  2. Exchange your gift card
  3. Resell items from Target

Selling Your Gift Card Online

Selling your card online will require you to be patient and willing to accept only a percentage of your remaining balance. Here’s how you can do it:

  • Find a reseller website—When searching for a reseller website, be wary of amateurish-looking ones. Don’t forget to do proper research before selling your gift card
  • List your gift card on a marketplace—Many online platforms such as Reddit, eBay, and Facebook have marketplaces for gift cards. List your card for sale and wait for a potential buyer

Exchanging Your Gift Card

If you live in a state that has Coinstar kiosks, find one, insert your gift card into the machine, and get cash for it. You will only get about 80% of the funds that are left on your card.

Reselling Items From Target

Buying items from Target and selling them for cash can take a while, especially if you don’t have enough balance for a proper purchase. In that case, you can wait for a sale and continue with the plan then.
