Pay $170, Get $200 plastic Sears Gift Card (or pay $85 to get $100) [updated]
Update: 10/27/14 – this got further discounted, now it’s a 15% discount…
Back to the eBay Deals we go where for a limited time you can get a $200 Sears plastic gift card for $170 (was $180) with free shipping. This is sold by GiftCardMall on eBay (they stock up the gift card displays in many brick and mortar stores). Limit 1 per buyer. The Sears website offers products from many other third-party/marketplace retailers as well – same ones you may find on Amazon, eBay, NewEgg, Best Buy, etc, so that’s one way to get some camera gear on discount. The gift card discount is effectively 10% (10% of $200 = you pay $180). As always, this is a limited time offer.
UPDATE: there is also a parallel promotion from GiftCardMall on eBay, pay $85 (was $90) to get a $100 Sears plastic gift card with free shipping. This one has a limited of two per eBay shopper. The savings percentage is the same 10%.
Blog-post updated at 6:35pm ET.
TIP: these type of gift card deals can be useful when purchasing products that rarely get discounted…
