Don’t get caught by a scam site.

“Payment in 30 minutes!” ''Immediate Payment'' Get paid today''

Sounds great, right?

Scam sites make big promises but never deliver on their promise of quick payment for an unwanted gift card.

This is why we do things the way we do

Why don’t we pay straight away?

You’ll receive payment 2 weeks after someone purchases your gift card. This is our quarantine period. The buyer needs time to check the card and use it, even after a card has been spent, there’s still a risk that an order could be cancelled and the card revoked.

That’s why we can’t shorten the 2-week quarantine period. It’s an important part of protecting both buyers and sellers.

What happens after you're paid

Once you’ve been paid, the gift card is no longer yours to use but you're still responsible for its value. Please keep your gift card codes safe and never share or use them. The seller's obligations continue until the gift card has been spent in full — which can sometimes take months.

It might seem like we take things slowly, but there’s a reason: we’re building in checks to help keep every transaction safe.
