Good morning everyone! This post is a public service announcement that is probably way overdue, but better late than never. If you have been following Doctor of Credit, Frequent Miler, or Miles to Memories over the past 1-2 months, you are probably aware of all the gift card (and egift card) deals that have been announced this holiday season. Every gift card deal usually has a stated limit on the number of gift cards you can purchase. The best deals usually have a limit of 1, whereas the less popular deals have a higher limit of 3-5 gift cards.
In this post, I will show you why it is better to purchase every egift card individually, rather than all at once. The data in this post is solely based on my experience purchasing egift cards from PayPal Digital Gifts, an automated service where you can purchase egift cards directly from PayPal on eBay. In the example below, I purchased a $100 eBay egift card for $95 during one of their sales. I bought and paid for the below eBay egift card on 12/23 at 10:22pm PST.
Quick tip: you can roll your savings by purchasing an eBay egift card with a previously bought eBay egift card. Keep rolling the $5 savings every time there is a new eBay egift card deal.
Help a blogger: I would greatly appreciate your support if you use my eBay affiliate link to purchase anything on eBay, just click the eBay logo in the sidebar. Thank you!
