Where to sell amazon.com gift cards?
« on: October 05, 2011, 12:50:55 AM »
none of the gift card buyback sites seem to be interested in buying amazon gift cards, but i know on ebay they are problably the most valuable. is there any place to instantly sell them for close to what they are worth?

What values do you have and much do you want for them?

GiftCardCastle.com or GiftCards.com but either you wont get good value. On ebay they sell for near their value

Use ebay at your own risk.

The thing is on eBay they sell for more than their value, there has got to be a way to get like 95% of their value without hocking around too much

How many of these gift cards do you have, and for what values? At 95%, I'd be interested in buying some.

Where do you live?

This is just theoretical. I came up with an idea to buy thousands of dollars worth of gift cards from a supermarket when it's 10% back on the chase card and sell it for 95% of it's value for 5% profit. Just wondering if this can be done before I blow thousands on gift cards

There are probably plenty of people here who'd buy...other than that, not sure.

At 95% I'll pass. The points I earn on my CC, plus the protections I get, are worth more than 5% to me.

It depends for what.  On a camera , sure.
On diapers, 5% off is better than a credit card point.

I'm not buying diapers (yet...) :P But your point stands.

I'd also be interested at 95%. And with amazon payments you would still get cc points.

1: does that go against any of the rules to use amazon payments to pay for an amazon.com giftcard? thereby getting cc points?

2: does anyone know if you can use amazon gift cards as the source of payment for amazon payments?

1: Don't see why that should be a problem. Anyway how would they know what you are buying?

Doubtful. If you find out this is possible, please let us know!

so i'm not so familiar with amazon payments but they said an amazon.com gift card can be used for amazon payments but not to send money to a friend. but i also saw on amazon that they dont allow trading of their gift cards
