ClipKard Alternative: Keep More Than a Buy-Back Offer

ClipKard is a direct gift-card buyer: you get a quote, send in the card, and receive cash. Simple — but the simplicity is priced in. Offers typically land between 65% and 90% of face value, physical cards travel by mail (add days), and, like every buy-back service, the sale is your card's number and PIN changing hands. Here's how FlipGift solves the same problem with less value lost.

How ClipKard works

• Instant quote, discounted. The offer depends on the brand's resale demand — popular brands closer to 90%, everything else drifts toward 65%.
• Physical cards ship by mail. USPS tracking, then verification, then payout by check or PayPal — days end to end.
• The card leaves your hands. Number, PIN, plastic — everything goes to the buyer. If anything goes wrong after handoff, disputes are on their terms.

The FlipGift alternative — two doors

Full value: swap card-for-card

On FlipGift Swap you trade your unwanted card for a card you will actually spend. No listing, no mail, no fee — a $100 card becomes ≈$100 of a brand you chose. Both cards' balances are verified before any code changes hands, and codes are revealed to both sides simultaneously.

Cash: sell without ever sharing the code

On FlipGift Escrow the card physically and digitally never leaves you. You use it to place a real buyer's order at that store; the buyer pre-paid into escrow; delivery confirmed — you're paid. Net proceeds typically run 78–89% of face value, at the top of ClipKard's range, without mailing anything or surrendering a code.
