Raise.com: Sell Unused/Unwanted Gift Cards for Cash (+ Buy Discounted Gift Cards to Save BIG!)

Do you have a stack of unused gift cards in your kitchen, junk drawer, cookie jar or collecting dust on your desk?! If so, consider selling those unused gift cards for cash!

Raise.com is a great place to go to purchase discounted gift cards for popular retail stores, restaurants, and more. In addition to buying gift cards, Raise.com is a great place to go to sell your unwanted gift cards to other shoppers. You can sell physical gift cards and merchandise credit with a minimum balance of $20, and you can sell eGift cards with a minimum balance of $10 on the card; the cards may be partially used and do not need to have an even balance.

Here’s what you need to do to get started:

* Gather up all your un-used and unwanted gift cards

* Head over here and create a Raise.com account

* Visit the Sell Gift Cards page.

* Enter the required info (Gift Card Retailer, Serial Number, PIN Number etc.). Keep in mind that all gift card serial numbers and pins are kept private at all times. You’ll also need to note the gift card balance and your selling price (depending on the brand, gift cards sell the fastest when discounted at least 5%). You can always choose to adjust the price if your card is not selling.

* For each gift card sale, Raise.com does take a flat 15% commission of the gift card sale price. For physical gift cards, the greater of 1% or $1 will be deducted from the balance; electronic gift cards have no additional fees. You are only charged a fee when your gift card sells; if your gift card does not sell, you will not be charged.

* If you are selling a physical gift card, Raise.com covers all shipping fees and provides prepaid shipping labels for letters and parcels (they just ask that you ship your gift card letters and parcels within 3 business days).

* You can select to be paid by Check Payments or PayPal.

Special Note: Raise.com verifies every seller and approves each sale on their site. You can verify your account through the seller verification tab on the My Account page or when you list your gift card. There is a $1 pre-authorization credit card charge for validating each account. All authorizations will be reimbursed between 24-72 hours

Come back and let us know what card(s) you list and sell!
