Perqora Turns Local Gift Cards Into Discounted Drops
A forthcoming marketplace where neighbourhood businesses sell digital gift cards below face value, letting shoppers pay less while businesses get cash up front.
Field notes
Perqora describes a closed-loop gift-card system: each participating business sets its own discount, batch size, and sale timing, and the resulting card is redeemed only at that business. The proposed settlement window is two business days after sale, while example discounts include $100 cards sold for $80 and $150 cards for $120. The site is currently organized around a waitlist and founding-business launch rather than a visibly active marketplace. A game and scratch card can add entries to the monthly $50 draw.
