Sell your Aveda gift card for cash

Sell a Aveda gift card for 80% of whatever is left on it. We take cards from $10 to $2,000 and pay within 24 hours, with no fees.

A Aveda gift card buys an experience rather than an object, which makes it lovely to receive and easy to postpone. Postponed long enough, it stops being a plan and becomes a card in a drawer.

The offer is flat: 80% of the verified balance, every time. $50.00 on the card pays $40.00; $500.00 pays $400.00. Same rate on your first card and your tenth. Anything between $10 and $2,000 works for a single Aveda card. Partial balances are fine — most of what we buy has already had a bite taken out of it.

The margin exists because we carry the risk of resale and the cost of verifying every card by hand. You get a fixed number now instead of a hopeful number later. We confirm the balance before paying out. Service cards are often partly redeemed, so if the verified figure is lower than you entered, the offer is recalculated and shown to you first.

An unused Aveda card is not an emergency. It is just money doing nothing, and this is the fastest way to change that.

How to check your Aveda balance

Check it on Aveda's own site before you sell. You will need the full card number and the PIN — usually under a scratch-off strip on the back, or in the confirmation email for a digital card. Enter the balance here exactly as it reads.

When you get paid

Three ways out, no fees on any of them. There is no bank transfer option — we removed it deliberately.

  • PayPal Initiated within 24 hoursUsually the same afternoon once the balance is confirmed.
  • Cash App Initiated within 24 hoursSent to your $Cashtag. Same timing as PayPal.
  • Paper check 5–7 business daysPosted to you. Slower, because the mail is the mail.
  • Card data encrypted and admin-onlyThe full number and PIN are visible to the verification admin and nobody else — not other sellers, not support staff.
  • No fees, everNo listing fee, no commission, no payout fee. The number you accept is the number that arrives.
  • We buy it outrightThere is nothing to list and no buyer to wait on. Once we own the card, the resale risk is ours, not yours.

Selling a Aveda gift card: common questions

80% of the balance we verify with Aveda. A $100.00 card pays $80.00 and a $250.00 card pays $200.00. The rate is flat — it does not improve with larger balances and it does not drop for smaller ones.

$10.00. Below that the payment processing costs more than the trade is worth to either of us. The most we take on a single Aveda card is $2,000.00; if yours is larger, submit it as two cards.

PayPal and Cash App payments are initiated within 24 hours of you submitting the card, and often the same afternoon. A paper check takes 5 to 7 business days because it goes through the mail. The only thing standing between you and the money is the balance check.

We recalculate at the same 80% rate and show you the corrected offer before any money moves. If the new number does not work for you, say no and keep the card. People misremember balances constantly and it is not held against you.

Yes, and most of what we buy is partially used. A Aveda card with $37.18 left is worth the same per dollar as a full one. Enter the exact remaining balance, down to the cents, as long as it is at least $10.00.
