2023 Holiday Gift Card Deals and Specials

An assortment of gift cards.
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.

Update 11/21/23: Check out this year's Black Friday deals for some extra savings on gift cards.

As usual, I'll update if/when more deals come in. Without further ado, here's this year's list:
