I just bought a Home Depot card.
It turned out to be a “store credit”
and I couldn’t use it online.
There are deals online not available at the store.
Makes a difference to me
From what I could tell, no where did it mention I was buying a store credit.
Online, a pin number is asked for.
Well, the card I got doesn’t have one.

I was going to use PlasticJungle for a Starbucks gift card once. Then I decided to use the whole $50 and got wrapped into the Starbucks daily coffee group. Haha

Another option for gift card trading is http://cardcash.com, trade for other gift cards or get cash for them. Like Jane said, if you have the time you can find the best deal for your particular situation across a few sites. Good to have options.

This looks like a handy service, but I’m wondering how difficult it would be for someone to be able to pass off a used or expired gift card. The site says all transactions are guaranteed, so I guess they would resolve it if there ever was a problem. It’s just my first time seeing sites like this, so I’m a little hesitant to try it out.

I always research the different options available: gift card rescue, cardpool… For every gift card I need to sell there is another site that provides me with the best offer.

PlasticJungle is a good card exchange site, especially because it offers more payment options than it’s competitors, and for many gift card it pays more than the rest.
