Paypal Digital Gifts is offering discounts on a number of gift cards. This is for direct purchase on PPDG, not via eBay.
Direct PPDG purchases have been working to get 5x with INK.
- $60 Overstock e-gift card for $50
- $100 Land’s End e-gift card for $90
- $50 Land’s End e-gift card for $40 (I think this is a glitch, it should be $45. Buy fast if you want it.)
- $50 Aeropostale e-gift card for $40
- $100 Famous Footwear e-gift card for $80
- $100 Justice Tween Clothing e-gift card for $90
- $50 Justice Tween Clothing e-gift card for $40 (I think this is a glitch, it should be $45. Buy fast if you want it.)
As with all PPDG direct purchases, you can’t buy multiple gift cards in one purchase, it’s always one at a time. There’s no official limit, just until Paypal stops you.
I was able to buy $240 in gift cards (cost of gift card) until Paypal started sending me through verification hoops, got another $200 with the hoops, then had my Paypal account frozen. Unfroze, tried again, no dice – it just refroze the account. This is consistent with standard PPDG operating procedures; you can usually get under $250 without an issue, then another couple hundred with hoops. I don’t know if PPDG direct and PPDG on eBay combine their limits or if each is independent.
All the links are giving errors today (bought some yesterday). It was supposed to run until the end of the month. Hope they didn’t end it early.
Looks like the lands end $50 for $40 is back in stock so I was able to pick one up. Thanks.
Nice, thanks for letting us know
Anyone having issues with using eBay GCs? I’m not getting the error message for using $2k/60 days, but when, for example, I add a $200 or a $50 eBay GC it only applies $24. Can’t seem to get past it.
Maybe you only have $24 left until you hit $2k so it’s only letting that amount?
I guess that must be why, but I thought people were getting errors when hitting it. I guess it doesn’t error out until you’re actually at $2k.
Paypal is very sensetive to frequency. I don’t waste my time or take chances with my paypal account on small stuff like this. I wait for good ebay bucks offers of x5 or x4 and then I hit it hard. I transact $1k+ transactions and have never had an issue. You know why? because I don’t do 3,4,5,6,7 transactions. I do one large one and another one the next day if the bucks offer is still going on. If not I’ll do 2 transactions in one day at most and no more. I get approved every time, I just have to go through the phone verification process, and no I don’t go in a loop.
Stop fucking around with small potatoes and then bitch about paypal limits, security etc.
Have discipline and limit your transactions.
$50 Lands End sold out… 🙁
Exasperating experience, as always, dealing with Paypal. I got the $250 limit on mine, but only $50 on my wife’s. After hoops, we got to $450 total. A nice deal, though. Thanks.
i was able to buy 9 of Land’s End before i hot the wall… not bad with Ink… they paying us to produce UR! 😉
Nine $50, I imagine? Yeah, that’s similar to me.
yes of course, the mispriced ones. they paid us $9 to create 1800 UR… nice deal.
also, all already sold… hehe. 😉
I thought they were relaxing the limits with people who have a long history with paypal and PPDG. I bought 6 total $100 GCs before being shut out. I’ll probably try one more time this evening around 9-10 PM PST.
which $100 cards are worth buying for resale? thx.
Hit wall after just$100 in purchase.
PPDG rules are hard to figure out. For a while I could buy whatever amount I wanted (that was short lived). Then I couldn’t buy anything. Then I could buy in increments under $100 per transacation and under $250 per day — this lasted a while. Then over the last couple days I was able to buy a bunch — now I can’t buy anything again. LOL.
Seem to be some internally hidden velocity rules mixed in with some other components such as account age and IP address. I can never get multiple ebay PPDG orders through per day, but have very high success on the first order regardless of value up to ~$500. But, if I have done a few days in a row, even the first order on the 4th day or so may not go through. FWIW, I got just over $1200 through PPDG from yesterday to 9 days prior. Now today, I couldn’t buy any through the non-ebay PPDG.
I can only buy under $300 per 24 hours from PPDG. As soon as I hit $300 or try before it is exactly 24 hours since my previous purchase, I get signed out of my paypal account and I have to log back in with a lower dollar amount in my cart to complete the transaction.
Although the Terms and Conditions says otherwise the balance of the Land’s End gift card from PPDG cannot be checked on Sears.com or Kmart.com which means the card can only be used at Land’s End.
Is this accurate? proof?
If not online, what about in physical Sears/Kmart stores?
