Sell your Big 5 Sporting Goods gift card for cash

Sell a Big 5 Sporting Goods 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.

Most Big 5 Sporting Goods cards are bought by somebody else. Gift cards are what you give when you know the shop but not the size, the colour, or the model, and that guesswork is exactly why the balance often goes unspent.

You get 80% of the balance in cash. That is $20.00 on a $25.00 card and $400.00 on a $500.00 one, and the number you are shown before you commit is the number that arrives. We buy Big 5 Sporting Goods cards from $10 up to $2,000 on a single card. If yours is above that ceiling, split it across two submissions rather than trying to force one through.

We are buying, not brokering. There is no listing, no buyer to wait for and no chance of a chargeback three weeks later — we take the card off your hands and absorb whatever happens next. That is what the discount pays for. Enter the balance, we confirm it against Big 5 Sporting Goods's own records, and the money goes out. If the confirmed balance is lower than you entered, you see the corrected offer before anything moves and you can walk away with the card still yours.

The card keeps its full value until you do something with it — and it keeps doing nothing until then too.

How to check your Big 5 Sporting Goods balance

Big 5 Sporting Goods does not have a stable public balance-check page we can link straight to, so the reliable route is to search for it and use the result on Big 5 Sporting Goods's own domain. You will need the card number and the PIN from the back of the card. Never enter those on a third-party site.

Selling a Big 5 Sporting Goods gift card: common questions

80% of the balance we verify with Big 5 Sporting Goods. 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 Big 5 Sporting Goods 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 Big 5 Sporting Goods 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.
