CardCash

CardCash is a leading secondary marketplace for gift cards that buys unwanted cards directly from consumers. Unlike peer-to-peer marketplaces where you have to wait for a buyer, CardCash gives you an instant offer. If you accept, they pay you directly, and they take on the risk of reselling the card. This makes it one of the fastest ways to liquidate store credit.

Users can choose to receive cash or trade their card for a higher value gift card to a different store (e.g., trading a Walmart card for an Amazon card). CardCash verifies the balance and offers a 45-day buyer protection guarantee on cards purchased from their site. It is a legitimate service for maximizing the value of gifts you won't use.
