Cash for gift cards
I finally used my five-year old Pottery Barn gift certificate! After searching high and low for a use for the card, which had $46 on it, I gave it to my sister. She's a nursing student and could use it more than me, I figure. I certainly had plenty of chances.
There are other, however, more lucrative ways of unloading unwanted gift cards. On GiftCardBuyBack.com you can sell your cards to the site for 65 to 83% of the value. Most redemption rates fell in the 70s.
At TGIFriday's, a $100 card is worth $75 in cash. A $100 Chevron card is worth $82. Browse what they pay for cards at restaurants, apparel stores and other stores.
On their companion site, GiftCardsAgain.com, you can buy gift cards at a 10% discount, roughly. Cards for Jama Juice can be bought for 92% of its value. Cards for Banana Republic can be bought for 90% of its value. Cards for Coldstone Creamery can be purchased for 92% of its value. Cards for AMC/Loews Theaters can be purchased for 85% of its value. Cards for Starbucks can be purchased for 90% of its value. Hot dog!
Cards may be returned up to 30 days after the order date with some rules. Shipping is free in most cases.
Thanks, Vernon!

I used to buy a large variety of gift cards from my daughter's grade school. (We had a minimum requirement to "donate/purchase" for the school year.)
Granted it's been a couple years, but I believe this is still the case. The AMC gift cards were the only ones that I knew of that you could actually get the balance back in cash, from the customer service desk.
