Buy Discounted Gift Cards Before Shopping

The Problem

You're paying full price for purchases at stores you already planned to shop at.

The Hack

Before shopping at a specific store, check Raise.com or CardCash for discounted gift cards. Buy a $100 Target gift card for $92. Use it at Target. Instant 8% savings.

Why It Works

People sell unwanted gift cards below face value. You buy them at a discount and spend them at full value — guaranteed savings before any other deals or coupons.

Pro Tips

• Stack with cashback apps and coupons for triple savings
• Buy right before shopping — don't stockpile cards
• Restaurants, retailers, and grocery stores all available
• Average discount: 5-15% depending on the store
