Sell Your IKEA Gift Card for Cash

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

IKEA cards from returns and gifting wait for the next move or room redo.

Open the official IKEA gift card balance page.
Enter the card number printed on your card.
Enter the PIN or security code (usually under a scratch-off panel on the back).
Submit to see your current balance instantly.

Frequently asked questions

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

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

How much will I get for my IKEA 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 IKEA card?

When the buyer confirms their IKEA 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.
