Title: Online Way to Sell Unused Gift Cards?
Post by: apanda0622 on November 10, 2016, 01:46:23 PM

Is there a reputable online site to sell unused gift cards?  I have a couple for restaurants I can't eat at, so hoping to make some cash for part of their value.  Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

I've seen people sell them on ebay, but I'd be concerned about someone pulling a scam like trying to use it and return it.

Here's an article that talks about different options for selling gift cards:

I've never done it though, so I don't have personal experience with any of the sites.

Just out of curiosity, what places do you have gift cards for?

I'd try Ebay or the services that advertise on TV during the holidays. Plastic Jungle is one that comes to mind.

Oh ok, I was going to say if they were Panera Bread, Olive Garden, Dominoes, or Friendly's, I'd be interested.

I've actually got the app for Raise.com and I've purchased gift cards from there with hardly problems.
They have a 100 day money back guarantee for the buyer** and I've only had to use it once.
**[Edit to clarify] the money back guarantee if the giftcard doesn't actually have the promised amount from the seller
 I've never sold any gift cards though, only purchased. They have a small (reasonable) fee, but you get to choose how much you want to sell if for.

Thanks!  I used Carpool to sell a Ruth Chris $50 gift card for $38. :)
