One way to save money is to buy discounted gift cards for places you plan to shop. I’ve recommended this for years to save on Disney Gift Cards, but the same tips apply to every store/restaurant that you frequent that has gift cards available.
Raise.com offers discount gift cards for purchase as well as an opportunity for you to sell unwanted gift cards. You’ll find them for hundreds of different stores including Kroger, Walmart, Chili’s, DoorDash and more! Before you go out to a restaurant, retail store or shop online, look to see if there is a discount gift card available.
When you join through this link and verify your cell number, you’ll get $5 off your purchase of $20 or more. That’s an instant $5 you can save at a place you were already going to shop.
All gift cards on Raise.com are covered by their 100% money back guarantee. In the event that your gift card does not work, you will get a full refund up to 100 days from the date of purchase. This means that you can buy with confidence.
Create an account on Raise.com and visit the Brand Alerts section to create alerts for your favorite stores. You can set your price and discount range and it will email you when new cards are available. Be sure to list your local stores you frequent (grocery, gas, and restaurants), plus any places you might visit in the coming months.
Before you head out to spend money or purchase items online, check if Raise.com has a discounted gift card available. Many of the gift cards are delivered instantly and can be redeemed online or in person using the Raise app.
They have 1000’s of gift cards to 100’s of different merchants. Remember that since these cards are sold by individuals, they usually only have one of each available. Be sure to jump on any deal that you see.
When you join TopCashBack, they also offer cash back when you purchase select gift cards. Just head to the gift card section and browse. I see great deals on restaurants and retail stores in my area that I frequent.
