Introduction
Gift cards continue to be one of the most popular presents in the United States, with billions spent annually across retail, dining, travel, and entertainment. However, survey data shows that consumers often receive cards for stores they don’t frequent, leading to billions in unused balances (“breakage”) every year. In response, a robust secondary market now allows consumers to quickly turn unwanted gift cards into cash or even cryptocurrencies via reputable exchange platforms.
Below, we introduce the opportunities in the gift card-to-cash and crypto exchange ecosystem and present a comprehensive list of 100 major US brands for which you can frequently sell gift cards on leading platforms.
Why Sell Gift Cards for Cash or Crypto?
Consumer Benefits
- Monetize Unwanted Value: Instantly convert cards you’re unlikely to use into spendable money.
- Immediate Liquidity: Get cash via bank transfer, PayPal, or major cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum).
- Personal Finance Control: Prevent loss from card expiry or devaluation.
Use Cases
- Unwanted Birthday/holiday presents
- Store- or brand-specific cards after returns or rewards
- Partial balances remaining on a card
Factors Affecting Card Resale Value
- Brand Popularity: More in-demand brands fetch higher payouts.
- Card Balance: Higher values usually yield better rates.
- Card Type: E-cards process faster; physical cards may take longer.
- Card Status: Only unused or partially used, unexpired cards accepted.
- Market Demand: Discounted premium brands sell instantly; niche cards may take longer.
