Does anyone purchase discount gift cards?
I was searching swagbucks website the other day and ran across a discount gift card website. Has anyone ever used these before? If you have please let me know as I'm very interested in trying it after I did a little math and stacked up the savings and earnings......
For example my DH only wears Levi jeans and the website had gift cards for JC Penny's that were 15.6% off - $106.94 gift card for $90.30 plus earning 2SB/$1 spent on the gift card and putting it on my cc for 1% cash bask. Then turn around and use the gift card on JC Penny.com, going through swagbucks website, to get an additional 5 points/$1 spent.
So...pay $90.30 for a gift card and get the following:
$106.94 gc buying power
180 SB - $1.80 for buying the gc
$0.90 cash back on the cc
415 SB - $4.51 for the actual purchase at JC Penny with the gc
Total - $114.15
Is this wrong thinking? Are there better websites than Raise.com (the one I found on swagbucks)
with better discounts?
Any ideas, information, experiences, other websites would be greatly appreciated!!!2021 Goals:

I haven't bought any from anywhere but I ran across a site last week and I want to say it was also Swagbucks. I believe the name was Giftcards dot com. I know it's been around a long time and the one you mentioned I've never heard of. Not to say it's not reputable just that I hadn't heard of it.
Giftcards dot com might be wrong. Whatever it was does the same as the one you mentioned. Look around on Swagbucks a little more.Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.
