Amazon Flash Sale: 20% off 3rd Party Gift Cards Starting Now!
Starting at 9am ET today, Amazon is selling a ton of gift cards at a very generous 20% discount. It looks like there will be many new gift cards on sale released throughout the day with Prime members getting first dibs. I expect these gift cards will sell out fast, so if there is a particular merchant you are planning to purchase, I suggest being at your computer the moment the gift card goes on sale. This is one of the better promotions that has been added to TPG's Guide to Amazon Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals.
Discounted Gift Cards for Sale
For right now, the following gift cards will be on sale for 20% off. Hopefully we will see more gift card discounts released throughout the day as well!
- $100 App Store & iTunes: On sale for $80 at 9am ET
- [EXPIRED] $50 JCPenney: On sale for $40 at 9:15am ET

This is in addition to the gift card discounts we've seen all week, including:

- Famous Footwear: Purchase a $50+ gift card, save $10 with promotion code FOOT10

But You Can Do Better!
While a 20% off discount is nothing to bat an eye at, you can get an even better deal! Amazon is offering an additional 20% off all purchases (sold and shipped by Amazon) just for using 1 American Express Membership Reward point. And the best part about the offer is that it works on gift card purchases as well! So a $100 iTunes gift card that is on sale for only $80 will ultimately only cost you $64 — a whopping 36% discount!
Bottom Line
This is an incredibly easy way to purchase gift cards at a discount as it doesn't even require you to leave your house! Just make sure to act fast and enjoy the deal!
