Selling GC tips.

Giftcardgranny.com and giftcardwiki.com are good aggregators for best rates. Be wary of selling on Ebay as buyer can put in a false claim that it was empty and you can get screwed.

Cardpool:
Verification: 415-419-8787 between the hours of 1230pm - 930pm ET. Have your order # ready.
Offers an extra 6% if taken in the form of amazon GC and will also pay quicker than a check.
If you haven't heard from them give them a call it may be stuck in verification. Large total value is a trigger.

GiftCardZen:
Will cancel the full sale if one of the GC are incorrect.

In general if an order gets cancelled, it's possible those gc are *tarnished* and you may have trouble unloading them. It is possible these sites communicate with each other in this regard as well. In this case you can do the PITA method of using the GC to buy/return items and get a new gc issue.

Was from the 3rd party processor.  However, it was dated 8/10.  Guess I only had one, they just took their sweet time authorizing it/processing it. 

I got this explanation after tweeting the CEO - seemingly unrelated to my tweeting but to a message i sent them a day prior:

"Our payment system has not been updated with your arrival dates. Our finance department is looking into this issue.
Please be patient as we continue to address any concerns you may have. We do guarantee payment in the amount quoted. We understand any frustrations you may have due to this delay and truly apologize."

It's a mess, no matter how you slice it.

Yup.  I actually got a check signed by hand,  and then the regular check the next day (presumably voided).

Unless I see lots of good reviews,  I am done with them

I second that.  Been selling to ABC/CardCash almost exclusively.  They take 1-2 days to verify the cards and the payment is direct deposited promptly after.  After the hassle with GiftCardRescue I realized how reliable and professional ABC/CardCash is.

Just noticed that one of the re seller aggregators has an "arbitrage" page where it lists opportunities for positive sales.  Looks like a lot of the opportunities are to GiftCardRescue.  Also, I'd be wary of reselling a GC that came from another individuals (compared to a "corporate" type off ebay).  Since this aggregator allows you to sort by Ebay it could be useful.  I wish you could filter by which seller is buying the arb opportunity.

ABC/Cardcash sell order placed on 10/20.  Delivered on 10/23.  Still under "review" 11/3...These guys have been good in the past.  This time is taking much longer than usual.

Contacted them to ask the status of the sell order and they responded that it will be processed in 24-48hrs.  No big deal but a bit of a troubling sign from an otherwise smooth reseller.

Limit of $500 a month? Also, you upload the card info to them and they just deposit the money in your bank account? Anything else I should know about before trying them out?
