This time of year many businesses are offering bonuses when you buy their gift card. For instance AMC Theatres is offering a $10 concession card when you purchase a $50 gift card. Since I easily spent over $50 there last year and will do so again next year this is a good deal for me. If you know you are going to be spending money at a business anyway you might as well take advantage of these bonus offers. It is an easy way to save a little money.
This thread at Slick Deals has a list of bonus gift card deals.
$10 may not seem like a lot to some people but those $10 savings certainly lead to major savings over time. It’s precisely this type of thinking that will save people in this uncertain economy your only insurance to make it through unscathed is to save by any and all means possible and live within your means. Seems simple but most people don’t do it.
