Best way to get rid of unused gift certs?

[HayGan]

I've heard that there are services out there where you can sell or trade unused gift cards. I have a couple cards that I will never use and was looking to get rid of them. Can anyone recommend a good site to use?

Thanks

Plasticjungle.com is a good one.

I have several friends who used to use PJ exclusively for the last year and two of them who used them recently had issues of their gift cards "never arriving" to the company or the redemption return not being sent. I would avoid plastic jungle IMO

I looked into all of these sites and they only give you a fraction. What I do is ask around to friends and family and see if anyone wants to buy it at a discount of 10%. I usually find someone to buy it if they frequent the store. You can also regift to someone at christmas or birthdays.

Thanks for all the responses. The gc's I am looking to get rid of are for an airline that I never fly. I can't imagine giving it as a gift.

Would it be possible to donate them to a charity? The school my son used to attend had an auction every year and they were always looking for donations. While you wouldn't get money for them, you could possibly get a tax deduction for the face value.

Cardpool.com and Giftcardrescue.com.

Sell them on ebay!

Update: I ended up using cardpool.com with their online redeption for a Amazon gift card. I entered my info and within 12 hours I had the code for my Amazon gift certificate. So easy. While it was for only 80% of the card's value, it was definitely worth it for a card I would have never used
