Our Verdict
Cardcash earns 5x with Chase Ink cards but only when you use Paypal to checkout. As far as I know no portals offer anything back on Cardcash purchases. As always, second-hand exchanges are tough to deal with, and many people have had experiences with Cardcash gift cards coming back as depleted which then requires follow-up.

I have had awful luck with cardcash. About 90% of the cards I ordered came with zero balance. I did always get my money back, but it's a hassle and not worth the stress.
OTOH, I have noticed that the zero balance tends to occur on physical cards and not that much with the egift card.
I'd be particularly leery of retail merchants, as opposed to things like restaurants. I bought a clothing store gift card from them last year and it was really a "merchandise credit." Sure enough, the store identified it as the return of stolen merchandise and voided by gift card. It was slightly beyond 45 days before I realized it, but Card Cash refunded my money. Good thing they did, or I would never buy from them again. But I certainly did learn a lesson from this.
45 days is crazy short for buyer protection. I'll stick to Raise for all second-hand GC purchases.
Says the promo code is no longer available. Strange?
They also raise prices on brands in advance of sales
yeah before last sale target was consistently ~4% off, during promo 1% off "+ 5%"
Looks like they removed some companies from the promo. Best buy was availabe before this went live. Not sure if that was intentional.
Yeah, looks like they take away a few top sellers before these sales.
