Hi Anthro ladies! Thanks to Roxy for letting me share this tip on EA! This is my first online adventure...:)
We all know that Anthro is bit pricey; well I should say...at least for me. For a long time I have been only window shopping at Anthropologie. I came to know about the store when one of my instructors was wearing a denim skirt that she told me was from Anthro after I mentioned that I am in love with the skirt. Since then I kept browsing the site, drooling over items and waiting endlessly expecting them to go on sale at ridiculously low prices so that I can buy them. After hours/months/years of browsing I came to know that these prices are not going to come down but I have to find other ways to get discounts (one of them is the 15% birthday discount) but that’s only once a year and I need more! I am sure you all are with me on this.
This opportunity came after 2 years....I was looking for something on Craisglist.org and I found this ad about someone selling anthropologie gift card for $20 less than value on the card. I was curious to see why that was the case, when I read the ad I found that the lady did not need the gift card and is selling it for cash to buy something else. I am sure we all have been in that situation before where we got a gift card for a store that we don’t shop at. There was this other thing that caught my eye in the ad "I am going to sell this card on www.plasticjungle.com". This opened doors for me to shop at Anthropologie.
Now coming to the point….Plastic Jungle is a gift card exchange site where you can buy gift cards at discount prices and sell your unwanted gift cards for cash. I scanned through the list of cards they sell and guess what excited me the most, yes you guessed it right! Anthropologie is one of gift cards they sell for discount. My happiness knew no bounds!! They offer 13% discount on Anthropologie gift cards; for example a $100 anthropologie gift card is sold for $87 with free shipping! Anthropologie gift cards are in high demand so they are not available always and if one becomes available they are gone pretty quick. You can set up to receive Emails when the card gets available.
I came to know about this site in February and I got 8 anthropologie gift cards and 5 for other stores so far. Their service is great. Gift cards usually ship within 24 hours of purchase via regular mail. It usually takes less than a week to receive your card.
Recently I found another website ABC Gift Cards that offers 16% discount on Anthropologie gift cards. I have been checking their site for other two months now and they always have Anthropologie gift cards in stock. I have not purchased any gift cards from this site so I will not be able to comment on their service.
If you combine your 15% birthday discount with this then it will be total of over 30% discount which is an awesome deal. These sites have lot of gift cards from other stores available that you can take advantage. I think this is a win-win situation for people who are buying and selling gift cards.
For those non-anthros who are reading this, please sell your unwanted gift cards so that we anthro lovers can use it!
I hope you found this money saving tip useful. Now you can buy more for less! Happy shopping.

Hi ladies, roxy here. I imagine this post is going to inspire some lively discussion. I have used Plastic Jungle before but am unfamiliar with ABC. You can read PJ's guarantee here for a bit more information. I'd love to hear about your experience -- positive or negative -- if you have used these services. Please keep decorum in the comments!
