Over the next few months, I have several upcoming events where I would like to bring a gift. The recipients prefer gift cards.
I've never purchased gift cards from any of the discount giftcard websites. I seem to remember reading in the past that some of these discount sites are more reliable and "honest" than the others.
Do any of you buy from these sites? can you vouch for any of them or do you have any that you would advise us to stay away from?
Also, for example, if a site has only cards available in $50 denominations, but you want to give a gift of $200 - can you purchase 4 and take them to the retailer to have them exchanged for the higher value? or is that just crazy talk?
I can lower the price a bit not only via using my Citi More 3% CB card, but I assume there are no portal payouts (?) (I gotta check around).
Thanks much!
