Does anyone here use Cardpool?

Cardpool is a website where you can buy discounted store gift cards. For example, you can buy $100 worth of credit at Petco for $80. This can be dangerous!!! But if there is a store or website that you know you're going to frequent, it's a great way to save a little more money. Since you can always pay with store credit even if you also take advantage of sales or coupons, it's savings on savings.

I just heard of this somewhere else too. I am interested in trying it out.

As far as I can see, IF you are truly planning to shop in a certain store AND you won't just buy $78 worth of stuff because you happened to buy a card worth that much, it's almost a no-brainer. I live a dual life with a person who really isn't interested in stepping beyond the pale (pun intended), so 9% off at the Olive Garden, 20% off at Petco and 10% off at Walgreens actually does save us money, albeit at places I go with some reluctance. Occasionally there are even cards available at places I really like, and there are always some available for Home Depot and Walmart, two evil empires that occasionally come in handy.
