Sell your gift cards for cash online — without ever sending the card
Stuck with store credit you’ll never use? Fulfil real buyer orders with it and get paid in cash. You keep the card the whole time, so there’s no handoff and no chargeback risk.
A better way to cash out store credit
Keep your card
You never hand over a code or ship a card. You place the order yourself, so there’s nothing for a scammer to drain.
No chargeback risk
Resale buyers can reverse payments and leave you with a dead card. Here the buyer’s money is pre-locked in escrow before you lift a finger.
Better effective rate
Skip the steep haircut resale marketplaces take. You set your own discount and keep the spread as cash.
Any brand works
Even cards with no resale market have value here — if the store ships, your balance can fulfil orders.

From card to cash, step by step
You never ship a card. You fulfil real orders with it and get paid from escrow.
- 1
List your capacity
Pick a store, say how much of your gift-card balance you want to put to work, and set the discount you’re offering.
- 2
Get matched
Matching pairs your capacity with a buyer whose order fits your balance and your discount range.
- 3
The buyer’s money is locked first
You only start once the payment is in escrow, so you’re never out of pocket on a no-show. FlipGift holds it — the buyer can’t pull it back on a whim.
- 4
Order & ship
Place the order with your own card and ship to the buyer’s verified address, then upload the order screenshot and tracking. The card code never leaves you.
- 5
Buyer confirms
A short inspection window protects the buyer; address-matched tracking protects your payout if they go quiet.
- 6
Get paid
The full amount lands in your FlipGift wallet — nothing is held back — and you can withdraw it right away, as crypto or as a prepaid Visa. Payouts are sent by hand after a review and your account’s security hold, which shrinks as your trust tier grows.
Selling a gift card without losing half its value
The usual ways to sell a gift card all take a bite. A buy-back site pays 60–85% of face and makes you type in the full number and PIN, so you lose value and expose the code. A peer marketplace lets a stranger send you money that can later be reversed — leaving you with a drained card and a chargeback. Both share the same flaw: you give up control of the card before you’re safely paid.
Escrow removes that trade-off because you never let go of the card. What you’re actually selling is its purchasing power: a buyer who wants something from that store pays into escrow first, you place their order with your own card, and the money is released to you the moment they confirm delivery. The card stays in your wallet the entire time — there’s nothing to drain, nothing to reverse, and no code to leak.
Why you keep more this way
A resale site has to buy your card below value to fund its own margin and resell it at a profit. Escrow cuts that middleman out: the discount you give goes straight to a real buyer, not a reseller, so the same card nets you more cash. You set the discount, so you control the rate — and the only cost is a flat 2.5% on your side, shown before you accept.
Even cards with no resale market have full value here, because the only thing that matters is whether the store ships. A niche brand a buy-back site won’t touch can still fulfil a buyer’s order.
Which cards cash out fastest
The most-wanted brands move quickest — universal retailers like Amazon and Walmart, and brands people rarely discount like Lululemon. The Gift Card Value Index shows which brands buyers want most right now and which trade at the deepest discount. Card-for-card trading is not offered: it closed in July 2026, and the swap page explains why.
Holiday gift cards you won’t use
December and January are when most people sell: duplicates, a store you never visit, a restaurant across town. Check each balance first, and spend promotional bonus cards before anything else — they can’t be sold and usually expire by March. The January guide to unwanted holiday gift cards covers what to keep, what to sell and the scams that peak after Christmas.

Seller questions
How is this different from selling my gift card on CardCash or Raise?+
Resale sites buy your card at a steep discount and require you to hand over the card number. With FlipGift you keep the card, spend it on a buyer’s order, and capture more of its value as cash — with escrow protecting both sides.
What does FlipGift charge — what are the fees?+
A small, transparent flat platform fee taken from escrow at release. No subscriptions, no listing fees, no commission on the card’s value; the fee is shown before either side commits.
Can I sell store credit or a non-transferable gift card?+
Yes. Store credit and non-transferable balances can’t be sold on resale marketplaces at all, but a seller can still spend them buying a buyer’s order — so FlipGift monetizes value no other site can.
Do I have to send anyone my gift card or card number?+
No. Sellers keep their gift card the entire time and only use it to buy the buyer’s item. Card numbers and PINs are never shared, which removes the #1 gift-card scam and chargeback risk.
When does the seller actually get paid?+
Only after the buyer confirms delivery, or after the protection window closes with no dispute. Until then 100% of the payment sits in escrow, so a seller can’t take the money and fail to ship.
How and where do I get paid — how do withdrawals work?+
Your earnings land in your FlipGift wallet, and there are two ways out. Crypto to your own address: USDT or USDC on Solana, BNB Chain, Base, Tron or Ethereum, or DAI on Ethereum, BNB Chain and Base. Or a digital prepaid Visa card — any whole-dollar amount from $20 to $1,000, spendable anywhere Visa is accepted in the US, with no crypto wallet needed at all. A withdrawal costs 2% (minimum $2, capped at $25); a card adds the issuer's own 2.5% purchase cost on top, so the full face value stays on the card. Crypto payouts have per-network minimums because network costs differ — $10 on Solana, BNB Chain and Base, $100 on Tron, $300 on Ethereum. Every withdrawal is reviewed and sent manually by our team, and a security hold applies that shrinks as your trust tier grows.
