eBay released a whole bunch of new gift card deals today.
Staples Deal
- Buy $150 Staples e-gift card for $130 from Paypal Digital Gifts
- Limit 5
The Staples listing went back and forth, but currently it’s showing a limit of 5. The listing started with 15,000 and less than 1,000 are sold at the time of this writing.
13% off Staples is pretty good. Even better, it’s sold by Paypal Digital Gifts which has been earning 5x with INK. And you’ll get 2% back in eBay Bucks if you enrolled.
Update: There’s now a flash offer of 8% bonus Bucks that many of us were targeted for.Â
Go through the Shopathome portal for 1.5% cash back [and for their $5 promo – it was extended through May, for those who haven’t already maxed out], or get 1 United or American miles per dollar, or use the shopping portal of your choice
Gas, Auto Zone, CVS, & More
They also added a bunch of other gift card deals, including BP, Auto Zone, CVS, Barnes & Noble, Omaha Steaks and more.
- $100 gas gift card for $92 for BP, ChevronTexaco, Sunoco, and Speedway; limit 3 of each
- $100 CVS for $88 from SVM
- $100 Barnes & Noble for $88 from SVM
- $100 Auto Zone for $90 from SVM
- $100 Omaha Steaks for $85 from SVM
- $100 Sears gift card for $85 shipped from SVM, limit 3
- $30 AMC e-gift card for $25 from PPDG
- $50 Dave & Buster’s for $40 from SVM
- $50 Boston Market gift card for $42.50 from SVM, limit 5
- 10% off pre-owned Starbucks gift cards from Giftcardoutlet/Cardpool
Final Thoughts
I’m debating whether to jump on the Staples deal or to wait and see if there’s a bonus Bucks offer that comes out tomorrow. As noted, there’s still many thousands left. I’m leaning to jumping on this now and not waiting since the listing has been going back and forth.
Reselling
Without any bonus Bucks, there aren’t any amazing reselling opportunities here, but the Sears and possibly Staples and gas might be able to work for some.
The Staples can be sold currently for 84.5% to Saveya. The 3.5% from Bucks and portal will make it ~break-even on the sale, and you can net the free INK points; 5 x $650 INK points = 3250 points.
If you got targeted for the 8% bonus Bucks offer then the math gets a whole lot better. On the Staples deal, for example, you’ll profit around $40 cash + another 3250 INK points. Total profit value of over $70 at the very least. And the other gift card deals make a lot more sense too.
The biggest throttle now is that Paypal isn’t being too nice about letting us check out. Doing one gift card at a time might help.
