Get $10 off $130 worth of gift cards at Raise: save money on your purchase before you even leave for the store

Buying gift cards through Raise and using them for regular shopping is a smart, low-impact, low-effort way to save money.  Think about it.  If you're buying a jacket at Lands' End, why not pay for your purchase with a $60 gift card that cost you $52?   If you're getting lingerie at Victoria's Secret, why not pay for it with a $35 gift card that cost you $31?  It's such a no-brainer to me.  I've been using discounted gift cards for years.  I recently became an affiliate of Raise.com, and I'm really impressed with their greater-than-other-sites discounts and high level of customer service.  Buying gift cards at a discount is adding an under-layer of money saving to every purchase.

Right now, you can get $10 off your $130 gift card purchase, when you click through this link and enter promo code MOM10 at checkout.  That's like getting an additional 8% off your purchase before you even buy anything, on top of the regular Raise gift card discounts.  The $130 minimum doesn't have to be on one gift card; it can be spread over several gift cards in one purchase.  You can use this code only one time, and it can't be stacked with other promo codes.

We'll be doing a lot of work around the house this summer, so I bought a Home Depot gift card.  The value is $154.00 and it was priced at $144.76 (6% off).  After I used promo code MOM10, my price dropped by another $10.00 to $134.76.   So before we even get in the car to drive to the store, we bought a $154 gift card for $134.76, saving nearly $20 or 12%, right out of the gate.  Of course, when we actually buy stuff at Home Depot, we'll be using coupons as well, but it's nice to start out your home improvement project with a layer of discounts before you've actually made your purchase.

(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.)
