How Can I Get the Remaining Balance on My Used Gift Card in Cash?

Have you got enough funds for a few more purchases but don’t want to spend them? You can turn your gift card into cash in one of the ways presented in the table below:

How To Get Cash for Your Used Gift CardDetails
Sell it onlineNumerous websites are dedicated to selling and buying used gift cards. Bear in mind that these websites work for profit, so you probably won’t be able to sell your card for more than 80%–90% of its value
Use a kioskYou should locate one of the numerous card exchange kiosks and trade your card for cash. Note that kiosks accept only plastic gift cards since you have to insert them into the machine
Make purchases on behalf of someone elseIf you know someone who would like a few items from Saks, you can buy them using your gift card and get the reimbursement in cash

If you’re not set on getting cash for your gift card, you can still put it to good use if you:

  • Exchange the card for another of similar value—You can swap your card via one of the websites that offer these exchanges
  • Give away the card—This option is still better than letting the card collect dust

In case you have only a couple of dollars left on your gift card, you can take advantage of a gift card cash back policy in 11 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.

What Is the Gift Card Cash Back Law?

You may be eligible to get a reimbursement for the remaining funds on your gift card if you:

  1. Live in one of the states with a gift card cash back policy
  2. Have a balance on your gift card that doesn’t exceed a specific amount

Most gift card cash back states require companies to provide a cash reimbursement to gift card users if the leftover amount on their gift cards is below $5. Exceptions are the following states:

  1. California—$10
  2. Colorado—$3
  3. Vermont and Long Island—$1
