CardCash

CardCash is an online marketplace that sells gift cards for less than they are worth. It offers a 45-day guarantee, which is what protects you if a card's balance turns out to be wrong. Today its price list has discounted cards for 313 stores. We don't handle orders, so we can't vouch for its customer service. What we can say is that a written guarantee is the thing to look for in any gift card seller, and that spending a card or loading it into your account the day it arrives takes away most of the risk.

Contact CardCash, not the store on the card: the 45-day guarantee is CardCash's. Check the balance as soon as the card arrives, and keep your order email until the card is spent.

Sometimes. Right now it has the lowest price for 56 of the 557 stores that any seller we check has in stock (10%). The cheapest seller changes from store to store and from day to day, so look the store up here before you buy.

An eGift card comes by email and a plastic one by mail; the card's page says which you are buying.

CardCash sends us its prices through its affiliate network, in a list it updates itself. We look for a new list every ten minutes, and if the list it last sent is more than a day and a half old, its prices say so. We don't sell gift cards and never see your order: when you click through, you buy from CardCash directly. We may earn a commission when you do, and it never changes the order sellers are listed in.
