******** SEE THE SUMMARY POST BELOW THIS ONE FOR THE MOST UP TO DATE INFORMATION ********
It has come to my attention that the 2012 Gift Card Bonus threads are overwhelmed with restaurants. This thread focuses on gift card deals and bonuses for Retail Stores and Non-Restaurants ONLY.
****NOTE**** The FREE gift cards have expiration dates and generally must be used between 01/01/13 and 01/31/13. Each retailer is different, but just assume that you will have to use the free bonus card(s) in the month of January of 2013. *******

"Coinstar + iTunes/Old Navy/Dell - Change in $40 worth of coins at a Coinstar machine and receive a $50 iTunes gift card (No Coinstar fees)" 40$ in change gets pick of itunes/Old Navy or Dell gift card? Is that how I read it?

I believe Banana Republic is giving a $10 shop card for a $50 gift card purchase. Shop cards are only usable during a date range, after which they expire. So be sure to use them during that time. I am not sure if the shop cards are stackable (anyone?). The $50 gift card is typical gift card with no expiration.
Of all these retailers, many of them are keeping their gift card sales very low key this year. I am not sure why.
You have to go inside American Eagle, walk up to the gift card holder at the checkout, and look at the blue sign attached to the gift card holder. It says "Buy $35 in gift cards and get a free $10 American Eagle money card"
This is the same sale they run every year during the month of December - however it's usually better advertised than this.
If you are having difficulties, speak to the manager who will definitely know about the promotion and provide you with the $10 card if you buy a $35 or greater gift card.

Yes. I changed the above information to better explain it.
You change in $40 worth of coins and you get a $50 iTunes card, Dell card, or Old Navy card - with no fees. You do NOT still receive cash for your coins, thus netting you a total $10 profit + no fees.

thanks, i found this post about AE GC, seems not so good to me
---quote--- I was just in American Eagle and saw a sign that they were giving away a $10 Money Card with a purchase of any Gift Card. Looks like they offered this last year but on any purchase during December and not just Gift Cards.
I went and asked how much you had to put on the Gift Card to get the Money Card and it's just $10.
The Money card can only be used between 12/26/11 and 1/15/12 on a purchase of $35 or more. 1 Money Card per transaction and it can be redeemed in store or online.
I got 2 $20 gift cards (that I was getting for gifts anyhow) so I could get 2 Money Cards but for some reason, she said I'd be getting 3 Money Cards.
I know I can only use 1 at a time but still, $10 is $10 and I know it'll get spent. ---quote-- Edit - Now available online [ae.com] but you must spend $25 on your gift card to get the free $10 Money Card.

Considering the Money Card stacks with any in-store offers...it's a pretty good deal, and it's obviously very easy to hit the $35 mark on AE merchandise.

Unconfirmed if the Tommy Bahama deal $50 gift card for $250 purchase works on gift cards - can anyone confirm? If so, $250 for $300 in gift cards is pretty sweet.
