We’ve all been there.  Someone gave you a gift card and you went to use it but somehow your purchase was for less than the amount on the card.

Rather than being stuck with a small amount on a gift card that ends up in the bottom of your purse (or worse, lost), you can sell your gift card to Plastic Jungle – when you do, discount gift cards are born.

Discount gift cards are a win-win.

Maybe someone gave you a high value gift card for a major purchase and it cost substantially less than you expected.  Now you have a gift card with $32 on it.  You can sell your gift card to Plastic Jungle and get a PayPal deposit, Amazon.com gift card via email, or cashier’s check for up to 92% of the balance (value depends on the gift card brand). When you sell your gift card to Plastic Jungle discount gift cards are born.  Selling your gift card is a nice way to help someone else find discount gift cards for a purchase they are hoping to make.  You’re freeing up the cash stuck on your gift card and turning it into cash AND you’re helping someone else save on their purchase, too.

Discount gift cards save time.

You could spend 20-30 more minutes in the store digging through the clearance section hoping to find something you actually would put to use that also happens to fall in your price range.  Or, you could choose that your time is worth more than those remaining dollars on your gift card and sell your gift card to Plastic Jungle.

Discount gift cards make nice presents.

Does anyone else remember the Sesame Street episode when Bert and Ernie each gave up something they enjoyed to give each other something they knew the other wanted?  If you know a friend frequents a store (or would love to have a reason to go back to a particular store), consider giving them discount gift cards as a thoughtful way to express you pay attention to their favorite things.
