Sell Your Hobby Lobby Gift Card for Cash
Updated September 29, 2026 · Reviewed by Kirill Novikov, FlipGift founder
Sell your Hobby Lobby gift card for cash without handing anyone the number or PIN. You use the card to pay for a buyer's Hobby Lobby 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 Hobby Lobby gift cards go unused
Hobby Lobby cards idle between crafting seasons.
Hobby Lobby's shipping rules decide which orders you can fill
Hobby Lobby's FAQ makes the card easy to use online and strict about where orders go:
- Online and in stores. Hobby Lobby gift cards can be redeemed at hobbylobby.com, and guest checkout works, so no account is needed. Hobby Lobby sells physical cards only, no eGift cards.
- Only the 48 contiguous states. Hobby Lobby doesn't ship to Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories or APO/FPO addresses, so a buyer there can't be served with this card.
- A street address for merchandise. P.O. boxes are accepted only for orders that contain nothing but gift cards.
- One order, one address, no changes. A placed order can't be changed, and it can be cancelled only if you ask quickly. Large or bulky orders may arrive by freight.
- Keep the card after ordering. A refund on an online order paid with a gift card comes back as a gift card, to you as the payer, so a problem with the buyer's item is settled on the FlipGift deal.
How to sell your Hobby Lobby card the safe way
- List your Hobby Lobby card — brand and balance only, never the code.
- A buyer who wants crafts from Hobby Lobby 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.
