If Plastic Jungle discount gift cards had a voice, what kind of stories do you think they would tell?

Inspired by Marcel the Shell with Shoes On by Jenny Slate and Dean Fleischer-Camp, imagine what it would be like to interview Plastic Jungle gift cards…

How do gift cards end up at Plastic Jungle?

Many of us were first purchased at a specific store as a gift for a birthday, wedding, or special occasion.   Others of us were bought from a gift card display at a grocery store, pharmacy, or discount retailer  – like WalMart or Target.  We were stored away into a gift card holder, gift card card, or small gift card box until we were eventually given away.  While most of us received a smile when we were unwrapped, we never ended up being put to use.  For months, we ended up living inside a warm pocket or a cute purse until one day we were shipped to Plastic Jungle.

What are your dreams?

We want to be used to our full potential.  A few us were partially used and then sent to Plastic Jungle while others of us have been carrying around the same balance for months.  We all just want to help someone make a purchase so that they can be happy.

How does it feel to be called “discount” gift cards?

Frankly, it is an honor.  When we were all sold as regular gift cards, we were neglected and under-utilized.  As a discount gift card we are all more likely to be bought and put to use.  It’s great being a discount gift card because we get to help people make a purchase and we get to help them save money.  It’s like we make them double-happy.

If you could meet anyone who would it be?

Oou!  Hands down, we would all love to meet a coupon.  Coupons are our envy because coupons were created to bring discounts to people.  We bring discounts to people because our original owner could not find a purpose for us.

Do you want to say anything to our readers?

If you have unused gift cards hanging around your home or in your car, please sell them to Plastic Jungle so they can be given a second chance to live out their dream.

Our friends at DailyFeats put out this announcement last week… we wanted to make sure you saw it too

Please let us know what you think.  And start checking in your positive actions – saving money with discounted gift cards as well as selling / exchanging / donating your gift cards can bring you even more value now!

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 3, 2010

Managing your money and trading in your gift cards became a lot more fun and rewarding today, as the innovative positive-action site DailyFeats announced a pioneering partnership with the web’s largest secured gift card exchange Plastic Jungle to help people discover, share, and earn monetary rewards for actions that strengthen their wallets and help them improve their lives.

DailyFeats is a social platform for positive actions that support the body, mind, home, and community; its members earn points and rewards for the positive actions – or feats – they complete and check in. Members of DailyFeats’ private beta, now including Plastic Jungle users, can check in their feats online at DailyFeats.com or from their mobile phones via SMS, and then share those actions both at DailyFeats and throughout their social networks. By offering users the opportunity to earn rewards for a wide range of positive feats, DailyFeats and its partners seek to encourage people to live as well as they possibly can.

Through the Plastic Jungle marketplace and its proprietary payments applications, users can sell unredeemed gift cards for up to 92% of the verified gift card balance or buy gift cards to their favorite stores at up to 30% off. Plastic Jungle will now directly sponsor two specific feats at DailyFeats related to trading and donating gift cards, boosting the point value of those feats.

DailyFeats members and Plastic Jungle users collect points each time they complete one of these sponsored actions, or any of the hundreds of other feats available at DailyFeats.com, allowing them to unlock access to a suite of rewards from partners like 1-800-FLOWERS, American Airlines®, Marriott®, Staples, and many more, plus over 170,000 rewards from local merchants across the country.

“We’re excited to be teaming up with Plastic Jungle,” said Morley Ivers, COO of DailyFeats, “because our missions align so well. DailyFeats and Plastic Jungle share the common goal of enabling people to improve their lives; together we’ll help people find the motivation and tools they need to take control of their finances, one step at a time. Plastic Jungle is the latest organization to join DailyFeats’ coalition of companies, all of which are alike in their desire to make a meaningful difference in the world by encouraging people to take positive actions in their daily lives.”

Approximately $30 billion in gift cards are sitting unredeemed in sock drawers across America, according to recent estimates. “Imagine the difference we can make if even a fraction of that money makes it back into consumers’ wallets, or goes to support worthy charities,” added Kristin Donelson, Vice President of Marketing for Plastic Jungle. “DailyFeats and Plastic Jungle will help make that happen.”

DailyFeats will launch publicly in 2011; meanwhile, it’s available for free at http://www.dailyfeats.com, where new visitors can sign up to join its ongoing private beta.
