Pedroia’s babe asked:

I bought a macy’s gift card so I can make an online purchase, but when I got home I found that the shirt I wanted to buy is sold out. Can I return the gift card?

Suppose I buy a gift card at a discount from someone on Craigslist…I meet with them, call and verify that the advertised balance is on the card, pay the guy cash and take my card. What’s to stop the guy from writing down the card number and pin before hand, and then make an online purchase with the card number minutes after I buy it? Should I only buy a card that hasn’t been used already and had the pin number revealed?

I have a few gift cards laying around for almost a year and I want to get cash instead. It seems that some of the websites are rather ripoffs offering rather low buyback price. What is the best website to sell them for the best price? cardpool is offering 80% face value buyback for some of them. Is there another site that beats that offer? Additionally, Is there a law that says that I can go to retailers and exchange those gift cards for cash?

I want to buy this camera at circuit city and I have like 5 gift cards that sum up to about $250, but the camera cost around $300. Will the cashier accept these gift cards all at once? OR Can i put the camera on layaway and pay with a gift card during each visit?

Well I have nearly $100 in GameStop and Best Buy gift cards that I do not want. I just want the cash, and I really don’t want to sell them on Ebay because then I won’t get the full amount.
Kate: ……………………… The gift cards were a GIFT for ME and I don’t want to buy anything from Best Buy/GameStop SO I would like the cash, why would I give it to someone else?

Im wanting to sell a $15 best buy gift card on ebay for $10. Im kinda worried some guy will report is as not working since they have buyer protection. What should I know before I sell a gift card on ebay?

Any ideas? It’s a 100 dollar gift card that can be used for the Google AdWords/AdSense advertisement service.

There’s tons of completed listings on Ebay for Gift Cards and the price they went for is more than the actual value of the card. Such as a Walmart card valued at $100.00 sold for $110.50 plus $.50 to ship (and there is no hidden bonus in the listing). Curious as to what the logic is behind this, if any? Thanks!

Hello,

I’ve just sold a $200+ gift card on eBay. I would like to insure it, but I was wondering if USPS would accept insurance on an envelope containing a gift card if it was mailed using First Class Mail? If not, should I put it in a bigger(6×9 in.) clasp envelope or mail it using a different service through USPS? I don’t want to spend more than $3-5 in shipping costs.

Thanks!

I received a Blockbuster gift card recently, and I’m wondering what all I can do with it. I’m not a Blockbuster member (never even been in one before), so would I be limited to only buying items from the store without a membership? Can I rent without having a permanent membership?

Thank you!
