what's up everyone this is Kevin your
financial tutor this video is a little
bit different than the normal videos I
release on my channel and how to make
more money or save more money in this
video we talked about how to sell those
unused gift cards that you no longer wat
and turn them into straight cash okay
this is a super simple tutorial I won't
walk you guys step-by-step on how to
sell the gift cards how to get the most
amount of money and how to not get
scammed so make sure to stay tuned and
let's get started in this video so
before we get started with the video me
actually showing you how to sell these
gift cards and get money from them I
want to give you guys some general
advice that actually really did help me
out number one is to check out the
different websites some websites might
give you more or less or more depending
on if you know get an Amazon gift card
or rather if you want to trade cash to
your checking account so I would
definitely recommend putting them all in
it only takes the time or two and you
can actually give back maybe a 10 to 15
percent more money and going with a
different company my second tip is to
not list to get paradis on eBay at all I
actually did this a few years back and I
actually got scammed so I had a gift
card from Best Buy listed it sold it and
I thought would be smart and the fastest
way if I just gave them you know the
code for the actual gift card so we can
use it online they then use the money
all the battles on the gift card and
then open up a case with eBay and said
that they never got the gift card or
they said that it wasn't any money on
the gift card so they definitely scammed
me and I want to make sure that you guys
do that at all cost and even if you guys
tried to ship them the gift card I feel
like with eBay there's a lot likelihood
of making scam you and eBay tends to
favor the buyer in almost all cases and
I've been selling an eBay for about 10
years now so I would highly recommend to
stay away from gift cards with eBay if
you guys have a Visa gift card instead
of a regular gift card only meant for
one store I would highly recommend they
check out my other video tutorial with
this visa if you're current in this
tutorial reaction would be saving more
money being lesson fees and you're gonna
get your money a lot faster so I would
highly recommend you watch that video
but if you have a gift card just to one
store or whatever you're gonna have to
stay with this video and check out this
tutorial before I mentioned the websites
I also want to say that I did a lot of
research
once and check it out different websites
making sure that you guys do not get its
hand and get the most amount of money
from the Sun you give courage to these
website so please do smash that like
button it really does help out the
channel and with the YouTube algorithm
so more people could enjoy this type of
content but enough of all that and let's
get started the first company in usually
number one that I go if to sell my gift
cards is called race now this company
has actually been around the longest so
it has the best reputation I would say
with selling gift cards you know you're
not gonna get scammed
I've sold personally multiple gift cards
on this website and had a really good
experience I have typically found that
race has given me the most amount of
money for my gift cards like my first
tip I always go through all the
different websites to make sure that I
get the highest amount of money from the
gift card but raised is typically the
highest one so it's always the first one
that I decided to go with when I'm
looking to sell a gift card the second
website that I would also highly
recommend is car pool so this is another
website that I've actually personally
used and had another great experience on
it so it kind of goes back on depending
on where your gift card is for it you
might get more money off a certain
website so this is once again another
great website that highly recommend 3
other websites that I personally have
not used but I found listed time and
time again on other resources as a good
place to look to sell your gift cards
are clip card card cash and card
kangaroo so all these websites I like I
said have them personally used but I
heard great things from already views on
other videos and other sources online
saying that these also give them good
prices on the gift card but for me my
situation raised in cart pool have
always given me the best return for some
of my gift cards so usually my first
steps when I go to sell my gift card is
I check out raised and then car pool and
not only 3 websites that I mentioned
like I said it's really easy to list
your card for sale I'm raised and we're
actually gonna walk you through that
step by step right now ok so now we're
on the Rays website it's super easy to
create account and only takes about a
minute or so after your accounts up and
running you want to click on sell and
then just type in the name of your gift
card right here you see right here that
raised has quite a big inventory
of different gift cards as they buy and
sell on their website and I found race
to have actually one of the biggest
inventories so most likely they're gonna
have your store or gift card for
purchase or sale on their website so
right here it's a super simple we're
gonna go over my Lowe's gift card
example you're to one type in the serial
number and then your pin number and it
doesn't matter whether it's a physical
gift card you can hold in your hand or a
gift card you sell both kinds on the
website so just want to list how much
it's for so for my lowest gift card
raises actually gonna list it for a two
point six three percent off of actual
the card value and this is how much the
buyer is gonna pay for the gift card
well that doesn't mean that's all the
money I'm gonna be receiving if you look
below at the green part that's actually
be how much money I'm gonna be receiving
some people might think that's quite a
bit less than what they anticipated but
that's just kind of the cost of doing
business and like I said raised tends to
be one of the higher websites for when
you start you gift cards Plus at the end
of the day if I know I'm not going to
use the gift card I'd much rather have
cash value in my checking account or
PayPal first is having the gift card to
sit there even if it is considerably
less than the actually on the gift card
so after you fill out this page you just
click continue listing and then that
will make your listing active so then a
potential buyer can purchase your gift
card so it literally only takes about
thirty seconds or so to list your gift
card one thing I like to point out
though when I dualistic a pair for sale
it does give you a percentage that raise
things you should mark off for the
potential buyer but as you can see here
basically all these listings have the
same percentage off so what I like to do
is just mark it down by an extra dime or
nickel that really does separate you
from the competition even if it's a
nickel or ten cents and you're gonna
have a potential buyer buy your gift
card before anyone else's therefore
saving you maybe an extra day or two
having your gift card listed on the
website so once you actually sell your
gift card it is going to take about two
to three days to actually take that
money and transfer it into your PayPal
account and actually
have that money in your hands so that is
one thing to note if you're on a time
crunch you really need money off your
gift card you probably have to sell it
elsewhere maybe to friends or family or
actually use it at the store if you want
to use that money in your a time crunch
but if you don't mind waiting several
days in order to get the money I would
highly recommend raise and carpool well
if ever my tutorial on how to turn your
gift cards into cash for the fastest and
for the most profitable way of getting
that money off to get card into cash
