Diagram of a FlipGift escrow deal: buyer pays into escrow, seller orders with their gift card, the item ships with proof, then the money is released

Sell your Dollar General gift card for cash without handing anyone the number or PIN. You use the card to pay for a buyer's Dollar General order, their money waits in escrow, and it's released to you when the order arrives — typically 72–88% of face value, against the 60–85% buy-back sites pay after taking the code.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to share my Dollar General card number or PIN to sell it?

No. You keep the card and use it to pay for a buyer's Dollar General order yourself — the number and PIN are never typed into any site or handed to anyone.

How much will I get for my Dollar General gift card?

Typically 72–88% of face value: you set the discount, the buyer pays that price into escrow, and you keep it minus a 2.5% seller fee and the 2% withdrawal fee. Buy-back sites usually pay 60–85% and take the code first.

How fast do I get paid for my Dollar General card?

When the buyer confirms their Dollar General order arrived — or automatically about 16 days after it ships if they never respond. You can then withdraw as crypto or a digital prepaid Visa card.
