Article SummaryX If you want to turn a gift card into cash, exchange it for cash online, trade it in at a kiosk at your local grocery store, or simply sell it to a friend. Visit a website like Cardpool or Raise, which will purchase the card from you. Just keep in mind that they typically won’t pay you for the full value of the gift card. You can also use a Gift Card Exchange kiosk, which is usually bright yellow, located outside your local grocery store. Insert the card information, then accept or reject the offer they give you for the card. If you accept the offer, choose between a voucher that can be taken to a cashier for cash or a Visa gift card. Alternatively, if you know someone who shops at the store your gift card is for, simply ask them if they’d be willing to trade cash for the full value.
