What is a gift card worth in coupons?

[AimeeJane]

I am looking to get specific coupons and in return send a five or ten dollar gift card. What is the going rate? How many of requested coupons should I get for a ten buck GC?

Trains are too hard to get on without a rating so I just want "good" coupons. I don't want a lot of crap like mops and dog food. How do I get what I want fast and what is a fair amount to expect in return. I'm not liking how people are wanting a gc and just sending me random coupons about to expire in 2 weeks.

Do people do fast trades like this? Does anyone want to look at my wish list and let me know if we can swing a deal? Thanks.

In the coupon trading section, there is a thread called "What do you think trades should be worth?". That thread is your best bet for finding out the value of something you want to trade.

Generally, I ask for 100.00 in coupons for a 10.00 GC.

You could hold an auction for the gift card and request certain coupons.

Usually the rate is $50 in regular value coupons for a $5 GC. If you are asking for rare, high value, and FPC you will expect to get a bit less. You can post your wish list in the trade section and say you are looking for a $50 bundle of wish list coupons for a $5 GC and see what responses you get

Okay thanks ladies that is along the lines of what I was expecting. Not impressed with the amount of people wanting a gc from me but not offering up a fair trade. I have managed to make contact with several people where I feel it is a fair trade. Thanks. I did not just want a random bundle of thins expiring in 2 weeks. LOL
