Where The Free Part Comes In

Part 2 of my Free Gift Card Guide

Free gift cards differ from regular gift cards in one simple and very obvious way: they don’t cost anything. Some stores give free gift cards to customers as part a special offer or promotion they are advertising. For example, Bed, Bath and Beyond has offered a free gift card in the amount of $50 with certain product purchases over $250. One major car company reportedly gave vouchers for free $75 gift cards when web site visitors requested a brochure for one of their cars and took a test drive. OfficeMax has given gift cards to customers for items replaced under their extended warranties.

The easiest and most common method of obtaining free gift cards is online via the Internet. Online free gift cards are most commonly found online in $10, $25 and $50 denominations. Even though online gift cards are advertised as free, it’s important to remember that the prospect is always required to take some action before taking ownership of the free gift card. This action could be one or all of the following:

  • Complete out an online form with name, address, phone, etc.
  • Take an online survey
  • Apply for one or more trial offers

It’s fair to assume that the higher the value of the free gift card, the more the applicant will be asked to do.

    @kareuna Sorry to hear about that. What gift card offer did you apply for? We should be posting more gift card offers here for visitors to try.
