\"giftcards\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love to give and receive gift cards. \u00a0The cheapskate in me loves that I can save money while giving a gift a loved one can use. \u00a0The new regulations on gift cards<\/a> make them a great gift to give since the receiver has plenty of time to use the card for something they really would enjoy. Here are a few ways to find gift cards at great prices.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Buy Them Online <\/strong>- You can buy, sell or trade gift cards on websites such as Plastic Jungle<\/a> and ABC Gift Cards<\/a> where you can get gift cards up to 50% off. You can also check out auction sites such as eBay. Be sure to check out the seller's rating so you don't get fooled into buying a\u00a0phony gift\u00a0card.<\/li>\n
  2. Check Out Warehouse and Club Stores<\/strong> - If your a member to a warehouse store such as BJ's, you're in luck. These stores often sell gift cards at discount prices. \u00a0I found some great last\u00a0minute gift cards at Costco on Christmas Eve! Not paying full price for gift cards that made teenagers smile is major a score in my book.<\/li>\n
  3. Swagbucks<\/strong> - Over a year ago now I signed up for Swagbucks<\/a> which is a site gives you points for doing your normal internet surfing. \u00a0You are able to\u00a0accrue\u00a0points (called Swagbucks) and cash them in for gifts like gift cards. You can earn extra points by doing simple\u00a0surveys and\u00a0participating\u00a0in polls. I've been racking up points since I downloaded the toolbar. You can also take polls and\u00a0surveys\u00a0to earn more points.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
