Finding ways to buy gift cards for less than their face value—commonly known as buying "cheap" or discounted gift cards—can lead to instant savings of anywhere from 1% to 25%. Whether you are looking for personal use or a gift, there are several reliable avenues to secure these deals. 1. Wholesale Clubs (The "Gold Standard" for New Cards)

: You can frequently find $100 restaurant or retail bundles for $79.99 to $89.99 .

Warehouse clubs like Costco and Sam's Club are the most reliable sources for brand-new gift cards sold below face value.

: Sam's Club often offers deeper discounts on gaming and delivery apps, while Costco's restaurant bundles are a staple for saving up to 20% on dining out. 2. Specialized Secondary Marketplaces

: Look for high-demand names like Disney , Southwest Airlines , Uber/Uber Eats , and Chipotle .

Marketplaces dedicated to reselling unwanted gift cards offer some of the highest potential savings, particularly for less popular brands. Where to Buy Discounted Gift Cards | GiftCard Granny
