You’ve heard it before: Shipping delays, supply chain bottlenecks and more issues are plaguing the 2021 holiday shopping season. It’s best to start shopping early this year, but what if even though you have, you still can’t find that perfect gift on store shelves?
This year, consider a gift card. One of the biggest merchants out there, Amazon, currently has a gift card deal that’s not to be missed: When you buy $50 worth of Amazon gift cards, you get a $10 Amazon credit two days later. That’s like free money in your pocket this holiday season. (Note that you’ll need to be signed in to your Amazon account to see and cash in on the deal.)

There aren’t supply-chain issues with gift cards – e-cards can be sent virtually without relying on UPS or the post office at all. And other gift cards are on sale, too, offering smart shoppers credits or cash back.
If you don’t want to deal with mail delivery slowdowns and supply chain issues, gift cards are a great gift choice in 2021. Consider the gift cards, from Walmart, Amazon and more, ahead.
