Turning a Gift Card into Cash (1 Viewer)

[wilked]

Any ideas?

Got it through work as a reward...  It''s called an Exclusively Yours card, $100 value, and can be used at a bunch of places

Here's the thing - I don't need anything from these places.

Ideas I thought and abandoned:

-Sell through cardpool: they don't have this card as an option

-Buy something, sell it on open market: Hassle, likely to lose 25%.  I'm open to this if there is a low-margin commodity I can do

-Buy a gift card to a merchant, sell gift card: can't buy gift cards with this (not allowed)

So...what other options are there to liquidate it?  Also willing to sell to someone if they want it, name a price

Sell it to someone at work or in your personal life that would use it?

Give it as a gift to a relative or friend who will use it.

A Merry Christmas gift to someone who would be impressed with the amount of the card.....

You probably won't be able to use it to buy another gift card. (These kinds of cards are usually restricted to merchandise only.)

You could sell it on eBay -- you'll probably net $80~ after fees.

Don't you ever eat at Buffalo Wild Wings/Dave & Busters/Mortons/Red Robin? 2-3 visits with a couple friends should be able to eat up the card.

Just use the gift card cash converter at your supermarket.  Usually right next to the coin counter.

this will likely end up being the result.  XMas gift for the in laws.

Still open to any FBG offers...  It's as good as cash (at certain location

Use it to buy a sweet new rod/reel combo at Bass Pro Shops.  Maybe some spinnerbaits too.

I’d buy as many snap backs as I could from Lids and just stand in front of the store bending the ever-loving #### out of the bills. First person to say something to me wins the sticker.

Do you know if it had an expiration date? I could use it at Williams Sonoma or Crate and barrel for the missus. I'll send you a PM.

You could donate it to a local charity.

Expect maybe 70c on the dollar.  

Your best bet for resale is video games.  Indigo sells video games.  Find whatever is hot and new and see whatever Amazon wants for it and get slightly under that.  90c on dollar.
