Some Other Ways to Sell Amazon Gift Cards

I have found out some more ways to sell your Amazon gift card.

13. Try a CoinStar Kiosk

You probably have seen these machines in sundry stores which turn your loose change into bills. Well, the machines have since been taken over by Cardpool – one of the leading players in the business of buying and selling gift cards.

All you need to do is take your Amazon gift card to the nearest Cardpool kiosk and enter the card and ID information.

You will then see an offer (upto 85% of the card value) for your gift card on display. If you accept the offer, you will need to enter the card into the slot provided and collect the cash; alternately you can just cancel the transaction and walk away.

14. Reddit

This website also has a barter thread (a subreddit) which allows you to trade items like Amazon gift cards in exchange for free tangible items or a service that you may require.

All you need to do is list your Amazon gift card on their site and wait for a suitable barter offer to come up.

But before you get all excited at this novel concept to make sure you read all the applicable rules listed in the sidebar, before going ahead with registering your gift card.

15. Craigslist

You can easily find a buyer for your unused Amazon gift card by merely listing it on Craigslist. Once you find a potential buyer, you might need to verify the balance in your card in his/her presence.

The advantage here is that the buyer may well be someone from your own neighbourhood, plus you will be paid in hard cash (sans any of transaction fee deducted on other online websites).

A small word of caution here though, if the buyer is not known to you make sure you meet him/her in a public place and take the payment in cash only.

16. eBay

Like Craigslist, you could try this popular online platform to sell Amazon gift cards. Now a couple of things to remember before you go ahead with the listing.

There may be listing (and selling fees) involved so decide on a price after taking both into consideration.

And if the buyer happens to stay in some other city/state, there may be shipping charges involved as well – assuming of course that you have a physical gift card. So that needs to be considered as well.

17. Facebook

If you’re already on Facebook, you are probably aware of the many Buy and Sell groups on this popular social platform.

Listing your Amazon gift card for sale on one or more of these groups could be a great way to find a buyer. But do remember to take the necessary precautions to guard against potential scammers.

The second option you could try out is to put out a single post – saying you want to sell Amazon gift cards for X amount – and share among family and friends. That could work just as well.

18. Letgo.com

Letgo is one of the most significant apps to buy and sell tons of stuff locally. And it’s free too.

It’s frequented by buyers (and sellers) who are usually from the same neighbourhood.

So if you’re looking at selling your Amazon gift card with the minimum fuss – you need to download the app and list it here. Of course, the usual precautions apply here too – if the buyer is not known to you.

19. Exchange it for Cryptocurrency

Did you know you can also exchange your unused Amazon gift card for cryptocurrency on Purse?

It’s a website that exchanges only Amazon gift cards – for Bitcoin. On it you find buyers looking to purchase stuff from Amazon. Your job is to buy that stuff from them – using your gift card.

In return, the person opens an escrow account and deposits the cash – so you get paid once the transaction is completed. Once done, the person receives his Amazon goodies while you understand his Bitcoin – cool isn’t it?

20. Check Back With Amazon

Now, this might seem a little unconventional to some, but what the heck it’s worth a shot. Have you considered the possibility of selling the card back to Amazon?

It’s possible they might be interested in repurchasing it from you, and all you need to do is – ask them. Worst case scenario, they might turn you down, so what?

But if they do say – yes, there is a good chance that you may get the full monetary value back for your gift card.

21. Use It, Sell the Items for Profit

Now since we are talking about unconventional ways here is another way you could try.

It involves using the gift card to buy cool stuff from Amazon and then selling it online – for a tidy profit.

The most significant advantage of using this method is that you don’t have to sell your gift card for a discount and you end up making a nice profit instead. Plus if you happen to be an Amazon Prime member, you stand to earn cash rewards too.

How does that sound to you? Good? Then go for it.

22. Gift it to your Friends & Family.

Got a friend’s birthday coming up? Or perhaps your parent’s marriage anniversary? Both scenarios involve you buying an excellent (and expensive) present right?

Instead, you could consider gifting them the Amazon gift card – and save yourself both time, effort and money in the bargain.

As the saying goes – A dollar saved is a dollar earned – and in this case, you will end up saving much more than a dollar, and nobody has to know. Smart, eh?

23. Buy Stuff You Really Need

Ok now here’s another cool idea and this is how it works. As you probably know already, Amazon sells thousands of products online across hundreds of different categories. This also includes many of the daily essentials that you need to buy anyway like soap, groceries, accessories, clothing etc.

So you use your gift card to buy the stuff you need – for FREE and in return, you gift yourself the cash from your bank account – which you would have commonly used to pay for the stuff – to do as you please.

This way your gift card is put to good use and you also get your hands on some surplus cash to spend (or save) – as you deem fit.

In Conclusion

With over 562,382,292 different products listed, it comes as no surprise why Amazon continues to be among the top choices for online shopping.

Having said you should face absolutely no problem in finding a buyer for your unused Amazon gift cards – either online or offline – using any of the simple ways suggested in this article. Good luck.
