Black Friday Gift Card Deals: Are Discounted Gift Cards Worth It?
Gift card deals on Black Friday usually come in two kinds: a bonus card when you buy one (for example, spend £50 and get a £10 voucher), or a gift card sold for less than its value. Both can be good Christmas presents if you check the terms first.
Some of the things we suggest here are sold by other shops, not by us. Where we link to them, we say so.
