How to Trade or Sell Your Gift Cards for Cash

Gift Cards seem like a great idea when someone just doesn’t know what to get you. The problem is, you can’t return a gift card, even if it’s for a store that doesn’t particularly suit you. Now there’s a work-around. You can now sell or trade your unwanted gift cards and even buy discounted gift cards from those others have sold or traded through an online resource called Plastic Jungle.

You can get cash for up to 90% of the value of any gift card you sell. This works for any kind of gift card, although you won’t get that much for all cards. The best percentage goes to gift cards from: Best Buy, Walmart, Home Depot, Macy’s, Borders, Banana Republic, Old Navy, AMC Theaters, Lowe’s, Neiman Marcus, Pottery Barn, Sears, Applebees, Blockbuster, Cheesecake Factory, Disney Store, Gap, Hobby Lobby, L.L. Bean, NFL Shop, Pier 1, Starbucks, T-Mobile. They take and sell MANY more.

Even if you don’t have a card to sell or trade, you might want to take a look at their terrific discounts, up to 30% off, although for the popular cards the discounts are usually less. For example, right now you can get a Macy’s $100 gift card for $88 (12% off). You can get 11% off gift cards from William Sonoma, Sears, and KMart, and 10% off cards at Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic.

WHAT’S THE DEAL: Buy, sell and trade gift cards at PlasticJungle.com! Save up to 30%.(afl)

WHEN: Anytime. Check back often if you’re looking for great deals on gift cards to buy or trade.

WHERE: Buy, sell and trade gift cards at PlasticJungle.com. Pay as low as $70 for a $100 gift card or sell your unwanted gift cards for cash!

    Thanks for sharing your experience. There’s nothing worse than waiting. You’re right, PlasticJungle got mine out really quick.

    I recently started buying from Gift Card Maddness. OMG. Their Delivery Service is sooooooo slow. I ordered a card on May 4th and today is May 17th and I still haven’t received it. They don’t mail out, after purchase, until 24-48 hours. Not good when one is so excited to have a card they just purchased in the mail they woUldd like to use. They haven’t responded to my email either. Wouldn’t recommend. Thank you for whoever posted the other gift card sights. Plastic Jungle has very good mail out service.

    Frank, you can also try GiftCardRescue.com or MonsterGiftCard.com. Plasticjungle.com is usually better, but it really depends on the card.

    Good luck!
