2012 Holiday Gift Ideas: Easy gifting with CardSwap #Giveaway

There are just some people that are really hard to shop for - what do you get for someone who already has everything? I find that gift cards is a great solution to this problem. More and more people are turning to gift cards as presents now, and many stores seem to have a rack of gift cards you can load up. I give gift cards all the time, especially to my parents. I just pick a store or restaurant that my parent really love going to (McDonalds for my dad, Winners for my mum) and I don't have to worry about anything else - they get to choose what they want at the store!

How about when you receive a gift card that you won't use? Do you usually re-gift it, or just hang onto it forever (like me)?

This is where Cardswap comes in.

Cardswap is the newest place to buy and sell gift cards. Why not trade in your unused gift cards for cash? All you have to do is enter into Cardswap.ca how much the gift card is worth, which store it's for and it shows you what amount they will pay you for it. After selling your gift cards, you can either buy another card you want, or take the money out into your Paypal account.

You can also purchase gift cards on Cardswap.ca, and  will earn points for each gift card you buy. When you collect 1,000 points, you can redeem that for $10 on your next gift card purchase or even withdraw the $10 into Paypal! There are no shipping fees associated with buying or selling your gift cards, and the service is very fast. I ordered a gift card and it took only about 2 business days for it to arrive.

WIN IT!

Cardswap is generously giving away a $25 of your choice to one lucky reader! The giveaway is open to Canadian residents only. Enter by filling out the Rafflecopter form below.
