NEVER Pay Full Price - Ultimate Jew Guide

[Boner_18]

One of my favorite things is the secondary gift card market. There is no excuse to NOT using secondary market gift cards for ALL planned purchases.

For example - buying a new pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses today - $159.99 retail + $15 tax + shipping.

Sunglass hut gift cards are selling for a whopping %20 off on the secondary market. Google a promo code for free expedited shipping, buy the glasses though a shopping portal (e.g. https://www.aadvantageeshopping.com/) and net effective price is $111.xx shipped next day. Love the saving more than the glasses...

I was just thinking about this today. Have you ever got burned buying gift cards online?

Had some delivered zeroed out, but the reseller refunded the transaction. That's why you have to look at the protection policy and stay with a reputable reseller. Also, only buy for planned immediate purchases.

Lost one once. That's on me and could happen with any GC.

Where does one procure those gift cards?

I tend to just buy refurbished/factory second/lightly used.

go to giftcardgranny.com to see aggregate listings. But look carefully, I filter out ebay (use only corporate resellers). Some higher end stuff does have good discount rates... essentially the more liquid the store (think target, walmart, etc) the less the discount.

Imagine if you saved 10% on everything you ever spent money on... It's the same as getting a 10% ROI. Amazing.

You're kidding right? Cmon man... http://www.giftcardgranny.com/store/home-depot/

11% off. Plus buy online (for pickup instore) and get another 1-4% back in rewards such as airline miles. How much have you spent there recently?

I save 100% on items I don't buy. Beat this!

I've been with someone who was paid out by a store for buying icecream, he saved 110%. We threw several cartons in the dumpster.

Walmart sucks

Alright. We buried the Africans and now moved on to the Jews. Who knew it would all come to this?

I recently discovered that I get rewards points with Verizon for which you can use to buy giftcards at %90...for those of you who may not have known...

I've been stealing a lot of stuff lately.
