Sell Your GameStop Gift Card for Cash
Updated October 13, 2026 · Reviewed by Kirill Novikov, FlipGift founder
Sell your GameStop gift card for cash without handing anyone the number or PIN. You use the card to pay for a buyer's GameStop 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 GameStop gift cards go unused
GameStop cards are a default gift for any household with a gamer — and useless to everyone else.
GameStop gift card, trade credit or PowerUp card?
GameStop's gift card FAQ treats three kinds of GameStop balance almost the same way online, which is good news if yours came from a trade-in:
- All three pay on GameStop.com. Gift cards, trade credit and PowerUp Rewards cards holding store credit can be spent at GameStop.com and at U.S. GameStop stores.
- Only with a scratch-off PIN. To use any of them online, the card needs a scratch-off PIN. An older gift card without a 4-digit PIN next to its 19-digit number works only in a store, so it can't fill an order here.
- Trade credit is a card too. It sits on a trade credit card with its own number and PIN, entered on the payment page like a gift card.
- Not for other GameStop gift cards or the third-party currency GameStop sells, such as PlayStation Network cards.
- Keep the order confirmation. GameStop replaces a lost card only against a receipt of a purchase it paid for, and for online use a printout of the order confirmation counts.
How to sell your GameStop card the safe way
- List your GameStop card — brand and balance only, never the code.
- A buyer who wants games from GameStop pays for their order into escrow.
- You place their order with your card and upload the confirmation and tracking.
- When they confirm delivery, escrow pays you.
