Sell us your card

We pay a flat 85% because we’re an independent small business built to partner with sellers.

Paid after verification period

Alright here’s the hard part: As we launch, and for new sellers, there is a long verification period until you get paid for your card. The verification period is designed to prevent fraud, so sellers cannot sell us their card and then also cash it out. We ban sellers who list cards that have less balance when we check them over the month. You can remove or cancel your listing anytime before it sells.

Withdraw cash or crypto

Once your balance is ready, keep it to buy discount gift cards or unique one-time-use (OTU) coupons on Checkout Saver—or withdraw via PayPal, bank transfer, or crypto.

Sell your gift cards from 60+ stores

We buy gift cards from dozens of top brands. Select a store to get started.

Tips for Selling Gift Cards Successfully

No need to set your own sales price

Checkout Saver pays a flat rate of 85% of face value—we are built as the industry’s leading purchaser for sellers who want a clear, high payout. Popular brands with full, accurate balances usually move fastest.

Protect codes and respect the hold

Never share codes outside Checkout Saver. Seller KYC (identity verification) and the post-sale hold exists to stop fraud— plan for that window before you list if you need to sell your gift card instantly.

Time listings with shopping seasons

Demand often rises around holidays and major sale events. Listing ahead of peak weeks can help you turn gift cards into cash—or crypto—faster.

Why sell gift cards to Checkout Saver?

We pay a flat 85% for gift cards—because we’re a small USA business with low overhead, looking to partner with consumers and pay them fair rates.

Highest rates, fair partnership

Large exchanges stack fees and discounts. We’re independent, USA-based, and pay a clear flat 85%. When you sell us your card, you’re partnering with a small business that wants you to earn top dollar.

Account verification (KYC)

Sellers verify their account before selling. New seller accounts are onboarded through our process and start with smaller cards until their trust rating goes up.

Industry-best fraud protection

Checkout Saver has a strict policy against fraud and an industry-best proprietary fraud detection system. Cards must sell before payout, and funds are released after a verification period of up to 30 days as part of fraud prevention — your card won’t sell quickly, but it will sell for the most cash. This stops bad actors from selling a card to us and then cashing it out themselves.

Cash, PayPal, or crypto

After your card sells and payout is released, funds hit your Checkout Saver balance. Keep it to buy discount gift cards or OTU coupons—or withdraw via PayPal, bank transfer, or crypto.

Why Sell Gift Cards?

People sell gift cards for cash online when they received the wrong store, switched brands, need bill money, or would rather hold Bitcoin or another crypto than a single retailer balance. If you are asking “should I sell my gift card or keep it?”, sell when you will not shop that brand soon— idle cards help no one.

Selling beats informal trades with strangers and beats watching value expire. Also have unused codes? Submit a free coupon, explore OTU coupons, or sell coupons in the same Checkout Saver account.

Benefits of Selling Gift Cards

The upside of a smart sale is both financial and practical—especially when you can choose gift cards or crypto through the same wallet.

Financial benefits

Cash, PayPal, or crypto payouts

When you sell a gift card with us, funds land in your Checkout Saver balance after the sale clears. From there you can withdraw via PayPal, other cash-friendly wallet options, or crypto—ideal if your goal is crypto rather than another store card.

Strong rates from a lean buyer

We are independent and self-funded with lower overhead than large exchanges. That structure is built to pay sellers more fairly when you sell gift cards on supported brands— a flat 85% of face value.

Convenience benefits

Sell from your phone

No meetups and no mailing plastic to strangers. Choose a store, submit details, and track the listing. Browse all stores whenever you need another brand.

Verification that protects payouts

Seller KYC plus our verification period stop the “list then drain the card” scam. Honest sellers get paid after a verification period of up to 30 days as part of fraud prevention— your card won’t sell quickly, but it will sell for the most cash.

How to Sell Gift Cards Online

Several platforms let you sell gift cards for cash online. Large exchanges such as Raise and CardCash offer broad brand coverage and listing-style pricing. Fees, hold times, and net payouts differ— always compare the real take-home before you commit a card code.

For many sellers, Checkout Saver is the preferred path: we buy as a high-paying independent partner, verify accounts, and pay into your balance after the card sells and clears the anti-fraud hold. That balance is where crypto withdrawals become practical—withdraw crypto when you want digital assets, or choose PayPal / gift cards when you need fiat flexibility. We mention competitors for context; we do not claim they are illegal or wrong for every card.

Checkout Saver

We pay more money

Flat 15% take—85% to you. No listing fee layered on top.

Other exchanges

They pay faster

Often ~15% selling fee, then you list ~10% below face to move— about a 25% total haircut.

What Are Gift Cards?

New to shopping? A gift card is prepaid value for a retailer or payment network—plastic, e-gift email, or a digital code. Brands issue them for birthdays, promotions, and returns. When that store is not where you shop, the balance is trapped credit. Learning how to sell gift cards turns that credit into money you can spend anywhere.

After a card sells on Checkout Saver, shoppers can purchase it below face value on our discount gift card inventory and often stack cashback plus coupons on the same order.

Extension required for some sell & balance flows

Most gift cards list on this page. Some sell flows need the Chrome extension on desktop. For some retailers, the balance only shows after you add the card to your account through the extension or their app.

When you need it

Use the extension when a retailer won’t show balance until the card is added to an account, or when a sell path asks you to complete steps in Chrome. Otherwise list from this page’s store selector as usual.

Get started

On desktop Chrome, add the free extension, then use this page’s store selector (or a brand sell page) when you are ready to list. New to the flow? Read how it works.
