For
those
who
like
to
get
something
free
for
themselves
while
purchasing
a
holiday
gift
for
someone
else,
I’ve
put
together
a
list
of
2023
holiday
gift
card
deals
and
specials.
Most
of
the
deals
offer
a
bonus
card
that
can
only
be
used
early
next
year.
A
few
chains
also
tend
to
offer
a
Black
Friday
or
Cyber
Monday
deal
so
keep
an
eye
out
for
those.
Keep
in
mind
that
while
gift
cards
generally
don’t
expire
(they
definitely
don’t
in
California),
bonus
cards
are
basically
coupons
and
do
expire.
As
usual,
I’ll
update
if/when
more
deals
come
in.
Without
further
ado,
here’s
this
year’s
list:
