There are many methods but the choice, as to the ones you consider to be the best will depend on the circumstance and your budget. If you have much to spend, it means you can afford to buy large quantities of TC and try out more distribution avenues for best results.
Personally, I have a tight budget like most affiliates, so I target internet cafes owned by my friends and give them specific instructions on those to give out the GC to. I tell them to ask customers at the Till if they are interested in online purchases and that he has a GC for those who show interest in online purchase, but at the same time, inform them that he does not intend to waste the GC and so if the prospects have no use for them, they should kindly reject the offer.
I choose to use the internet cafes because of the believe that those who patronise them are internet savvy, in one form or the order and I spend some time there too, to personally do what I asked the person at the Till to do for me. I offer to pay different amount of commission to the owner of the internet cafe, ranging from the number of cards he distributes, to those that are redeemed, with the later five times more than the former. However, most of them do it for free because I use my warm market, where I have a personal relationship with the owner or/and where I am a regular and respected customer.
I regard this as my favourite strategy and the purpose of this answer is not to suggest you replicate it, but to use it as a guide to formulate your own strategy if you will not be comfortable with my strategy.
Some other methods I will recommend are those that target online buyers mainly:
1. online buy and sell sites
2. College canteens and library
3. IT professionals
You will only need to make the GC available or as an offer in order to accomplish your objective in carrying out 1-3.
