for 90%. That said, it probably won’t devalue too much so you shouldn’t end up with a loss, in any case.
Or you can just use the gift cards if you have a BP station nearby. You can use these gift cards at Arco as well.
There’s also Jiffy Lube, iTunes, JC Penny, Sports Authority, and Bass Pro Shops gift cards available at discounted prices on eBay (Lowe’s sold out). Remember to use up any eBay gift cards on the purchase as well.

Any experience selling giftcards to cardpool or monstergiftcard for the BP gift cards? Thank you.
Hey there,
Just as an FYI, it seems that the USPS increased the price of many of its services on 5/31/15. The current price for First Class package weighing up to 3 oz is now $2.04 vs. $1.93; I don't think the $.11 increase is a deal breaker, but something to take into account since the margins can be very thin at times.
Source: Price shown when I tried to generate a label via paypal and it's confirmed through various channels such as this one:

Interesting, thanks for that.
How do you get 1.5% from saveya?
They were offering 91.5% at the time of writing (no more).
My forecast, in next week or so it will drop 1 to 2% more from Saveya
Glad I waited on this on. I just received a 4x eBay bucks offer (8% back) that really sweetened the deal. Check your emails for the offer before you pounce!
Yeah, nice. I didn't get this one.
I also @ you guys on twitter earlier this morning about it but seems nobody notice... while I did get retweeted from you guys about this BP GC yesterday.
What is the best way to inform you guys these things?
Twitter is best, I got the tweet I just forgot to retweet/post! Thanks for all the heads up, appreciate it.
Learned a lot from you guys & very glad to help a little bit!
One caveat if reselling, BP is one company that does not replace lost gc.
Is that personal exprience?
Unfortunately yes. Shell I'm told has same language but never looked into it. I have noted Chevron/Texaco says they'll replace. On moneymetagame someone commented a retailer refused to replace cards that were sent for resale...so perhaps best to avoid that language in any case.
I think you forgot to mentioned you can get 5% back by purchasing ebay gift cards at office supply stores or through digital paypal and using those ebay gift cards to purchase BP gift card
Hey Chuck, what shipping option do you use for gift cards that you quoted as $2? Thanks.
he probably uses first class package. my question is: first class package requires you to have a tick object inside envelope. Do you (Chuck) worry about this or you just put it in a regular envelope?
How do you print a First Class shipping label? USPS website only has Priority Mail.

Just curious. How do you know there is approximately 20,000 available? Thanks!
I'll have a post up soon (I hope!).
Thanks man! A nice to way liquidate the $200 eBay GC bought last week ;-)
