Money Monday: Cash for Cards

Have I got a dealio for you today! Cash back for all those gift cards you don’t want.

Gift Card Granny is a comparison website that tells you who will give you the most bang for your card. What’s even better, I got even more back than what the site indicated! I sold one of my gift cards on PlasticJungle.com for 85% of the value of the card. I indicated I wanted to be reimbursed via Amazon gift card (which is a place I shop all the time), entered in the number of the gift card I don’t need, and within 30 minutes I had an Amazon gift code in my inbox.  I activated that code and voila, that money is now a credit in my Amazon shopping cart.

No mailing the gift card to someone who buys it off of you on Craigslist. No waiting for your new gift card to be mailed to you. You can even get the money directed to your PayPal account, but PayPal always takes a cut of your payments, so beware.

Holy moly, this is a good deal.
