  • Gift Card to Cash Transfer (via Third-Party Platforms): Amazon doesn’t support transferring or converting gift cards to cash. However, you can convert unredeemed or unused gift cards to cash on third-party marketplaces. Platforms that provide this service sometimes charge a small fee.
  • Transfer Gift Card to Subscription Payment: Customers in the United States and U.S. territories can pay for Prime membership and Prime Video Channel subscription using their gift card balance. If you’re a new subscriber, adding a backup payment method (debit or credit card) grants you access to a free trial when signing up for Prime or Prime Video Channel. Customers paying for their subscription/membership using only their gift card balance won’t get a free trial.

Use Third-Party Exchanges or Marketplaces

If you’re yet to redeem your gift card, it’s possible to sell the gift card on social media and online marketplace platforms . People are often open to gift card exchanges where you might trade one gift card for another. Fraudulent individuals exist on these marketplaces and platforms. Hence, do your due diligence and trade your gift cards for cash on reputable platforms with positive reviews to avoid being scammed.

Buy Items and Resell for Cash

An alternative to converting your gift card balance to cash in your bank account is buying items for family or friends in return for cash. That way, your friends receive the items they would buy anyway, and you get cash in your bank account that you can use however you like.

It’s easy to sell gift cards online, but it’s also easy to fall victim to scams. There are just as many shady trading marketplaces on the internet as there are legitimate ones, so research before choosing a platform or marketplace to sell your gift card.

Look out for reputable platforms with genuine reviews and feedback, particularly on social media. Not all platforms with large social media following are legitimate. So, check for customer reviews on social media sites and forums like Twitter, Reddit, Quora, Facebook, etc. If you’re trading your gift card on peer-to-peer exchanges, ensure the buyer is verified and has positive reviews.

Marketplaces that offer an escrow payment system are safer and recommended. After choosing your preferred platform, we recommend selling a small amount you can afford to lose as a test r
