"  Did Santa bring you gift cards that you know you&amp;#039;ll never use? Sell them for funds you can use wherever you like at plasticjungle.com. When you go to plasticjungle.com you&amp;#039;re offered the option of mailing in your card or getting instant reimbursement. If you&amp;#039;re willing to mail in your card you have four options:  Have up to 92% of the card&amp;#039;s value put onto an Amazon gift card Have up to 92% of the card&amp;#039;s value deposited in your PayPal account Receive up to 92% of its value in the form of a cashier&amp;#039;s check Donate up to 92% of the card&amp;#039;s value to charity.  If you don&amp;#039;t want to wait to receive these new cards or check in the mail, you can receive the money through a PayPal account, an option that&amp;#039;s only available for gift cards from 50 retailers, although it does include major ones like Babies R Us, Barnes and Noble and the Gap. Note that you can sell both unused or partially used cards as long as they have a balance of at least $25. The percent of the balance that you get from selling your card is based on a couple of factors including the popularity of the brand and the season. When you go to plasticjungle.com and enter in the brand of your gift card and its value, the website will immediately show you your options and exactly how much you&amp;#039;ll get. For a Gap card with a balance of $59.91, I was offered an Amazon gift card for $52.21 or a PayPal transfer for $49.73. While plasticjungle.com doesn&amp;#039;t offer you the full value of your card, it does give you a decent amount that you can use wherever you want which I think is a whole lot better than letting a gift card sit around in a drawer unused. Right on the site&amp;#039;s home page you can also buy gift cards from a variety of merchants for up to 30% off the balance.
