Get $ 15 Free If You Buy Your First $ 50 Amazon Gift Card Today
I am a big fan of buying myself gift cards.
While it obviously doesn’t make sense to fiddle with a bunch of gift cards, there will be promotions from time to time in the stores I like to go to where you get something extra if you buy the card. That’s when it’s worth it. Like today, Amazon is offering customers $ 15 for a $ 50 gift card, assuming you are the new buyer of the gift card.
As part of the promotion, you must purchase a $ 50 Amazon digital gift card . When you do, enter promo code 19GIFTCARD at checkout and you will receive a $ 15 promo coupon within a few days (make sure you get this confirmation before completing your purchase).
This means you can buy a gift card for a friend and still get $ 15 yourself. Or, if you’re like me, you can spend $ 50 and get $ 65 worth of purchasing power on Amazon since you buy this gift card for yourself.
Since I live in the city and don’t have a car, I’ve become a huge fan of Whole Foods delivery, which will inevitably spend my $ 65 on, probably tomorrow to be honest.
If you ever do this or buy something on Amazon, then this is not a problem.
If you’re not an Amazon fan, I recommend keeping an eye out for similar deals in places you love to shop. In particular, during the holidays, many retailers run similar promotions ( like this one from Target ) where you get a $ 5 to $ 10 bonus on your gift card purchase. While these deals are great for buying gifts, they are also good for saving money on shopping for you.
Edited to add : This seems to work for some people, but not others. Before completing the transaction, make sure that the code actually works for you (you will see a gray confirmation box, as well as a note that the $ 15 promotions will appear in your account in a few days). To take advantage of this promotion, you must become a new gift card buyer.
