I'm heavily considering buying these gift cards on sale for Prime Day: DoorDash, Starbucks, and more

Buying gift cards at a discount is the easiest way to get free money. These deals are a bit rarer to find, though. Just earlier today, I spotted an Uber gift card deal that would give me $100 in Uber cash for $85. By the time I included the deal in this story, the deal had disappeared -- the gift cards were claimed too soon! But luckily, we're in the midst of Amazon Prime Day, Amazon's four-day deals event, where everything from household goods to, yes, gift cards is discounted.

I'm rounding up a few gift card deals I've seen on Amazon during the first day of Prime Day. The sales event runs through June 26, though these deals won't be live the entire time. In fact, based on their popularity, they may be claimed as quickly as that Uber gift card discount was. Jump on these deals as fast as you can.
