Giving a gift card is supposed to solve the problem of finding a suitable gift for the hard to shop for but what happens when you receive a gift card to a place where you don’t shop or can’t find anything to buy? Instead of letting your gift cards go to waste or be whittled away to nothing due to fees imposed by certain companies over time, use Cardpool to exchange or sell unwanted gift cards.
What is it?
With so many gift cards being Cardpool is a site that allows unwanted gift cards to be exchanged or sold for cash. Buy discounted gift cards for up to 35% off or sell gift cards for cash.
