Sell your Banana Republic gift card for cash

Sell your Banana Republic gift card for 80% of the balance. $10 to $2,000 per card, paid within 24 hours with no fees.

Banana Republic cards work across Gap Inc. — Gap, Old Navy, Athleta and the factory stores as well as BR itself. That is the first thing to check, because the group spans enough price points that a card which feels mismatched to one brand often suits another perfectly well.

Banana Republic's own problem is that it sells workwear, and how people dress for work changed. Credit bought for suiting and office separates has been sitting in a lot of wallets since working patterns shifted, waiting for occasions that come round far less often than they used to.

These cards are also a common corporate gift, which is a slightly ironic route to the same outcome: professional clothing credit given by an employer to people who now dress far more casually. If the wardrobe need is not there, the balance has nothing to attach to.

We pay 80% of the verified balance, flat, on cards from $10 to $2,000. A $250 card pays $200 whether it was a gift, a rebate or a return credit.

Banana Republic cards work across Gap Inc. and do not expire. Since much of the group sits at lower price points, a BR card often goes further at Gap or Old Navy than at Banana Republic itself — a useful conversion if you need practical clothing rather than workwear.

The reason to sell is usually a change in how you dress. Cards bought for office wardrobes have been sitting since working patterns shifted, and the recipient has no occasion to justify a purchase at that price point. Rather than buying a blazer you will not wear, converting the card is the honest answer.

Banana Republic Factory is worth mentioning separately. It is a lower-priced format under the same group, it takes the same gift cards, and it stocks the kind of everyday clothing that a workwear card cannot otherwise buy. For anyone holding a BR card without an office to dress for, the factory stores are the most realistic route to spending it on something you will actually wear.

Balances are read at bananarepublic.gap.com/my-account/gift-cards-balance using the card number and PIN, and the same checker handles cards from any of the sibling brands.

We verify with the brand before paying. If the confirmed figure is lower than what you entered, the offer is recalculated at the same rate and shown to you before anything is sent.

Selling a Banana Republic gift card: common questions

80% of the balance we verify with Banana Republic. 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 Banana Republic 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 Banana Republic 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.
