How to protect yourself
If you are the lucky recipient of a gift card and don’t have time or need to use it, you can easily resell it. Just make sure you use legit platforms such as Cardpool.com and Raise.com which have information regarding customer-service contacts.
In addition, avoid social media posts regarding gift card purchases or people who say they’ll pay you 100% of what the card is worth. Real buyers usually offer around 80% of the card’s value, so there’s no need to get greedy!
