Family Financial Tip:
Redeeming Gift Cards for Cash

If you have gift cards that you might not use, or if you don’t really need anything from that store, there are sites where you can trade them in for cash. ABCGiftCards.com, GiftCardCastle.com & GiftCardRescue.com will send you a check after you mail your card in. Most require a $25 minimum balance on the card, and will pay anywhere from 65 to 92 cents on the dollar, depending on the cards retailer. PlasticJungle.com & CardPool.com allow you to simply punch in a cards code online to get cash (no mail in), but these typically have lower pay-outs.
