Arbitrage your gift cards

There are millions of dollars' worth of unused store gift cards lying around. If you have one, you can sell or swap it at PlasticJungle.com. You can also buy gift cards at a discount averaging 15 percent off the card's face value. Sample deals: a $1,000 Tiffany gift card selling for $875; a $336 Lucky Brand Jeans card for $245. There's no risk—PlasticJungle verifies the balance on each card.
