Well, now they are running a Twitter contest starting Aug. 3. View the details on PlasticJungle.com.

Sell it on eBay? Naw, the gift card market is too weird for me. PlasticJungle.com? Yes!

I will get $35 by check for my $50 card. That’s close enough to the right price and there is no hassle.

Here’s the fastest way to get cash for an unwanted gift card on PlasticJungle.com.

I would add step 0: Register on the site.

Selling your gift card is easy

1. Find out what it’s worth
2. Select your offer
3. Enter your card information
4. Print two copies of your receipt
5. Send your card with the label provided

As soon as we receive the card,

• …get your cash by check OR
• …get your Amazon.com^® Gift Card* by email OR
• …get your DonorsChoose.org Charity Gift Card
  by email

The best thing is that Plastic Jungle even provides the $.61 postage for mailing your card to them.

Yep, Plastic Jungle was a lot easier than eBay. I will check them out the next time I want to purchase a card.
