Sell your Bloomingdale's gift card for cash

We buy Bloomingdale's gift cards at 80% of the balance, $10 to $2,000 per card, paid by PayPal or Cash App within 24 hours.

Bloomingdale's credit is aspirational money, and aspirational money is the slowest kind to spend. A card for a premium department store is held for an occasion, and occasions get postponed. Meanwhile the balance holds its value perfectly and does absolutely nothing.

Geography matters more here than for almost any brand on this list. Bloomingdale's has a limited store footprint compared with the chains it sits alongside, so a great many people who receive a card do not live near one. Online shopping covers some of that, but a card for a store you cannot walk into loses much of its point, particularly for clothing where trying things on is half the value.

These cards also arrive through registries and as high-end corporate gifting, which concentrates them among people who received rather than chose them. The result is a lot of untouched Bloomingdale's balances held by people who would straightforwardly prefer the cash.

Our rate is 80% of the verified balance with no tiering. $100 pays $80; $500 pays $400. Single cards from $10 up to $2,000, and part-spent cards priced identically per dollar to full ones.

Bloomingdale's cards work in store, online, and at Bloomingdale's outlet locations, and they do not expire. Because the parent group also runs Macy's, people sometimes assume the cards are interchangeable between the two — they are not, and that assumption is worth checking before you plan a purchase around it.

The deciding question is proximity. If you can get to a store, the range and the service justify spending the balance. If you cannot, you are looking at buying premium clothing online without trying it on, which most people quietly decline to do — and a card that will never be spent is worth less to you than 80% of it in your account this week.

The outlet format is worth a look before you decide. Bloomingdale's outlets carry the same gift cards, sit in more accessible locations than the flagship stores, and price at a level where a modest card buys a whole item rather than a contribution towards one.

Check the balance at bloomingdales.com/account/giftcardbalance using the card number from the back — you may need to remove the tab covering the last few digits. Enter what it reads, to the cent.

We verify before paying. If the confirmed figure is lower than what you entered, the offer is recalculated at 80% of the real balance and shown to you first. Say no and the card remains yours with nothing charged.

Selling a Bloomingdale's gift card: common questions

80% of the balance we verify with Bloomingdale's. 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 Bloomingdale's 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 Bloomingdale's 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.
