Hey all- I have a few gift cards that I'll most likely never use. Have any of you ever sold them online? I'd like to sell them and have the funds dumped into my PayPal account. If you've sold them, how much of a beating did you take? I guess almost anything is better than them sitting around unused, right? Thanks in advance.
try something like https://www.cardcash.com/sell-gift-cards/?amazon-promotion=true and I think if you trade it for another one, you get a bonus. a $50 PacSun card had a $30 offer, so not sure if it's worth it to you raise.com is another site. They seem to take 15% of the selling price. But someone has to buy it first.
Guy I know built a lot of his house through purchasing Home Depot gift cards online. If I remember right he would get them anywhere between 60-80 percent of face value. Of course I'd just hold on to it, I'm sure someone will have a birthday or need a Christmas gift.
yeah it's a good deal when you can find the right one. Also, you have to use them ASAP. There have been incidents where the gift cards were bought with stolen credit cards and then resold, and then the issuer cancelled the gift card.
Somebody hacked one of my credit cards a few months ago and the main thing they bought was gift cards. They made four or five stops at convenience stations, filled up their car, bought a half dozen cartons of cigarettes, and bought a couple hundred dollars in gift cards at each.
My wife deals in gift cards so she knows her shit. She said to use cardpool.com or see if your grocery store has a kiosk for redemption.
same here, and at the gas stations. they hit a few of my Chase cards, and they were able to charge a card that was never even activated.
They got one of mine I hadn’t used in about a year. Zero balance and safely tucked away in my desk drawer.
Ebay. But this was years ago before internet scammers went full Nigerian Prince amd before huge Ebay fees. They are still all over ebay so if someone has good feedback I'd be ok with it.
There's just too damn much potential for skeevy on both sides of the transaction for me to ever want to dabble in secondhand gift cards. My favorite strategy is to buy, frinstance, a couple-few packages of AA batteries from retailers I have a GC for, and return them for store credit at wally world or Lowes. With a Pacsun GC, yeah, you're pretty much hosed unless you want to buy 'toe a secret Santa gift: https://www.pacsun.com/pacsun/x-pla....html?dwvar_0644489900006_color=066&cgid=mens
A lot of gift cards can be loaded into your Amazon account and used as a credit. It doesn't work with all of them but it is worth looking into. I'll do this with the smaller left over amounts from Visa, Best Buy and Starbucks cards etc etc.
When I have a GC that's only going to have a buck or so left on it after my purchase, I usually just have the cashier run it on the tab of the person behind me.
