CardNow Wow?

If you are like me, then you have given a majority of your friends and family a gift card for various occasions.  I actually got into the habit of grabbing a gift card every time I was at the grocery, just so that one was available when I needed it.  Of course, there have still been countless times where I had to quickly run out and get a gift card for an occasion.

Recently, I discovered CardNow.  For a small fee, they ship a set of gift cards with no balance to you.  Using their app, you can reload the gift card with a given amount.  Start at $4.99 for 10 gift cards (2 sets of 5), this seemed like a good and cost effective solution (cost of gas and time spent waiting in line to purchase a gift card).

How it works

Pros and Cons

Pretty straightforward, but is it worth it?

Pros
  • Easy to load gift card value
  • Convenient
  • Cost effective, when you compare the amount of time and gas it takes to purchase a single gift card at the store.
Cons
  • Limited selection (See here)
  • App does not integrate with ApplePay (as a new application, not quite ready to save my card information)
  • Minimum card balance of $25 (Still will have to go out and grab a pack of $10 Starbucks Cards)

Overall, for someone like me, this is a great addition to my collection of gift cards for all occasions.  Let me know your thoughts?
