Gift cards are easy to give and fun to receive, but another use for them is often overlooked. To save even more money during the year, during the holidays and for everyday shopping, you should buy a discounted gift card. Here's how....

Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

1. To buy a discounted gift card, you can visit several sites on the Internet. Ideally, choose a company that offers you substantial discounts on the widest variety of store and restaurant gift cards.

   Note that discounted gift cards can be delivered to your door, with NO SHIPPING charges and no taxes. Remember that gift cards are considered a service and taxes are not charged until a purchase is made with the card.

2. Visit the Better Business Bureau online at www.bbbonline.org. Research whether complaints may or may not have been made against a discounted gift card website before performing any transactions.

3. Create an account at the website and log in. Use a search box and enter the name of any store cards you're interested in.

4. Check any discounted gift card website often as new cards are coming in all the time. Act quickly if you see a card you're interested in before it's sold out.

   Buy discounted gift cards periodically during the year and only use them on sale items, if possible, to enjoy the greatest savings.

Tips & Warnings

• An excellent time to visit the site would be immediately following the Christmas holidays as there may be a surge of customers selling their unwanted gift cards to this website.
