Buying discounted gift cards online

[JohnDaleswife]

Where are the best places to buy gift cards online? Discounted ones that is?

I have had success on raise.com. I buy discounted e gift cards for Target and use them to buy Disney gift cards online. If you look on retailmenot.com I think you can still find a coupon code for 5.00 off your first purchase on raise as well.

I have had excellent luck on cardpool.

I just made my first raise purchase with Target giftcards at 6.6%. As soon as Target allows us to purchase a Disney card online, I'll buy one with the 5% redcard discount.

Wooo Hooo...... Just ordered a $60 card for the Macaroni Grill for $51 from Cardpool. Using that and a $5 coupon our approximate $65 bill will come to $50.

I'll third Raise. We've had no problems with them, but always use the gift cards almost immediately after purchasing them. I know a couple of DISers have had issues with disappearing balances but said that Raise resolved the issues very quickly.

Another positive vote for raise. Ive gotten some duds-Chick fil a and Cheesecake factory but they were very responsive and I had a refund in 3-4 days.

Here's another positive vote for Raise. I recently had a problem with my purchase of over $1,000 in Best Western physical gift cards from Raise. Even after checking the balances on the Best Western site to verify that the funds were on the card, I had trouble using them when we checked into the hotel two weeks ago. Turns out the cards were deactivated before I purchased them because they were purchased using a stolen credit card. I emailed Raise with the issue that night, they responded the next morning that they were checking into it. Within 24 hours they told me that they were issuing me a full refund. The communication from Raise was outstanding, with emails being sent each step of the way letting me know what was happening. Although I probably won't purchase any more Best Western gift cards, I will continue to purchase other cards from Raise since I now know first hand what great customer service they provide and that they stand behind their guarantee.
