Chase UR is giving 10% for Bestbuy purchases tomorrow.  If the deal lasts until then, it would be like getting it for $72.  These often go for more than they're worth on ebay! e.g. http://www.ebay.com/itm/25-iTunes-Gift-Card-/330644736930?pt=US_Gift_Certificates&hash=item4cfbf64ba2#ht_500wt_1156

Can you buy from Sam's online if you don't have a Sam's membership?

I noticed that the other day on eBay (when I first saw the Sam's Club circular, I checked to see the resale value of the iTunes gift cards).

Can anyone explain WHY ON EARTH iTunes gift cards would sell for even $0.01 more than face value?  What am I missing?

By the way, I am a member of Sam's -- anyone wants the gist card packs through them, I am happy to assist.  It's the least I can do for DD'ers after enjoying deals and advice for some time.

Scammy buyers who buy virtual items on ebay and then dispute the charges, as it was never shipped with a tracking number.

Thanks, Dan.  Guess that's the only thing that could make any sense.

I believe they are also international buyers who cannot buy giftcards from their itunes/apple store.

What about the physical cards? Is it the same risk?

Virtual gift cards are actually not allowed to be sold on eBay. I once put up a card and it was removed within 30 minutes. (It can be done, you just need to be creative with your wording.)
