Just got this email from plastic jungle:

The team at Plastic Jungle would like to thank you for your participation in our gift card programs over the past seven years. Since 2006, Plastic Jungle has been a leader in providing you with great deals on gift cards in a secure marketplace.

As our business has grown and evolved, we have seen that the greatest potential for Plastic Jungle’s long-term success is in working directly with our business partners. As a result, we will no longer be buying and selling gift cards at www.plasticjungle.com. This change is taking place effective today.

With this transition, there are a few important things you should know. First, all orders currently being processed will be honored with the same guarantee of service and safety that we have upheld for seven years. Second, our website will be available to allow you to access your account and retrieve gift cards until November 1, 2013. Third, Plastic Jungle will continue to offer gift card exchange services to customers through our partners. Finally, our customer service desk will remain open during this period to answer inquiries and resolve any concerns. If you have any questions, we encourage you to visit our FAQs page or contact Plastic Jungle Customer Success at customersuccess@plasticjungle.com.

Thank you again for being an important part of the Plastic Jungle family over the past seven years. We appreciate all of your support as we begin this exciting new mission as a company.

All the best,
The Plastic Jungle Team

A sad day in the gift card world

I think Cardcash losses credibility by being partnered with the loser.

the way I understood it was, that pj was going down so they fig to salvage s/t, might as well make something when they're customers buy from cardcash. Seems like pj partnered with cardcash, not the other way around, cardcash site doesn't say anything about being partners with pj... Just my observation

I think PJs lack of CS helped do them in. Bad word of mouth spreads quickly.
How is CCs CS?

Hey guys, competitor to PJ here... If you'd be willing to consider us as an alternative, we have competitive payouts and we're trying to differentiate ourselves with customer service: we actually pick up the phone.

For volume sellers we can also accept electronic, which most companies don't do. Interested in any feedback on how we can compete and win your business.

Also, if anyone has any questions about the industry and what goes on behind the scenes, happy to try to answer them. I'm around for a bit, then back after Shabbos.

they will respond to your inquiry but they only carry a 45 day guarantee. If your gift card goes invalid after that you wont get anything from them only option is a credit card dispute.
cardpool carries a 100 day guarantee...

wanna sell my 2 ($100) AA gift cards without having to physically mail in the cards. PJ used to do virtual purchases, any other reliable company doing it?
