Have you discovered Raise yet? Buying gift cards through Raise.com is one of the most oft-used tools in my frugal arsenal. First of all, even without any promo codes at all, all of their gift cards are discounted. That means that when I pay with a gift card from Raise.com, I'm automatically saving money, even if I never clip another coupon or use another promo code. For stores that I frequent, like Walmart, Walgreen's, Home Depot, Southwest Airlines, Victoria's Secret, Whole Foods, Bed Bath & Beyond, etc., using gift cards that are already discounted is a no-brainer.
Right now you can get these discounts off these gift cards at Raise:
- JCPenney, up to 20% off
- Macy's, up to 13% off
- Regal Cinemas, up to 12% off
- Sears, up to 10% off
- Victoria's Secret, up to 10% off
- Bed Bath & Beyond, up to 8.5% off
- Home Depot, up to 8.2% off
- Lowe's, up to 7.2% off
- Southwest Airlines, up to 6.2% off
Paying for stuff with discounted gift cards just makes tons of frugal sense and is my favorite item on a list of no-brainer, low-effort ways to save money.
(And don't forget that if' you've got gift cards from stores that you never frequent, you can also sell them through Raise. You'll lose a little money on the transaction, but better to have the cash in your pocket than to be dragging around a gift card that you'll never use. We unloaded a few gift cards at non-kosher establishments that we had received through work this way, and are going to use the cash to treat ourselves to a fabulously expensive kosher dinner the next time we're in New York.)
