If you want to buy gift cards, here are some ways to get them for cheap

Like last year’s holiday season, it is still somewhat of a gamble to buy gift cards this season just in case some businesses go belly up.

Add to that the fact that many of them have fees, expiration dates and other drawbacks.

But if you do plan to buy them, there are many places to get vastly discounted gift cards online.

Here are some of the options:

DFWBid is an auction site for gift cards, and offers the opportunity to bid on gift cards and get them at extremely reduced prices.

Restaurant.com has somewhat of a limited selection, but offers the chance to get $25 or $10 gift cards to local restaurants for $10 or $4, respectively — and sometimes less.

Plastic Jungle allows you to buy, sell or trade gift cards, promising a savings of up to 40 percent.

Plastic Jungle was among four online gift card exchange options DealNews detailed in a post earlier this year. Check that site for the roundup.

And Gift Card Granny is a comparison shopping site for discounted gift cards. 

As noted by the folks at Coupon Sherpa, at Gift Card Granny you can save more than 50 percent off the cards’ value.
