So it begins - Make and save money when you buy and sell gift cards

[katykicker]

Well here we go, the bootcamp has begun! The first post is now live over on the blog here:

http://blog.themoneyshed.co.uk/mone...-save-money-when-you-buy-and-sell-gift-cards/

I'd love to hear how you get on with this particular moneymaking/saving method.

Please do let me know!


I've got a couple of Christmas gift cards that are just not really suitable for me (clothes for young people stores...!) so I'm looking forward to making a few extra pounds today!

Don't forget you can get a £5 discount on a £10 gift card (which will already be discounted). You could buy a £10 gift card for around £4! Just download the Zeek app here and use the code 2ZZA5J!

Is it only physical cards you can sell on Zeek or can you also sell e-vouchers e g Amazon codes?

 

[dollydebz]

I like this - I use Amazon a lot and have just bought a £20 voucher for £13 (including the discount offer).
I can see myself using this site on a regular basis - thank you ;D

Amazon vouchers will be fast to go I reckon, need to be quick.

 

[katykicker]

Hey [member=4925]The_JinJ[/member] don't worry they stock so regularly if they do go you'll get some back in no time!

 

[katykicker]

Hey [member=5562]dollydebz[/member] that is great - what a bargain! X

 

[cofito]

Use this quite often.

When ever I am planning to go away or visiting somewhere I have a look at what is on offer as if eating out it is great to save an extra £ or two.

I tend to check it regularly as when they have certain good deals in I grab them quick and then have them for a rainy day

You can do amazon codes but they check before they allow your item to go live on the site. So they check gift cards have credit and amazon codes haven't been used.

I love this about them [member=519]compingmad[/member] - you can be confident not to be ripped off!

Can you only do this if you have a smartphone? Is there a desktop version available or am I able to download the App to my computer at all?

I went via your blue link [member=1241]Katy[/member] and got a different promo code to the one in the Op.

Also, will there be one standard thread on here or will it be better to follow the Bootcamp from your blog every day. There already seems to be one or two bootcamp threads, so could get confusing.

Many thanks in advance for all the time and effort you have put into this too, hope everyone benefits hugely

Hi [member=4097]Knopfler[/member] don't worry both codes should be mine, there is some sort of account confusion I have got to try and sort out!

There will be a thread for each day that there is a new post - and it will have the same title as the blog post title for that particular day.

There is also a thread for registering your interest and a thread for general questions.

I'll see everyone wherever they reply so if it gets a bit confusing nobody should be missed and no questions should go unanswered.

I believe there is a Desktop page for Zeek too Zeek.me it seems to be

You're so welcome - I hope that it helps to motivate everyone!

Just noticed that Zeek is on Quidco too, happy days We buy from Amazon a lot so will deffo be checking out this site first.

 

[Knopfler]

For anyone else who does not have a smartphone to download the app:

Click on the blue 'Sign In' box at the top of the page - doesn't matter if you have not registered yet

It will now give you the options to Log in with Facebook, Twitter or Google Play.

Underneath this is a blue underlined link saying 'Or sign in with your Email'

I clicked on this latter one, entered my email address. I then got an instant email link to create my account.

Only took minutes. Have just received another email from them with my £5 off - to use by midnight TOMORROW.

Hope this helps

Amazon cards go fast!

 

[mollysmum64]

Thanks [member=920]katykicker[/member] brilliant idea. Just a quick question have you or anyone else using the site, had problems with gift cards not arriving via the post (lost or stolen in post etc) ?

 

[RedAlix]

How long do you get before the £5 discount runs out?

 

[Sherliarty]

Got a £15 whsmith card for £8! Yay. Its a physical one so will let you know whether I get it or not. Date specified was 12th.

I've had at least 3 or 4 £50 ones, they come recorded delivery [member=1365]mollysmum64[/member]

 

[katykicker]

I don't know 100% - there is a contact us tab area within the app where you can ask a question and they do reply fast (I was being an idiot with a Starbucks gift card).

It should stay on there until you use it.

The ones they email are time limited however x
