I love gift cards and I use them a lot, but every once in a while I get one that’s just not something I’ll ever redeem. Whether it’s for a store that isn’t in my area or the products just don’t fit my lifestyle, the card ends up stuck in my wallet and I end up wishing I could trade it in for a different one!
Well thanks to CardSwap.ca, now I can! CardSwap.ca lets Canadians buy, sell and trade their gift cards so that sellers can get a cash payment for an unwanted gift card and buyers can purchase cards for their favourite retailers at a discounted rate! And by using the money you make selling your gift card to buy another one you really want, you can save even more!
I received a $50 CardSwap credit to test out the service for myself and I really liked how easy the purchase process was. I just logged into my account, chose a gift card I wanted and used the secure checkout to purchase it with my credit! Buyers can choose to pay with Visa, Mastercard, Interac Online or PayPal so there are plenty of payment options to suit everyone.
I really appreciate the CardSwap Guarantee too. All gift cards are validated with the merchant to confirm the full face value before being listed on the site. And CardSwap offers a full money-back guarantee to unsatisfied buyers too! If a gift card is different than the one that was purchased, buyers have three weeks to request a refund on their purchase!
For sellers, CardSwap.ca pays up to 92% of the value of your gift card. Finding out how much you’ll get is a breeze; just visit the website, enter the merchant’s name and the amount of the gift card and then receive your offer! Once you’ve decided that you want to sell, you can mail in your gift card and receive a guaranteed payment!
CardSwap.ca wants you to try out their service for yourself, so the company is offering everyone that signs up using the special link in this review a free $5 CardSwap credit to their account! Just click on the image below to get started. And to top it all off, the company is giving one lucky Mommy Kat and Kids reader a $50 CardSwap.ca credit good for any gift card on the CardSwap.ca site!
