Missed Out Opportunities

Don't you hate it when you see a great opportunity but you don't have the money to take advantage of it?

A company in my city is selling store branded Visa gift cards on their website for 20% off.

If I had the funds, I would buy up a ton of gift cards and resell them for a profit. And it freakin ends Monday. Oh well, they probably would have limited the number I can buy anyway.

Most people are probably going to buy them just to save money. Smh

    You'll be surprised these aren't worth that much at all. Google "buy discounted gift cards" and you will find a ton of marketplace there where people sell their gift cards for small fraction of the value because they know they're not gonna use them anyway.

      Visa prepaid gift cards sell for a premium. It is just like cash. It is different than gift cards from specific retailers. I know plenty of places where I can easily cash out for up to 95 cents on the dollar, and I would have only spent 80 cents on the dollar to buy them.

      Another idea I had was to use the Visa gift cards to buy gas cards, then sell them to local contractors, moving companies, and taxi companies at 92 to 95 cents on the dollar to help them save a little on gas. Every penny counts for these guys.

    That's a pretty good offer. Place where I live charges around 5% of the total amount of the Visa Gift card which totally negates the concept of ' Gift' for me. Anyways if I had that legit opportunity,I would use my reward points to redeem the hell out of these cards.

    Simple solution: promote PPL offers for Visa and assorted gift cards. Much easier, and I speak from experience. No shipping involved. Just basic affiliate marketing.
