How to Sell Visa and Mastercard Gift Cards for Cash
Selling Visa & Mastercard Gift Cards
Visa and Mastercard gift cards are "open-loop" — they can be used almost anywhere. This makes them highly desirable, but also slightly more complex to sell due to fraud prevention measures.
How the Process Works
- Check your balance: Visit the card issuer website (printed on the back) and verify the exact balance.
- Select Visa or Mastercard: Find them under the "Prepaid" category on our sell page.
- Provide card details: Card number, expiration date, and the exact balance. Do NOT share the CVV until instructed by our team.
- Upload card photo: A clear photo of the physical card (front and back, with partial numbers visible) helps verification.
- Verification period: Prepaid cards take slightly longer to verify (2-12 hours) due to additional fraud checks.
- Receive payment: Once verified, payout is sent to your chosen method.
Visa & Mastercard Gift Card Rates
Current rates: 70-82% of face value.
Why are rates slightly lower than store-specific cards?
- Higher fraud risk — open-loop cards are more susceptible to chargebacks.
- Balance verification is more complex.
- Some cards have purchase fees that reduce effective value.
Important Tips for Selling Prepaid Cards
- Keep the purchase receipt: This significantly speeds up verification.
- Do NOT register the card online: Registered cards with your name/address are harder to transfer.
- Check for dormancy fees: Some prepaid cards charge monthly fees after 12 months of inactivity.
- Know your card type: Vanilla Visa, GiftCardMall, and Green Dot cards all have slightly different processes.
