FP clearly states ebay gift cards. It works on everything else.

There an expiration for the $5 off promo anywhere?

Trying to buy a $50 BB card and it's asking to send a text or call to verify to a phone I no longer have and that isn't even the primary number on my account. Really?

To combine with the 6% eBay bucks, it seems to need to be $50 for a single item after the $5 is taken off.  A $55 gift card would've been great for that, but there isn't an option there for it.

45 minutes later and no go. PayPal security keeps blocking even though I just sold/bought items. I can buy other items but not ones sold by PayPal Digital Gifts. Their suggestion- pay with a credit card with no PayPal. I've bought as least 10 gift cards before with no issues. Weird.

Yup, had to buy a $100 gift card to stack the 6% ebay bucks and $5 off.

 
It's better than nothing I guess. Now that I won't hit Elite Plus or even Elite this year, I might as well keep on buying BB gift cards at discounted prices.

You could still buy gift cards with gift cards at Best Buy right?

I need some PSN cards too. Looking to buy the Rise of Iron dlc and the premium pass for BF1
 
Its YMMV, though I haven't had problems buying 3rd party GCs in a BBY store with a BBY GC. 

Just remember that you cannot use eBay GCs to buy 3rd party GCs anymore (physical or digital).

Anyone keep getting the following errors, or know any work arounds for this?

"The item you've selected was not added to your cart. Please try again."

"Item(s) in your cart are not available in the quantity you originally requested. We have updated your shopping cart to reflect the amount that is currently available. Please review these changes before proceeding to checkout."

 
Thanks, OP.  Getting a little PSN credit in the wallet before my 20% off coupon from PLAY2016 comes next week in order to maximize my savings.  Between the two promotions I can get $60 in PSN value for $45 actual dollars.  Nice.  :D/

 
I havent seen this kind of sale on only digital giftcards. Must be that people aren't buying from them now that they cant use eBay gift cards or use general promotions on them.
 
Not a good time for me, as I already spent a lot for Labor Day. Besides, I'll wait for the Rite Aid deals, where it's at least $8 back per $50 spent.

I think you can't use eBay gc to buy eBay gc but you can use them to buy other gc off eBay right ?
 
You can get the 6% eBay bucks to trigger on 3 x $25 gift cards (same brand), too, but then you have to figure if that's better for you than just doing 2 x $50 gift cards in separate transactions and getting the $5 discount twice.

3 x $25 - $5 = $70

$70 * 0.06 = $4.20 in eBay bucks

=>

$70 for $79.20* (11.62% off)

1 x $50 - $5 = $45

$45 * 0.02 = $0.90 in eBay bucks

x 2

=>

$90 for $101.80* (11.59% off)

On the $95 for $100 Groupon ...

1 x $95 - $5 = $90

$90 * 0.06 = $5.40 in eBay bucks

=>

$90 for $105.40* (14.6% off)

Buying a $100 Gift Card is not a better option, though.

1 x $100 - $5 = $95

$95 * 0.06 = $5.70 in eBay bucks

=>

$95 for $105.70* (10.1% off)

If you like Domino's, then that seems to be a good deal, too.

2 x $45 - $5 = $85

$85 * 0.06 = $5.10 in eBay bucks

=>

$85 for $105.10* (19.1% off)

I got mine in minutes.

In my case,in the past it went into a Spam folder, and was instantly deleted since it wasn't my primary email account that it was sent to.  If you bought one and didn't get your code, check your Spam folder (and make sure your assigned email's Spam folder doesn't auto-delete), then contact them and have the code re-sent

Got my codes 20 minutes after order was processed. Got $50 of PSN credit to get 4 games on their Indie sale plus Indigo Prophecy, and $30 of EShop credit to get Phoenix Wright 6 on Friday. Thanks OP!

 
Do the Xbox digital gift cards work for me to buy a physical item on the microsftostore.com website? For example: can I buy a $50 digital Xbox gift card from eBay through this promotion and then use that towards buying an Xbox One S console?

 
FYI, you can mix smaller card denominations and still get this deal as long as they total $50 (I got two $20 cards and a $10 from 3 different retailers).

Damn, I was wondering why it wouldn't accept my giftcard. When did that change happen?

Can anyone confirm whether or not you can use the Best Buy GC in-store? Or is it online-only?

The answer is yes, but I had a YMMV glitch yesterday.

PayPal Gifts sends you an email that says "Click Here To Get your Code" and when you do, you get a page with a barcode and a redemption code and pin. The barcode is for in-store and code and pin is for the site. Usually this is no problem to just show the barcode on my phone, so I never bother to print this out. For whatever reason, the barcode was not showing and I could not get it to show in any browser I had on my phone. (Didn't help that two customers back was one of those extremely loud "my time is the most important thing in the world" people either.) I ended up loading the redemption code and pin into the Gyft app and that kicked me out a barcode and all was ok. I don't know if this was just a weird phone thing (likely) but if you are like me and don't print stuff out unless you absolutely have to, just keep that in mind.

 
Dammit, that's two eBay deals I've missed in two days.  They can't seem to stay active long enough for me to get off of work.

Bummer. I was going to put in another order. I ended up doing 6 separate orders. I picked up $300 in BB gift cards for $270 cash not bad. I spent half of it buying food/gas/psn gift cards and I'll be using the rest to pre-order FIFA 17, Mafia III and BF1
