I notice that you are a new member. Welcome.

There are actually several discount gift card sites. I just checked one that I happen to have remembered, Raise.com (https://www.raise.com/buy-gift-cards...ksandMagazines), and noticed that they have Barnes and Noble cards for up to 6.7% discount. Amazon is there, too, but with a paltry discount up to 1.5%. I did not see Kobo; I also did not see Google Play or any of the other 2nd tier ebook sellers (iTunes cards are under the "Entertainment" heading (https://www.raise.com/buy-gift-cards...=Entertainment)). For those who still have an attachment for (or for some reason need) dead tree books, there were a couple of B&M bookstores represented, too, including Books-A-Million and Family Christian.

I've never actually bought cards on any of these sites, but as far as some are concerned, I think that the maximum discount will change from sometimes one day to the next, depending on what they have in their inventory, the dollar amount of the card, etc.
That is so true GtrsRGr8. I have noticed that the discounts change from day to day. The website that I have mentioned seems to maintain the same discount everyday. Since I am on a fixed income and considering that I buy a lot of nook-books it is good to know that I will save a dollar whenever I have to add a new gift card to my nook account.
