Gift Card Rescue and Giveaway

I don't know about you but the thought of shopping for gifts makes my brain hurt.  I would say my head hurt but I can actually hear my brain crying.  I am all about a bargain so I usually choose to go for buying a gift and skipping a gift card.  I know that everyone likes gift cards more than gifts but I don't have a lot of money to spend so I usually opt for the gift.



Luckily, I've found GiftCardRescue.com where you can buy discounted gift cards.  Yes, you read that correctly.  You can also get cash for gift cards and participate in a gift card exchange.

"About GiftCardRescue.com

Based in Ellicott City, MD, GiftCardRescue.com’s mission is to make it easier for people to unlock the value in their unwanted gift cards. The company buys gift cards from those who don’t want them and sells them to those who would use them.
Consumers can get up to 90% cash back for their unwanted gift cards and save from 4% up to 30% on discounted gift cards to over 350 national merchants. GiftCardRescue.com guarantees all transactions and is backed by the best customer support team in the industry.
Founded in January 2008, GiftCardRescue.com, with no outside capital, is now the fastest growing gift card exchange site."
I know a lot of you are strapped for cash right now, just like me and so many others.  So, say you get a $100 Gift Card for your birthday but what you really need is some cash to take your child to the doctor or dentist.   You could head over to GiftCardRescue.com and sell that Gift Card for up to 90% of it's value.  I visited the site just now and for that $100 Gift Card to a popular retailer and I was offered $89.  That would pay for a lot of necessities!   Don't get me wrong, I'm all about buying discounted gift cards too so I can save money but if I need cash I'm so using this service!  

Shopping the available gift cards I see that I can save 15% off a $50 Gift Card to a popular children's clothing shop that I will be visiting next week.  So why wouldn't I buy the gift card if I am going to spend money there already.  I could save 15% right off the top and then use other coupons and deals.  

Check out GiftCardRescue.com and see if there are gift cards to what retailers your frequent!  If you are going to spend your money there you might as well save some money before you even start to shop.

love this giveaway

Unknown said...

Wow sounds pretty cool! I am going to have to check them out!

Anonymous said...

I didn't know about this, but it's a good idea. Sometimes I do get gift cards I'll never use.

Gail Williams said...

This is definitely a great idea and a way for many people to benefit. I would like to try doing this someday soon, maybe after school starts.

Michele P. said...

thanks for letting me know about the site, sometimes I get a gift card to a place where I really don't care to shop, or I need the cash instead. also, I like to save money, so if I can get a bargain discounted gift card too, that is always a help in stretching my shopping dollars

Unknown said...

Great program to use unwanted cards. Thanks

Marcia Lee said...

I just recently purchased 2 gift cards at a discount...my first time on the site. I thank you for the reminder. I think I'll go over there & see if I can get a card or two for a restaurant we like to go to & to a department store I shop at.

Anne Marie Carter said...

I love the fact that there is a site where gift cards (that you know will be used) can be purchased at a lesser cost. I am going to have to go to this site again.

Miss Sarah said...

I love the idea of being able to purchase discounted gift cards. It's a great idea since sometimes you get give gift cards you'll never use, so why not get cash for them instead and let someone who DOES want that particular card purchase it for a discount!

Thanks for the review and giveaway!

Unknown said...

I thought I understood exactly how GiftCardRescue worked but I was wrong..What I didn't see was if there is a limited amount of value on either end.

Joseph Hawkshaw said...

This is so awesome good luck to everyone thanks for the giveaway. joehawkshaw@yahoo.com

sdavis said...

this is a great idea...buying gc at a discount.....doesnt get much better than that

feathermaye said...

I really like the concept that GiftCardRescue has come up with. We often get Starbuck's gift cards from friends that we never use, and sometimes we end up re-gifting them and other times they just sit and collect dust. I love the idea of being able to exchange or even sell what we can't/don't use. Thanks for sharing this information!

Sandy said...

I've been looking for something like this and need to save whatever dollars I can, so this sounds great thanks!

lisagee1234 said...

Wel it's a legitimate way to sell other than asking neighbors or friends to buy a gift card that you need cash for instead.

Unknown said...

This is great information to have. Your right most people do want gift cards as gifts - that way they can get what they want. Now that I know about GiftCardRescue this will make shopping for the special events and holidays a lot easier and more economical. Thanks.

mf420 said...

I think that it is a great idea too. I never knew this kind of thing existed.

Unknown said...

it would be a blessing to win. Also, help the whole family.
God bless u all.

ELF said...

Interesting concept. I tend to try to spend my gift card pretty quickly but this is definitely something to keep in mind. Thanks for the giveaway.

Ruth said...

This is an awesome company. I like the idea of turning in gift cards I won't use.

Unknown said...

This is such a great idea for those unwanted gift cards I always get as presents!

FrangiePani said...

It's great saving money on gift cards.

Unknown said...

For once I actually have a large gift card I will not use, and they quoted me a great price! I will for sure sell it!

Anonymous said...

I have not ever had a gift card that I did not use or gift but I do think this is a unique, un-expected awesome company to help folks with unwanted gift cards. Really an unexpected site.

Gina said...

I love that you can get up 90% back on a gift card you dont want or wont be able to use.

Michelle said...

This is great!

Linda Kish said...

It seems like a good idea for those that need the money in hand.

Unknown said...

I have used them before. They are great!!! I love gift cards!

Niclan80 said...

I love the idea that you can sell your unwanted gift cards on GiftCardRescue.com as well as buy discounted gift cards on one site. I might use the buy discounted gift cards option when I need something for birthdays and Christmas.

Unknown said...

Thank you for this great review, Gift Card Rescue definitely sounds like something I would be interested in.

rebeccabasset said...

I have a bunch of Gift Cards that I am not using, sounds like an excellent Idea to sell them for Cash. And their deals on Pet Store's are great.

Thanks so much for the review!

Anonymous said...

Gift cards are one o my favorite gifts....I get to choose what I really need. I think it is a thoughtful gift.

Unknown said...

I had no idea about this website..thank you for the information

Unknown said...

I love the idea of being able to get rid of gcs you don't want and pick up ones that you do want on the cheap.

fallenangel said...

this is brilliant! wish it was around several years back - a friend of mine gave me a gift card for a restaurant that had no locations closer than 60 miles away. it ended up expiring before i could use it. that'll never happen again!

Live Laugh Love said...

I absolutely LOVE gift cards, and this is my 1st time hearing about GiftCardRescue I am really excited to win (:

Katrina Angele said...

So great to know I have an outlet to trade in cards for cash!!

Unknown said...

Love this idea!

Rock Paper Stitch said...

I've never heard of this company before. This could be very useful when shopping for gifts.

carolann88fan said...

What a great idea thanks for the intro. I always wondered what to do with the gc I get that I won't use now I can just use them towards another card.

clc408 said...

I like that you can exchange gift cards or get cash for unwanted ones.

Unknown said...

WOW! I never knew anything like that existed!

jbafaith said...

Thank you so much for this opportunity. I think most of us have a difficult time right now just trying to make ends meet, let alone buying for school or holidays and forget vacations!

dfraley3 said...

I love this concept. I've had gift cards expire before I could use them --

Unknown said...

I believe this is a wonderful service. I also buy and receive Gift Cards regularly and it would be extremely helpful to make choice surrounding their usage to fit my needs. See you soon.

Colleen said...

I LOVE that you can turn in gift cards for cash!! I also love that you can get discounted cards. what a great system.

Bunniker said...

I like the $89 (cash) for a $100 gift card. I am a student and, I could definitely use money more than gift cards (at least to anyone who doesn't sell necessities).

Lisa Ehrman said...

Thanks for the review! I had never heard of GC Rescue before today!

Unknown said...

I think Gift Card Rescue is a great idea! Actually, I just won a $100 JC Penney gc and don't really need it --- I will be visiting giftcardrescue.com to see what I can do.

Unknown said...

wow what a great idea

Anonymous said...

Love that you can trade in old gift cards that you have lying around the house and wont use!

Anonymous said...

I love this service! As a family that moves frequently due to my husband's career, I often find we have unused gift cards due to the fact our new location doesn't have a fill-in-the-blank (restaurant/store/etc). It's happened many times before, would have been nice to just cash those in for some of the value instead of tossing it or hoping to mail it to someone who maybe would put it to use.

Unknown said...

Strapped for cash? You have no idea :(
Great service...wish I had a card or two to sell right now. Thank you for the review

benz1171 said...

I have gift cards that I will not use. I like this service.

Unknown said...

This is a wonderful idea! This way the gift cards you don't want or need don't get wasted.

good to know, now if i could just convince people to stop giving me gift cards to local restaurants...

Becca Wilson said...

I love that it is a one stop shop for everything give cards because heaven knows we all give them but then again we get ones that we will ever use!

mdbhayes said...

Love the idea, we all get gift cards to places that we might not use and to be able to bet something for them is great.

InTheKnowWithJoJo said...

Thank you so much for this I have beed fighting with ebay rules and making 1 - 2 bucks for every 5 dollars in gcs this will help

This giftcard rescue idea is a great one. It help you with an urgent issue in which you need cash.

Great review! I would love to be able to try this out but unfortunetly I don’t have a credit card to be able to purchase online and I wish I did because I’m missing out on such great opportunities.

Unknown said...

I used them to purchase gift cards for a school raffle ticket fundraiser. I liked working with them.

Susan P. said...

I always end yup with gift cards to places far away or I don't shop at, so this would be a good way to redeem them.

Cassie Eastman said...

I've ever heard of this site until now, that's so neat that they will give you money for a gift card because we get so many so we'd much rather just have money to buy groceries with!

Kathleen said...

I haven't heard of this service before. It seems like a GREAT idea for the shopper, and not so good for the person cashing a GC in. I guess we all get in those situations now and then and probably would be happy to get the needed cash.
Thanks for the post and info about GC Rescue.

Unknown said...

Awesome Giveaway, this is the greatest idea. Especially for people like me that's in that situation every day. I'm always strapped for cash !!!

Anissa said...

Hmm 90% isn't as high as I might like but you have to admit it's easy to use.

Raina said...

Thanks for the great review. This is a great idea!

susan1215 said...

This is a great way to sell gift cards you won't use and buy gift cards at a discount.

Karen said...

I like the fact that if there is a gift card you received and you don't like where it's from or don't shop there that giftcardrescue will pay you up to 90% for that gift card...way better then not being able to use it at all... thanks for this great giveaway.. :)

This is a great way to save when shopping online at your favorite retailers - it's not just for "gifting"!

My Three Sons and a Baby! said...

I have never ordered a gift card from them but going to get my mom one this year for Christmas.

Unknown said...

I think this is great I have 5 children at home and it is hard to save money on their necessities so buying gift cards cheaper for stuff I would normally buy for full price with cash is a great way to save money.

Karen said...

I wish I had thought of this! such a great idea. We have several gc's for a famous outdoor sporting goods/fishing retailer; no one in my house likes to fish or outdoor sports!

Unknown said...

Being on social security and getting paid on e a month this option is a great one so that at the end of the month when I have no money I can use a GC and what a great help

brich2222 said...

I love them because it saves the buyer money and you get rid of a card you do not want

I keep forgetting about this site. I have some GCs that I'd rather sell than try to use. Thanks for the reminder (and the contest.)

Michelle Spayde said...

I think that this is a great way to save some additional money. Even if you do wish to buy someone an actual gift, purchasing a discounted gift card would definitely help out the budget.
