Yes, you can buy gift cards on sale during Prime Day

Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon’s 48-hour shopping event that’s exclusive to Prime members is officially underway. During the sale, you can get steep discounts on major brands across every major category including vacuums, pet essentials, beauty and skin care products and more. Interestingly, some of the best discounts to shop during Amazon sale events are actually gift card deals. That said, many of the discounted gift cards are Lightning Deals, which only run for a few hours and change throughout the day. Since they don’t last long, if you see a Lightning Deal on a gift card from a store or restaurant you frequent, don’t wait to buy it.

I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as an editor for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. Below, I rounded up the best current gift card deals available right now.  I’ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Day.
