Sell Your Walmart Gift Card
Updated July 23, 2026 · Reviewed by the FlipGift escrow team
Before anything else: FlipGift will never ask for your Walmart card’s number or PIN to buy it from you — that “submit your code, get instant cash” model is exactly how scam sites drain cards. The safe route is a cash sale through escrow: the code stays with you the whole time and the buyer's money is held until delivery is confirmed. We retired card-for-card swapping in July 2026 — trading codes between strangers can't be made safe, because the previous owner still knows the code (here's why). This page lays out what selling through escrow pays and how it protects you.
What selling your Walmart card actually pays
Two honest routes for turning a Walmart card into money — and one we no longer offer:
- Buy-back sites pay 60–85% of face value: you hand over the code first, then wait to see whether the payment sticks.
- Peer resale looks better on paper until a chargeback lands weeks later and the card is already spent.
- Escrow here pays $86.90 on the example above, and the Walmart code never leaves your possession.

If you truly need cash
No judgment — sometimes dollars are the point. The safest route is FlipGift’s escrow cash sale: you never hand over the card number or PIN. Instead, you use your own Walmart card to place an order for a verified buyer, and the buyer’s money — held in escrow the whole time — is released to you once the order is confirmed. Compare that with the two riskier routes: resale marketplaces (CardCash, GiftCash, Raise) buy codes at a 15–40% discount, and “instant cash” sites that ask you to submit your number + PIN up front are a top scam category — the card gets drained and the payout never comes. If a site wants your code before paying you, walk away.
Why Walmart cards go unused — and how to turn them into cash
Plenty of Walmart cards sit in drawers because the balance is awkward or the store isn't a fit. You don't have to eat the loss: sell the value through FlipGift Escrow and you typically net 78–89% of face value — without ever sharing the card's number or PIN, because you redeem it yourself to fulfil the buyer's order.
How selling your Walmart card through escrow works (the short version)
- Say how much of the Walmart balance you will put to work — the code is never requested.
- Accept an order you like — the item, the total and your cash payout are all shown up front.
- Buy it yourself at Walmart and upload the proof: order screenshot plus carrier tracking.
- Get paid from escrow the moment delivery is confirmed.
The code never changes hands, so it can't be drained after the fact. See the full how-to-sell guide. (We retired card-for-card swapping in July 2026 — trading codes between strangers can't be made safe; here's why.)
Worth knowing about Walmart cards
Walmart and Sam’s Club gift cards are interchangeable — both work at either chain, online and in store, and they never expire.
