Michelle — Sat, 21 May 2011 15:39:02 +0000

Time to win something, don’t you think? The weather isn’t cooperating with the usual Spring warm-up across much of the US, so it stands to reason that we all could use a win of some sort if we’re going to be forced to keep our sweaters and Uggs on. Today’s giveaways get us out of the everyday: Vegas getaways, free housecleaning for you and a friend (!), win an Amazon.com Gift Card and more.

Good luck, and here’s to brighter skies in June!

Save Up to 5% Off at Target Every Day

Michelle — Thu, 12 May 2011 17:23:09 +0000

Plastic Jungle currently sells Target GiftCards and Target e-GiftCards (eCODEs) at up to 5% off.

Bring on the savings.

Five percent?! You think, “That’s hardly worth my time.” Well, when you compound a 5% discount with the hot deals Target throws out online, you’ll have great stuff delivered to your door. Clever shoppers might already have the hook-up with Target Mobile — a set of Apps and text alerts (across platforms) that keeps users informed as to the hottest Target deals and Target sales.

Currently, Target.com has free shipping on orders over $50 – which is offered without the use of any promo code, and applies to merchandise across departments.

Also on right now at Target.com: 15% off purchases of $125 or more on select furniture and select rugs through May 14, 2011. And don’t forget the furniture already on Target’s Clearance pages.

Target Clearance – Save up to 65% on select items. For example, check out this bargain table and chairs. It’s at 50% off… there is a small cost for shipping this oversize piece, but you’re not lugging it home, and the cost of the oversize shipping might be covered by your 5% discounted gift card. Target Clearance is huge, and covers all departments, including swimwear for the family, Health & Beauty, Bed & Bath, Kitchen… there are thousands of items in Target’s online Clearance pages.

Daily Deals – Now Target offers online merchandise that’s “priced to amaze”. See the official Daily Deal as well as fantastic bargains at what seems to be 20% off full retail or more. (Well, yes, I do need a new digital camera at $35–on sale today. Send it on over with free shipping.)

Consider checking out the Target.com Coupon Page: to your 5% savings on your Target Gift Card, take home another discount on your favorite name-brand products you purchase regularly.

Free Stuff at Target.com

Interested in winning a $500 Target Gift Card? It doesn’t take much if you shop at Target regularly: You can write a product review and you could win a $500 Target Gift Card. See Target Gift Card giveaway official rules for details.

And finally, Target is going the extra mile to get Target.com visitors free product samples. How fun is that?

What is it you regularly purchase at Target? If you’re a regular Target customer, it’s a no-brainer to purchase a discounted gift card that over time, could save you double-digit dollars.

Want to know what other discount eCODEs (discounted eGift Cards) are on offer at Plastic Jungle? You’ll find a complete list, along with purchasing instructions and current discounts offered, on the Plastic Jungle site. You can purchase an eCODE and use it immediately on your online purchases, and at some stores, even at the store itself.

Fresh Improvements to Plastic Jungle Get You Top Deals on Gift Cards, Fast

Michelle — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 21:07:13 +0000

In case you’re wondering, Yes! We at Plastic Jungle hear your feedback and work to improve the site every day.

We’ve got some new website enhancements to help you come to a quick decision about which gift card will be the one for you.

Who will have the best discount?

Sort Your Gift Card Searches

Now, after you perform a search for a card, say you choose a category from the pull-down menu on the left, you can search for the biggest discount by clicking on the “Discount” heading. Automatically, the cards with the biggest discounts, no matter which merchant they come from, are listed at the top of the page.

Alternately, you can adjust how the results appear by toggling the “Merchant” heading to see the merchants in a-z order or z-a order, or by Gift Card “Value”, “Discount”, or purchase “Price”.

Each merchant’s page, displaying which gift cards are available for purchase, now also has that functionality, and you can sort cards by price, discount, or value.

Price is the cost of the gift card. Remember, what you see is what you get. Plastic Jungle does not charge shipping or handling fees.
Discount is the percentage off you’ll receive from the full value of the gift card.
Value is the full value of the gift card.

If you’re wondering what the BEST DEAL on Plastic Jungle is at any point in time, go ahead and click the button. Then sort by discount (arrow up) and the most discounted cards will come to the top of the list.

Finding an eCODE – a Discounted Electronic Gift Card – Is Now Much Easier

Right from the Plastic Jungle home page, you can click through to see what stores are offering eCODES at the moment.

Just look for the following link, right below the button on the Plastic Jungle home page:

View All Electronic Gift Cards

With eCODEs you can take advantage of online savings opportunities right away: as soon as your payment is processed, the eCODE is emailed to you. You can pay for items in your online cart at the selected merchant AND possibly still use valid discounts or free shipping codes.

When you purchase eCODEs on Plastic Jungle, it will be sent to the email address you registered in your Plastic Jungle account. Please add customerservice@plasticjungle.com to your email address book to ensure delivery. Shop with the card on the merchant’s website, just like you would use a regular gift card.

What update would you like to see on Plastic Jungle? How can we make your experience buying gift cards, exchanging gift cards, and donating gift cards easier and more fun? Let us know at blog@plasticjungle.com

Top Ten Gift Cards You Loved in February, 2011

Michelle — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 05:59:55 +0000

February saw the Superbowl, the Oscars, Valentine’s Day, and Presidents’ Day all packed into a few short weeks. Plus, a few frozen moments across the country kept shoppers inside and online, no doubt.

Many of the usual favorite gift cards showed up in February’s Top Ten, plus a very conspicuous hanger-on at #11, giving hope to all girlfriends, wives, and mothers out there for something a little more than a card.

I’m thinking the bridal business might be busy this year, because TIFFANY & CO came in at #11 on the sales chart. (Right now, there are no discounted Tiffany & Co gift cards for sale on Plastic Jungle. You can set a Tiffany & Co alert to be notified via email when gift cards become available.)

Top Ten Gift Cards You Loved in January 2011

Robyn — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 14:15:16 +0000

Saving money is not always easy. Many of us have to weigh a cost of time : benefit ratio. It’s got to be simple, foolproof, and secure. We do our best to make the gift card-swap process as easy as it can be. Plus, Plastic Jungle offers a few ways to redeem your gift card. You can exchange your unused gift card for an Amazon.com Gift Card; for cold, hard cash; to fund a PayPal account; and you can even exchange your gift card for Facebook Credits.

More stores are taking PayPal as a method of payment on their websites. For example, the Abercrombie & Fitch network of clothing stores that also includes Hollister Co., and Gilly Hicks. While you can’t use the same gift card to pay at all three sites, you can use a PayPal account as payment at checkout at each of these stores. It becomes really efficient to exchange a gift card for instant PayPal account funding on Plastic Jungle and check out at Hollister in the same day you make the gift card swap.

Other online merchants who accept PayPal as payment include: Sears, Walmart, Best Buy, eBay, newegg.com, Delta Airlines, 1800Flowers.com, Zappos and many more. The PayPal Store Directory will give you a complete list of retailers who accept PayPal for payment.

Check the Plastic Jungle “Sell Gift Cards” page to see what the exchange value will be for your unused gift card.
