Here’s another solid method to pocket some extra cash…
The team at GoalMine recently ran a limited-time deal where they rewarded users with 150% of the value of any gift card traded in that’s worth $50 or less.
Put plainly, you could receive a FREE $25 by selling them a $50 gift card (they’d pay you $75 for a $50 card).
GoalMine is an investment platform launched in 2010 with the mission of making stocks and bonds accessible to everyday people. They charge no trading fees and their clean interface helps users create and track personal savings goals.
This promotion was designed to encourage folks to begin saving for the future. I signed up a couple weeks back and have been impressed with the experience.
[If you took part in the earlier GoalMine offer we shared (Grab a FREE $20 from GoalMine), you can still join this promotion provided you haven’t funded your account yet.]
How to take part…
1. Create a free GoalMine account. It only takes about 90 seconds to complete.
2. After opening your account, click the “Gift Cards” tab at the top. From there you can sell your gift card and claim the bonus. Just enter your card data and follow the on-screen prompts.
GoalMine partnered with Plastic Jungle, a reputable gift card exchange, to administer this promotion, so it’s legitimate.
(Pro tip: if you don’t own a gift card, consider picking one up next time you shop. Who would turn down a free $25? :))
3. Once you submit the form, you’ll need to mail them your gift card. It typically takes 10–20 days for funds to appear in your GoalMine account. After that you can invest in one of their mutual funds or withdraw the cash.
If you haven’t built an emergency stash yet, my recommendation is to let the money sit. What better way to jump-start savings than with someone else’s cash?
Note: Participants must be at least 18 and have a Social Security number. As before, this offer is limited to U.S. residents only. Apologies to those outside the country.
