How to Order Discounted Gift Cards - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Do you know you can buy discounted gift cards to many of your favorite stores and restaurants? I like to call it instant savings or no-brainer savings. Nobody is going to know you did not pay full price for that gift card. If you are giving it as a gift, the recipient is going to have no idea you did not pay full price. One of my favorite websites for finding discounted gift cards is PlasticJungle.com. When you go to their website, there is an option in the upper right hand corner, it will say, Buy gift Cards. When you click on that, all of the available stores and restaurants that have discounted gift cards, that list will pop up, and you can just browse it alphabetically. You will see things like American Eagle Outfitters, there is discounted gift cards available for 12% off. Anthropologie, 15% off. And if we scroll down, a store everybody is familiar with and probably shops at least once a year, JC Penney, at 15% off. So if we click on JC Penney we will see all of the different cards available, in the odd amounts that they are in. And I suggest if you are going to be shopping there, go ahead and buy it, you will have it in your wallet, and pair that when JC Penney is having a big sale. Even better, add one of those coupons that they frequently put in their newspaper inserts, and you will really maximize your savings. A few words of wisdom about discounted gift cards: first of all the inventory changes daily, so get in the habit of checking it, I tell people at least once a week. And go ahead and buy the gift cards for any stores or restaurants you know you might be visiting in the upcoming weeks. Number two, there are e-cards available and those are for shopping online only. So make sure when you are looking at a discounted gift card if you intend to shop online that it is an e-card, if you intend to shop at a store, that it is your regular standard plastic gift card. And then finally, the catch, if there is a catch to any of this, they do take about one week to arrive in the mail, so my suggestion is, visit PlasticJungle today so you can shop and save next week.
