homepageTrading Gift Cards for Glamour Gym Membership
Brief introduction
You can become a glamour gym member with various payment methods, such as credit cards, PayPal, money orders, or cash.
However, some websites also have pay with a gift card as an option.
How It Works
- Find a website & suitable gift card.
- Choose the “gift card” option
- Accept Suggested Trade
Find a website & suitable gift card
Choose “Pay with Gift Card”
When you tap to join a glamour gym, you will be presented with a payment page.
On this page you can choose which payment method you like to use.
One of the options is “Pay with Gift Card”
This option is either a link, an image or just part of the whole.
Accept Suggested Trade
Once you find a website, tap to join/sign-up and choose “Pay with a gift card”.
You will be sent to a dedicated page allowing you to:
- Check gift card balance
- View the suggested trade
- If you agree, confirm trade
Choose your gift card
Enter Card Serial + Pin
Note: not all gift cards have a pin. If your card has no pin, leave the field empty.

Gift Card Trade Cons
No Portion Spending
You cannot spend gift cards in portions. The transaction uses all of the face value and is one-time.
You also cannot use cards that have portions spend, even if there’s enough credit left in them. Paygarden only processes all of the face value.
Minimum Face Value $30
PayGarden suggests a minimum of $10, BUT it depends on the service used. Therefore the minimum amount we suggest is $30.
No Combining Gift Cards
you cannot combine multiple gift cards for one purchase.
It is technically impossible since there’s no way to connect two cards to one person. The cards are anonymous.
Gift Card Trade Benefits
Gift card trades have significate benefits over other payment methods:
- Double charge protection
- Hide intention & trace
- Keep your band/credit card statements clean
- Cross-selling impossible
- Set & forget, no need to cancel your membership before the next month.
Double charge protection
Double charges sometimes happen because of a technical failure.
But when there’s no more value on the card, then there’s nothing to be taken.
Hide intention & trace
There will be no statements revealing where the money is (going to be) spent.
You just bought a gift card for a colleague’s birthday.
Clean & Private Credit Card
You cannot give up your credit card info, address, or name. PayGarden only asks for serial & pin on the gift card.
Cross-Selling Not Possible
Cross-Selling is adding websites/services to your membership without consent.
Often it’s easy to overlook, hard to notice pre-checked option.
Cross-selling will not work because the card is limited to a fixed amount.
Saving Money
You only spend what you have beforehand, not afterward.
This limitation prevents overspending, saving you money in the long run.
Set & Forget
Canceling your membership is very easy, but you can forget to do so. You end up spending more than you anticipated.
With a gift card, it’s okay to forget to cancel your subscription. Auto Cancel, Auto Expire, Set & Forget.
No need to remember, talk, call, tap an option or write to anyone to cancel your membership.
One in A Million
And even better: you have millions of excuses to make!
Examples:
“Honey, what did you do with that Puma gift card? I gave it to Jimmy, the garbage collector. He had better use for it.”
“What would you like for your birthday? I like to get myself a gaming console. GameStop gift card would help!”
“My collogue is retiring. Oh really? What are you going to get him? K&L gift card, he likes wines.”
Physical or Digital Gift Card?
We suggest not buying gift cards, but if you do, you can also opt-in for e-gift. e-gift cards can be purchased online and e-mailed to you within minutes. You do need a credit card for this.
Which e-gift card should you get?
The fastest and easiest cards to get hold of and will work are:
Target e-gift card
- Choose “delivery method e-mail”
- e-gift card will arrive within hours
Walmart e-gift card
- Enter any message and design
- Entering your e-mail address as the recipient
- You will receive the e-gift card within hours
