Gift card swap/sale website?

[raven3517]

Does anyone recall the address for the website that you can sell or trade gift cards at? I have a $10 Starbucks GC, and we don't have a Starbucks anywhere around here. I think I remember reading about the website once.

Thanks in advance!

Do you live in Antartica or on another planet?

Just kidding

Bumping so hopefully somebody can help!

I think you used to be able to do that at Fishing for deals, or fatwallet. You can always sell them on ebay. That's what I do.

Not a Starbucks in sight around here either! When we went to DC on a vacation my children were bewildered...there was a Starbucks on every corner. They wondered why people in the capital needed so much more coffee than regular citizens!

I've used: http://www.certificateswap.com/ and had success with it or I use eBay. Good luck!

I was just browsing that site. It seems like most of the GCs for sale are being sold for face value or slightly under face value - no big savings. Why would anyone go there to buy a $25 GC for $24? Once you pay postage, you haven't gained anything? I don't get it.

Thanks for the suggestions and links, everyone

disneysteve, if you look at eBay, the GCs are going for within a dollar or 2 of the value - not sure why, either, but I'll take it

Can anyone explain this? If I want a Best Buy card, for example, why not just go to Best Buy? Why take a chance bidding on ebay, paying postage and hoping that the person doesn't rip me off?

Now I have bought Marriott Bonus Bucks coupons on ebay recently but they only sell for about 20% of face value which I thought was a great deal. So our next hotel stay we will pay $50 worth of the bill with a cert. that only cost me $13. That makes sense. The other stuff does not.

Steve you got me thinking and I went over to ebay to see...since we are MVC owners. I saw they have Pound certificates, have you ever heard of those? It seems they can be used for double the value?? Any help would be appreciated...thanks!
