Do any of you guys know if there is anywhere that sells Amazon gift cards other than directly on Amazon.com? I'm trying to work towards controlling my spending by using gift cards and pre-paying my purchases to keep better track, and of course it's always nice to get a small deal on cards (B&M stores sometimes have rewards points and things for gift cards). I figure I can always buy the cards with my Paypal Debit card and earn the cash back, so I'd be getting like 1.5% cash back, in addition to controlling my spending.

If any of you guys know, please fill a Goomba in =)

In my area at least, the Coinstar machines will waive the fee if you put the money on a gift card. Amazon is included. I guess that only helps you if you've got a bunch of loose change, or if you want to take some of your cash to the bank and switch it out for change.
 
Ah yes, I have seen those. I don't have that many coins to turn it though :) but it is something I nearly forgot about. Thanks for reminding me.

I may try that in the future just for kicks.
