bayhaysay Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 I'm sure there are lots of GDer's who would love to have them. You could do some kind of contest here.
sigrist_2000 Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 sell on ebay...someone will pay face value plus shipping for them, or give them as gifts for someone that you havent bought for yet starbucks doesnt just sell coffee! i get the strawberries and creme grande...no coffee there! its very delicious and creamy too
floridasun5 Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 If you need the money, put them on ebay...there are always plenty of fools who pay full price for gift cards If you dont need the money or just want to do something nice, there are plenty of people here who struggle to purchase christmas gifts as it is, that you could hold a drawing for to give away.
best4less Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 Hold a contest on GD for the cards Sell them on ebay Give them as gifts to people you still need to buy for Or with the TRU one, go to the store, buy a toy with it for $10 and donate it to Toys for Tots :)
Lyricsmama Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 You can give them to me j/k (i'd take em tho lol) I agree, if you wanna make some cash sell them on ebay, or give them away as gifts, that can always work, unexpected people show up at xmas all the time.
mommie75 Posted December 3, 2005 Author Posted December 3, 2005 I DO NEED THE MONEY... EBAY CHARGES YOU TO SELL ANYTHING...I LOOk online and there are two star bucks about 35 min from here so maybe i will drive out there are i think we might be meeting friend tommorrow for dinner out that way will see if hubby will stop.. that strawberry thign sounds great.. but hubby likes coffee but he is a picky ass,, folgers and that is it.. maybe he would try it if i got it for him... i would love ot go to toys r us but not driving all the way out there today just for one toy from todays deals,,, i wish we had stores close.. i hate living way out here in the hills... i wanted one thing yest but was not driven all that way with 4 kids... for it ...
bayhaysay Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 Give them as gifts to people you still need to buy forQUOTE] If you do need the extra $$ this is what I would do. :)
DragonSlayer1500 Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 I'd sell them on EBay. I did it with a $10 KB toys gift card and got $8.50 for it.
dealluvr Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 i would love them too! hold a contest fr them
Miranda1313 Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 you could trade for them. I trade coupons and gift cards all the time on a web site called babycenter. I get a lot of great deals there. What kind of things are you looking for? What would you like instead of them? Are there coupons you need? some cash? lmk and we could work out a trade probably or I know others who would. If you want to send me a pm I can tell you about the site too I dont think I am allowed to do it on here though! I could pay you or trade for them though! Miranda
dealluvr Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 i have never been in a starbucks coffee place but i hear they have pastries and stuff.you could get some pastries for christmas breakfast instead of getting coffee
pnlcooper Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 You should be able to use the Toys R Us one online.
best4less Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 You should be able to use the Toys R Us one online. True! I didn't even think of that :) They sometimes offer free shipping on some of their items too so, you might get lucky with that!
able Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 i'd buy them!you can always give them as a gift ..here starbucks would make a good gift for any teenager..its like the local hang out for teens here
freesia39 Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 ebay. ebay. ebay. there's someone that will pay nearly face value for it. otherwise, give them away.
alimfp Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 Gifts or eBay.. you get about 75-90% face value usually.
decafmom Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 I agree about Starbucks having lots of other stuff besides coffee, but I think the best idea is to give them as gifts to other people. I would LOVE Starbucks gift cards!
Mommie2one Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Someone you know I bet would love to have that for a christmas gift. Before giving away, think of the people you know. Friends/family/ or teachers. Great gift idea.
ebony0421 Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 If you haven't shopped for everyone, just wait and give as a gift. If there is no expiration, hold the Starbucks card for a Valentine, Mother's Day or Father's Day gift. The TRU card could be used to buy batteries or something like that. I hope that helps.
mommie75 Posted December 4, 2005 Author Posted December 4, 2005 the both do expire.. i checks if you do not use them in certain amount of time they charge you 2.00 for every month.. so they will just sit here... i pm one lady that pm me and another so maybe they will take them off my hands thanks everyone for the great ideas and offers
happyrat Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 You might also try going to Starbucks and find someone who is buying something. Offer to sell them your Gift card for $15 and see what they say. They might buy it, and then you get something, and they get something.
Guest all2tired Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 If the one from TRU is the $10 gc you get for spending $75, it's expires at the end of the month and CAN NOT be used online. I'd just make a trip to the store and get something small to donate to toys for tots. Maybe get baby toys since nobody seems to remember the babies at Christmas.
patchu Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 I have a $20.00 Sunglass Hut Gift Card i'll gladly exchange for the starbucks one
Kandy Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 I would give them as a gift to people who I know would be able to use them.
mommie75 Posted December 4, 2005 Author Posted December 4, 2005 Use some COMMON SENSE what is that supose to mean... anyway i have traded them already with someone from this board... thanks for the ideas and offers...
