HOW TO GET RADIO SHACK $25 GIFT CARD FOR $5

Well this post is not related to miles but more on how to make some profit by spending few minutes of your time. Although I am late to the party you could still got on this deal as it is valid till 02/28/2014 with limit of 1 per person. (They use your driving license to determine if you have already done this before or not). Currently Radio Shack is having a promotion where you can trade in electronic items (mostly portable electronics) for $5 in Radio Shack gift card value for each item with a maximum of $25 in Radio Shack gift card in lieu of 5 items. Do note that all of the trade in items should be in working condition. Below is the list of eligible trade in items:

So, now to the interesting part on how you can get $25 gift card for $5. If you do not have any of the above items to trade or you value them much higher than $5 a piece, there is more better or effective way to maximize on this. Here we go:

1. Buy headphones from any local Thrift store for cheap. You can usually get them for $2 a piece. If you are not able to find one the other way is to buy headphone from Dollar Tree store. You can usually find them at the check out counter for $1 a piece.
   
2. Buy 5 of them for a cost of $5+tax and go to Radio Shack store with your Driver License ID.
3. Trade them for a Radio Shack gift card of $25 value.

If you are thinking you never purchase anything from Radio Shack you could sell the $25 gift card usually for 75% of the card value to bunch of gift card re-seller sites. You can compare the rates at Gift Card Granny. Taking 75% of value you would earn ~$13.75 as profit ($18.75 - $5 [cost of 5 headphones]. Hurry.. You only have until 02/28 to get advantage of free money. Enjoy!
