Effective Use of Unnecessary Cards

Nothing is useless, in this world everything has its Price, you just need to find a buy how is in need of that card. You can sell gift cards that are unlikely to be used on online exchanges such as Gift Card Granny and GiftCards.com among them Credit Card Granny, a leading gift card exchange.

There is no doubt “Finding a Buyer” is going to be tough!

But worries not you can try to sell those cards to your loved one or with your friends. And always remember social media is there for your help; try to sell those cards on Facebook pages, Twitter or Instagram.

But keep in mind!

The purchase price depends on the how valuable that card is to someone else moreover it can also depend on usability of that card, but you can buy it at about 70 to 92% of the card value. If you use a card from a shop that doesn’t have many stores, you may get a trade-in for less than half the price.

The cashing method is convenient because there are options such as checking and PayPal. In addition, you may be able to exchange it for an Amazon gift card at a 4.5-5% higher price.

When selling gift cards, be sure to use a well-known and reliable exchange, just as you would buy a discount gift card.

Exchange with better One

I hope you guys have heard the concept of “The Barter system”. Believe it or not that concept will help you exchange your useless card into a handy gift card.

Like other commodities gift cards are also exchange in open market. You can check out Cardcash.com, cardpool.com, giftcard.com and other online available websites to offer exchange card options.

But keep in mind like you want to get rid of your less effective card, others are also want to do the same. So be very careful when you enter into an exchange offer.

Give to others

It is also possible to reuse gift cards that you have not used or plan to use as gifts. Reusing a gift card is also useful as a trick when you say, “I’m in a pinch this month, but I have to prepare a gift!”

If it is unused and like new, it will be reused as a gift for someone. If you are tired of being in a wallet for a long time, you can buy a new gift card for gift with a gift card. However, please note that there are cases where you cannot buy a gift card with a gift card. If you have a big gift card, it’s a good idea to split it up into smaller cards and use them as gifts for several people.

If you want to reuse your old gift card as a gift, recharge your cash to the right amount. If your card is scratched, you can recharge your cash at any online shop of the same brand to give it a gift and it will even wrap beautifully.

Also, if you are reluctant to reuse the card itself as a gift, it is also effective to buy a gift with a card you do not need.

You can always donate

Schools and churches always welcome gift card donations. You may be eligible for tax deductions if you donate a gift card to an NPO. You can easily donate gift cards from CharityGiftCertificates.org.

Alternatively, you can purchase donation items with unnecessary gift cards. For example, you might buy a donation ball with a sports brand card, or donate clothes with a brand that you don’t use.

It’s great that something that isn’t useful to you can be useful to someone!
