Card Swap with a Giveaway

More and more for the Holidays people are buying gift cards for each other.  Its getting harder and harder to shop for a lot of people and gift cards are a great solution.  They are also great for people who live far away.  Why do you want to buy someone something for $30 and then spend $20 to ship it.  Why not send them a $40 gift card and you are both up.  Not to mention how much faster it will get to them.  There is some trouble though with gift cards.  What if you buy a gift card for what you think is their favorite store and really they would never shop at.  A restaurant that your grandmother thinks you love but really its not in your town or even within 8 hours of your town. 

Well what do you do then with your gift card  when you don't want it or can't use it?  Well you can regift it to someone else or you can try and sell it on craigslist, good luck with that though as I am sure people think that's all sorts of sketchy wondering if there is even a balance on it.  I know I wouldn't buy a gift card from a stranger on craigslist even though I buy all sorts of other things on their.

Enter the solution...Cardswap.ca

If you have gift cards sitting around collecting dust that you are not going to use you can sell them to Cardswap.ca for cold hard cash.  I had a gift card for a movie theatre sitting in my wallet for over a year.  The movie theatre isn't even in my town, its over 1 1/2 hours away and I realized that I was never really going to use it.  So what I did was punch into Cardswap.ca how much it was worth and where it was for and it gave me my amount.  Once I mailed it in they verified the amount on the card and sent me my cheque.  It took less than two weeks from the time I mailed it to the time I could cash my cheque.  Love it and will do it again :)
