Since your article came out a new service has come online - www.cashfromcards.com. This service allows you to transfer the balance of your Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover gift c ard to PayPal. It is currently the only service of its type.

There's also a site, DonateAGiftCard.com where you can just donate your gift cards, if you're into the whole charity thing.

How about a link to Plastic Jungle?

What happens if the seller already spent the money on the card? Then wouldn't you get ripped off if you bought it unknowingly?

If I get a gift card to a place I don't shop (and I get plenty as I am a teacher), the next time I need to purchase a gift for someone that I am not close to, I use one of the cards and actually purchase a gift there. For example, I just got invited to a wedding of one of my children's friends. I had a gift card to J.C. Penney. So I went there and bought a wedding gift and it cost me a little of 15 cents! Now, if the couple cannot use the gift, they can exchange it at Penney's and I have saved myself money.

Sell on Ebay. You won't lose as much as on PJ even with the Ebay and Paypal fees.

While this looks like a great idea, I noted that Plastic Jungle's guarentee doesn't seem to account for the fact that many gift cards and certificates expire (even if the card itself doesn't say this, I've found that many stores won't let you use a gift card if it's over 6-months and/or 1 year old. Here's a really interesting article on the topic, courtesy of the NYTimes: www.nytimes.com/.../07wwln_freak.t.html

I never understood the purpose of gift cards. Why not just give somebody money? At least money doesn't expire. If you want a gift to be thoughtful or meaningful, gift cards aren't very heartwarming anyway.
