Card Swap Giveaway

November 26, 2012

When your holiday gift list is too big and your time to shop is too little, gift cards might be your best option.

Big mall dollars are an easy and safe bet, but selecting a card from a single retailer shows that you’ve really put some thought into it.

But what do you do when you’re the recipient of another one Auntie June’s ‘Petco’ gift cards when you don’t even have any pets? Her ‘thoughtful’ gift is your worst nightmare…

Sell it to Card Swap!

I’ve recently been the recipient of such a card, and found this site that has become my go-to for not only purchasing cards but as a place to sell the ones I will never use!

How it works…

Register an account with Card Swap and when you get a card you’d prefer the cash over, you can sell it to them! Submit the card details and they’ll make you an offer for up to 92% of the original value.

(Popular brands will get the best offers)

You can also use the site to purchase a wide arrangement of Gift Cards as well, and when you do it there, you’ll accumulate points with each purchase that can be redeemed for more gift cards.

Finally a perk for you while you purchase gifts for others!

So this holiday instead of dreading Auntie June’s gift, you’ll know its as good as cash in hand!

And as my personal gift to you this season, I’m giving away a $50 Gift Card!

You’ll have 2 ways to enter.

#1 Check out the website HERE and comment below telling me what  $50GC you’d like

  1. What a rad idea!!thanks for letting us know!

    Well since Tiffany’s doesn’t come in 50$ increments ;), definately Aritzia. I love to treat myself to nice sweater or dress from there. 🙂

  2. I think I’d like The Shoppers or Chapters gift card. Wasn’t this something that was on the Dragons Den by someone who was Canadian? Go Canada!! 🙂 Totally a great idea.

  3. I would love to win a toys r us gift card to donate to the local rescue mission/ homeless shelter to help provide a few toys to some of the less fortunate kids in my city.

  4. What a fantastic idea! I’m always harbouring gift cards in my purse cuz I’m the WORST at spending them… Would have no problem spending a $50 Chapters GC though!

  5. I would like to use the $50 on either a timmy’s card or a gas card.
