Buy, Sell, & Trade Gift Cards at PlasticJungle.com

I was recently sent a $50 American Eagle gift card to review the process of selling gift cards at Plastic Jungle. Here are my thoughts..

On March 2nd I visited PlasticJungle.com with my $50 American Eagle gift card in hand. You can sell your unwanted gift cards or buy discounted gift cards at up to 35% off and get FREE shipping. I was looking to sell so I clicked “Sell Now”.

To see the cash value of your gift card, you simply find the retailer (over 400 currently accepted) and type in the amount of your card (minimum of $25).

For my $50 American Eagle gift card I was offered $38 for a PayPal payment, $38 for a check or $39.90 to trade for an Amazon gift card. I chose PayPal.

The next screen confirms you would like to sell and lets you print off a postage paid mailing label. I just cut off the excess, taped the mailing label to an envelope and placed my gift card inside which I dropped in the mailbox the following day (March 3rd).

On March 8th, just five days after mailing my gift card I had $38 in my PayPal account. Choosing Amazon gift codes would be even faster but a check may take a few days longer.

I was extremely pleased with the ease of selling gift cards and the turn around times to get paid. I wouldn’t hesitate to sell again at Plastic Jungle.

Buying gift cards looks just as easy and so many to choose from including Target and Starbucks! They even discounted eCards which would be great if you needed something quick.

I was given a gift card in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own

Back to school time is upon us and we all know it can be expensive with new clothes, supplies, etc. Selling unwanted gift cards at Plastic Jungle is an easy way to grab some extra cash.

Another way to help stretch the back to school budget is buying discounted gift cards at Plastic Jungle. For instance, right now you can get Kohl’s gift cards at a 12% discount. Match that up with the sale and clearance deals for some incredible savings.

Several months ago I won a $25 Williams Sonoma gift card but couldn’t find anything I wanted could afford so I stuck it in my “Maybe I’ll Ebay Someday” pile.

A couple weeks ago, I came across PlasticJungle.com. The site says they pay up to 90% of the gift card value, so I thought I would try it out.

I punched in my card information and to my surprise, was offered a $20 check or $21 Amazon for my unwanted gift card. Right on. I’m all about the extra dollar so I chose Amazon. :)

I printed out the pre-paid shipping label, taped it on an envelope and dropped it in the mailbox completely FREE to me!

I was still a bit skeptical thinking I may never see this Amazon money or my gift card again but to my surprise less than a week later, I received my Amazon code via email (checks probably take a bit longer).

PlasticJungle also offers gift cards for sale at discounted prices. I haven’t used this service yet but definitely will when I’m in the market for a gift card.
