sigrist_2000 Posted December 3, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridasun5 Posted December 3, 2005 Share 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 Share 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonSlayer1500 Posted December 3, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda1313 Posted December 3, 2005 Share 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!

decafmom Posted December 3, 2005 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommie2one Posted December 4, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebony0421 Posted December 4, 2005 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyrat Posted December 4, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest all2tired Posted December 4, 2005 Share 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.
