The Offer
- CardCash is offering a $5 bonus Amazon gift card when you trade in another gift card of $100+ for Amazon gift cards
The Fine Print
- The Amazon promotional $5 gift card is available only for customers who have never placed a trade for Amazon order on any CardCash platform.
Our Verdict
Depends on the rate they offer for the $100 card I guess, make sure to use something like giftcardwiki to compare cash rates.
Hat tip to GC Galore
Says I’d get $80.73 for a $100 Target GC. I don’t think so..not even with the $5 extra which is only PROMO cash anyway and expires.
Thanks, I had a gift card I wanted to sell via cardcash anyway. Let’s see how this goes. Interesting that this offers does not go through the cardcash main site. Is amazon controlling the data, I wonder ?
Got my promo card just now. A regular $5 amazon gift card it was. Thanks!
Quick question if I may – did the $5 bonus amazon card come in a separate email at a later date?
Thanks!
Yep, came in the day after the “main” payment was processed.
Did you receive some sort of email confirmation after trading your GC? I only received a text message with a verification code and pending 1.00 charge on my CC. Still havent received my Amazon GC or bonus and I traded my GC on 7/12.
No separate emails about the promo. Took them about two days to process my sold giftcard, as usual. Then a separate $5 amazon GC came in a separate mail a day after the “main” GC. Just be patient. Read T&C too.
Would be nice to redeem if Cardcash (and Cardpool) hadn’t stopped buying my gift cards due “high risk” of fraud. I’ve only been able to sell two cards each on both Cardcash and Cardpool before they start flagging me for misuse or something.
The cards I sell are either airline gift cards I get from AMEX or travel gift cards from a Google Fi promotion.
For gift card exchanges, travel brands are particularly risky as if the cards were fraudulently obtained (say bought with a stolen credit card), the person redeeming the cards could be left stranded mid-trip when the airline connects the dots and cancels the remainder of the itinerary.
Some airlines are particularly vindictive and won’t tell you if there is anything wrong until you get to the airport and try to check-in.
That makes sense. That would suck if that was me on the opposite end of that transaction so I can see why they would consider it high risk.
