I can't figure out where to post this... But does anyone know of a legitimate place to buy iTunes gift cards at a discount?
Thanks!

Can I just say that posting where you are might have been helpful?

As it so happens, W.H.Smiths offers £40 worth of cards for £30. Loaded up yesterday.

Many places put them "on sale" during the year. I buy mine when they are 20% - 30% off. A couple months ago GiftCardMall had $50 cards for $35. They had $50 cards for $40 last week.

I have bought them for 20% off from sales at Best Buy, Staples, and Office Max.

I will buy several when they go on sale and load up my iTunes account. I then am buying all my music and apps at a 20-30% discount. For example, when I wanted to buy Final Cut Pro, I bought $300 of iTunes cards at 20% off = $240. Great way to get a nice discount on Apple software.
 
9to5Mac has a 9to5Toys site (http://9to5toys.com). Get their email updates, subscribe to their RSS feed, or follow them on Twitter -- whatever works for you. Every couple months they'll have a deal on iTunes cards, usually 10%-20% off.

Follow web sites like slickdeals, best buy has had them for 20% off i may snag a $50 card next time myself
 
Thanks for these ideas! I'll be keeping my eyes open. Buying all this content for my kids sure adds up and if I let them use data... That costs a lot too!
 
Target

Target will also have 5%-10% off iTunes cards from time to time. If you have the Red Card (Debit Card) you save 5% on all your purchases. The money comes directly out of your checking account. I buy all my iTunes cards at Target with 5% off, unless there is a better deal some place else. Then when Target is offering 10% off you would get 15%. I do this all the time.

I got a bunch at target on Black Friday! I did the $60 for $50.
 
Also remember to "stock up" if you find a good deal. I loaded up several years ago that I'm still using now.
 
I would try buying them on discounts in stores. If you have a loyalty card with a store which allows you to exchange points for a discount that may be a way to go. I regularly exchange my nectar points for itunes vouchers. I would recommend to stay away from places such as ebay, I once purchased a itunes gift card which when I tried to activate gave me an error message that it was un-activated. Apple support told me it was likely that it could have been stolen. Luckily that time I managed to get my money back, but you want to be careful.
 
If you have twitter follow @itunescarddeals they always post any discounts being offered by different merchants or websites (US only I think) and if you dont have twitter just google the name every once in a while and you can look at their tweets on your browser.
