Gift Card Exchange - Buy, Sell, Swap - Free Shipping - Plastic Jungle

Use the Plastic Jungle exchange. I turned in a $20 Gap card and got a $17.xx Amazon.com gift card sent to me email within 24 hours.

If it is a large chain, like Applebee's or Ruby Tuesday or Olive Garden, sell it online.

If it is an independent local place, try selling it on craigslist. Otherwise, you could regift it or try to find someone to buy it from you for a small discount. Perhaps a friend likes the restaurant and would give you $45 for your $50 card. Another option would be to donate it to charity. We often have raffles or auctions where part of the prizes are gift cards.

A lot of restaurants are owned by the same company. Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse, Red Lobster, Bahama Breeze, and Smokey Bones are all owned by the same company, so a gift card for one of those places is accepted at all of them.

Gift cards don't expire.

Some of them still do. Not many, but I did have a BP card that expired on me recently.
