Can you break the math down here for me, because I'm curious how others do the accounting. I buy $100 eBay GC from Target for $95 I use this $100 GC to pay for the $100 TRU GC getting sold for $85. So now I've spent $95 at Target and have flipped that into a $100 TRU Card, and I have $15 left on my original eBay GC? What do I do with those dollars and how do I accurately calculate the total discount on the TRU GC? At some point you're also accounting for the 8% eBay bucks on the front end as a discount as well?

You walk out of Target having spent $95 for a $100 gift card. When you buy the TRU card for $85, you have only paid 95% of the total cost, 85*.95 = $80.75. Subtract the ebay bucks you receive (-$6.80) and you come to a total of $73.95. You will still have a balance remaining on the ebay gift card as well. $15.

This is a matter of preference (and simplicity), but I stop at $80.75 since I have not used the $6.80 eBay bucks. If eBay bucks program is cancelled tonight I loose my access to that $6.80. Next month when I use $6.80 eBay bucks to buy another $100 TRU gc for $85, I can subtract $6.80 from that purchase price 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay I follow that in theory, but if you do that a lot, don't you end up with a bunch of various GIft Cards with $10, $15, $20 left over on them every time you do an additional rollover to a new discounted card? I understand the purpose, but it seems like a lot to keep track of if you're doing it large scale. Am I missing something in my understanding ?

Target $95 -> $100 eBay = 5% discount off face value (so 95% of cost) eBay $85 (at 95% of value equaling $80.75 ) -> TRU $100 = $80.75 for $100 TRU I ignore completely the eBay bucks on the front end. I only account for them at time of use, like all non-immediate rewards/discounts. The eBay gift cards can just be used up later - essentially $15 eBay for $14.25 "real $" Edit: Damn it, I am too slow or you bunch of barbarians are too quick for me <-- old git Edited March 23, 2016 by Battrax YOU ARE TOO FAST! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JLEW700 Posted March 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2016 Should we start a new topic for GC math so that we can get back to the daily deals? 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andystj Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) 36 minutes ago, chrisdojo said: it only let me do 3 max. I got 3 Toys R Us and 3 Babies R Us from PayPal Digital Gifts and 2 Gift Card Mall Toys R Us (via Mail). Gift Card Mall TRU GCs for $85 are listed separately in Deals. I was surprised that it let me get both Toys R Us and Babies R Us from PayPal Digital Gifts. I think they forgot to put a blocker on for a few minutes. It usually caps all discounted transactions from Paypal Digital Gifts at 3 per 10 day period. Went back for a few more, but no dice now. They definitely added a blocker. To verify, I attempted to purchase a TGI Fridays card, and it also got the error. Love to get the eBaby Bucks Bonus, but forgot the Target GC 5% inception.

IMHO, you need to look at it like this: You spent $95 and received $100 in TRU credit, $15 in Ebay credit and $6.80 in Ebay bucks. Best way I can spin this is you get $123.80 in various credit for $95. You could say that this would make the TRU GC $95-$15-$6.80 = $73.20 - but from a cash flow perspective you're still out $95. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all just a matter of accounting and how you handle it. As long as you're not taking the ebay bucks into account on multiple transactions (crediting them to you when you get them and going against total cost of purchase when you use them) you're fine. A more simplified way of looking it is: Spend $95 real dollars to get: $100 TRU GC $15 ebay GC $6.80 ebay bucks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
