Can You Get Cash For Your Southwest Gift Card?

Southwest Airlines doesn’t allow you to redeem your remaining balance unless required by law. There are 11 U.S. states, plus Puerto Rico, that have a gift card cash back policy. They typically have a limit of $5 for redeeming your balance. Still, some states, like California, will allow you to get up to $10 for your gift card.

What To Do With the Remaining Balance on Your Southwest Gift Card

You have a few options for using the remaining balance on your gift card:

• Book a flight—If there are any available flights that you can pay with the remaining amount, you can book one and go on a vacation. In case you don’t have sufficient funds, wait for a last-minute offer and buy a ticket at a lower price
• Surprise a friend—You don’t feel like flying? Airplane tickets serve as great gifts, so you can surprise your friend or a family member by sending them off on a vacation
• Exchange the card—You can find various websites that deal with gift card exchange. You can find one and swap your unwanted gift for another card from a vendor that might better suit your needs. Note that you won’t get the full value for your card by trading it this way
• Sell the card at a kiosk—Find a gift card exchange kiosk near you and get cash for your gift card. You will have to insert the card into the machine and receive some value of the remaining balance on the card
• Put the card up on a marketplace—You can list your used gift card on an online marketplace and sell it this way. This will require you to be patient until your card is sold, but if you don’t want to wait, find a website that will purchase the card directly from you. Either way, you will only receive a percentage of the full value
