Getting free gift cards online is almost the same as getting a hand full of cash.
Why is that? These little plastic wonders can be used in much the same way that a credit card is used and as you all know credit cards are used as a substitute for cash.
As a matter of fact credit and or debit cards are used much more than paper money is now a days.
The only obvious difference between gift certificates and credit cards or cash is that a gift card can only be used at a specific store or retailer, although if you choose to participate in a program offering this type of prize for a retailer that you often shop at it is essentially just as good to you as getting cash for free.
So, if you are wondering what I mean by participating in programs that offer free gift cards online, I mean that yes you will have to do something to earn your gift, although more times than most the prize far out weighs the time and effort that you put in to get it.
Most of the time these offers include filling out a few surveys or signing up for free trials and offers from various companies.
The survey offers are easy and painless and will usually get you a decent gift card.
The programs that require you to sign up for various offers usually produce a much better gift, although they are a bit risky.
You need to be able to keep track of all the offers that you signed up for so that you can cancel them at the end of the month and not get charged for month number two.
If this sounds like something that you can do then free gift card programs are right for you.
