Best Way to Get Value Back from Amazon AU Giftcards?

Dunno on 29/12/2025 - 15:15

I win alot of giftcard credit from promos etc to the point where I've now accumulated about $5500AUD and $900USD in redeemed giftcard credit.

Given RAM and SSD's etc have gone crazy in price(my usual pick for buying/reselling) any product tips for getting 90%+ back from AU/US products when reselling here? While SSD's etc do have some margins where it's $50+ cheaper in AU the prices are so volatile and theres minimal demand at current prices that I think I would struggle to get 90% back.

Any input is welcome, I did notice the odd good laptop deal(32GB, 1TB SSD) but sadly they were snapdragon based.

    Many (most?) places allow you to convert to something like an Amazon gift card.

    My suggestion would be to start using them to purchase (shelf stable) pantry staples from Amazon (or any viable alternative) when there is a good deal on and, say, free shipping to NZ. Stuff you would be purchasing regardless, and therefore effectively convert your credit into NZD cash.

    Often you can get DDP prices at or slightly below what you would pay in NZ from a supermarket.

    It would take quite some time to use up AU$ 5,500 but you might at least slow down or slowly reduce your stockpile, and I am guessing that, since you tolerated it building up to that level, you could tolerate it sitting there or slowly declining just as well.
