How do these giveaways work?
For starts, the majority of these giveaways are administered by blogs. Blog owners post an entry on their site, detailing the rules of the giveaway. On rare occasions, the blog owner will pay for the gift card himself. When doing so, most bloggers are looking to gain traffic to their website, from wishful readers who are looking to get a free card. In return, readers might be asked to comment on the post that they had just read, share this post in their Twitter or Facebook account or sign up to the blog’s newsletter.
Most of the time, gift cards are given by small retailers directly to the blog owner, the idea is that the post that announces this freebie will also give details about the products that this retailer has. It provides low-cost advertising to the retailer and attracts new readers to the blog so it is a win-win situation.

A small portion of these giveaways is handled by commercial websites who are looking to gain exposure by offering a gift card to their store. More often than not, if you are not “in the know”, you find out about this only after the deal has expired.
How to find out about these giveaways before it’s too late?
If a blogger has a history of giving away freebies on his blog, then chances are he or she will post more freebies in the future. That’s why it’s a good idea to sign up to the RSS feed or newsletter of such bloggers. If you don’t know about any such bloggers, all you need to do is search for related terms such as “gift card giveaway” and set up alerts that will notify you whenever a blog post a new entry that includes the terms. If you’re looking for a specific brand of card then you can try to set up an alert for a term that includes that brand, such as “Old Navy gift card giveaway”.
