$20USD for ($25 Amazon Gift Card + $5 Toys "R" Us GC + $5 Gyft GC) May or May Not Work for Aus

Just saw this on Dealnews.


Gyft offers a $25 Amazon Gift Card bundled with a $5 Gyft Credit and $5 Toys "R" Us Credit for $20 via the steps below. That's $5 below the cost of the Amazon gift card alone elsewhere and the lowest total price we could find. To get this deal:

Add a $25 Amazon Gift Card to cart
create a new account with Gyft
apply coupon code "FDFAMILY" to cut the price to $20
check out via Google Wallet to get a $5 Toys "R" Us Credit for free
check your account after purchase for a $5 Gyft Credit for free

Basically, Gyft allows you to buy gift cards from US merchants. However, it seems they've restricted it to the US so it may or may not work. Give it a try.

I created an account, was able to use the promo code, and paid via Paypal AU account however Gyft said the payment is pending and would take up to 24 hours to clear.

Fortunately, I have a US credit card so I tried the above with Google Play attached to US address and CC (so I can get the $5 Toys R US card). That also got pending and would take up to 24 hours. The Toys R Us gift card only works in the US so no point for Australians.

Basically, you go into Gyft using the app or website and your Amazon card will be there. You just click reveal code and they'll give you a code which you can enter into Amazon.

I'll update this thread once I get confirmation yay or nay but may be worth giving it whirl. I assume the $5 Gyft credit will be applicable for another gift card.

Gyft appears to be a big company (or its parent company is) and has featured in Techcrunch.

    • Hmmm wonder why mine is stuck at pending? Did you use a VPN or something?

    A serious amount of security hurdles for a $25 Amazon gift card. I should have used a VPN.

    • same happened to me. They just sent me the email even though my amazon cards were issued. I should have claimed them right away.
