Can I mix multiple gift cards in a single order? Is there a limit of gift card numbers or total amount of gift cards per order?

Just a heads up if your planning in reselling these on other website, good luck. They had an offer where you would get 20 ikea gift with 100 dollar purchase awhile back. When I went to sell it through a reselling website they immediately cancelled my order citing that the company (IKEA) no longer accepted gift card trade ins therefore they could not process my order. I'm stuck with 800 dollars worth in IKEA gift cards. They probably already know that this would attract the resellers and knew there options where either to lose money and sell the gift card at a loss or buy from their website (where the jacked up all the prices by 20 percent). No buyer would accept IKEA below 70 percent including major gift card reselling sites that don't deal directly with the retailer. I also took screenshots of there prices before and a 2 months and would you look at that, prices came down by exactly 20 percent. This wasn't a mistake, they knew what they were doing. Also them have your gift card ledger on their balance sheet allows them to leverage it to acquires loans and makes investments. My 640 dollars that I spent could have sitting in an investment fund earning me 32 bucks a year which while it may not be alot add up. Ikea has been getting insanely greedy for the past few years and it starting to show.

TL;DR

This is fake sale if you planning on reselling or buying through their website. They jack up the prices on their website when these offers come out and gift card resellers that work with retailer all of sudden "can't accept this particular gift card at this time" and the ones that do will only accept it for .70 on the dollar or lower. There most likely using the IOU's for business purpose and for investing. They win either way and they know it.

Thanks for an introduction into the world of buying gift cards for reselling to other websites. Never realized this was a thing.

800 dollars isn't that much money. Just move on and sell for a loss

A prior post said a max of 4 GCs can be applied per online order.

Also, it's not even worth because online prices are way expensive compared to in store prices. So I will pass. Not slick.

Why is everyone complaining about online fees? You can use these in store, can't you?

Ikea has been getting insanely greedy for the past few years and it starting to show in both their business tactics as well as the quality in product. Either way never buying from IKEA ever again, and if someone from CORP is reading this fark you too.

Ikea has increased their prices so much that its not worth it anymore. Only buy when they have a huge discount.

Could not agree more with this. Half of the furniture they sell is made of cheap, basic materials like particle board, metal, amd glass, yet the prices have skyrocketed. I rarely shop there anymore as a result.

No, these gift cards are online only. The price of the sofa I'm looking for is 1600 in store. Online it goes over 2500. So no I will pass.

You can absolutely use these gift cards in-store. It says so right on the e-gift card. You just can't get the bonus card deal when buying the gift card in-store. That is an online-only deal.

I just bought one, and it absolutely can be used in-store.

We used this deal 2 years ago when planning and buying our kitchen. My wife and I both bought $1000 seperately and then each got $200 in bonus cards. It was a bit of a hassle to redeem it all but the staff at ikea was super patient and helpful.

If youre planning a big purchase at ikea (kitchen or pax) I'd definitely jump on this deal. Its essentially a free 20% off.
