Sell Your Express Gift Card for Cash

Updated September 23, 2026 · Reviewed by Kirill Novikov, FlipGift founder

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 Express gift card for cash without handing anyone the number or PIN. You use the card to pay for a buyer's Express 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.

Why Express gift cards go unused

Express cards are gifted around graduations and new jobs — styles change before balances do.

How to sell your Express card the safe way

  1. List your Express card — brand and balance only, never the code.
  2. A buyer who wants workwear from Express pays for their order into escrow.
  3. You place their order with your card and upload the confirmation and tracking.
  4. When they confirm delivery, escrow pays you.

Frequently asked questions

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

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

How much will I get for my Express 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 Express card?

When the buyer confirms their Express 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.
