YOUR GIFT CARD IS WORTH CASH?

Gift cards are a great idea for holiday gifting; not only because they allow the recipient to purchase anything they want at their favorite store, but also because gift cards can be regifted to someone else, or the recipient can trade them in on a gift card exchange site for cash!

BUY USED GIFT CARDS?

Now that might sound a little offensive to some, but it shouldn't. Some people appreciate the gift card more than a gift because they like to pay it forward. Maybe they are someone that really does have everything, and you just made their lives a little bit easier, so they don't have to go shopping or spend their money on more gifts for others.

Sometimes people have every intention of using the gift card, but for some reason or other, they just never get around to it. That's when a gift card exchange can come in handy.

WHAT'S BETTER: CASH OR YOUR GIFT CARD?

It might sound bad that people will turn your thoughtful gift card into cash, but hey! It's better than the card sitting on a shelf or in the back of a drawer never being used. Usually, the person exchanges the card, and will get somewhere around 80-85% of the value; but again, it's better than wasting away in the bottom of your purse.
