80% of the balance

Sell your Chewy gift card for cash

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

Chewy is online-only and subscription-led, which changes how its gift cards behave. Once a card is redeemed it becomes an account balance that applies to future orders, and it cannot be moved back out. If you are not going to order from Chewy, the sellable moment is before redemption, not after.

The subscription model also produces a specific stranding pattern. Autoship customers have a card on file and orders that run themselves; a gift card balance sits alongside that and gets consumed slowly and invisibly, or not at all if the account was set up before the card arrived.

Chewy cards are a very common new-pet and condolence gift — the company is well known for both — which means a meaningful share of them are held by people whose circumstances have changed since the card was given.

We pay 80% of the verified balance, flat, on cards from $10 up to $2,000. A $250 card pays $200, and part-used balances are priced identically per dollar.

Chewy gift cards do not expire, and once redeemed the balance applies automatically to future orders including Autoship deliveries and the pharmacy. The pharmacy route is worth knowing: prescription pet medication is a recurring cost that a gift card can genuinely offset, which is not true of most human pharmacy credit.

Sell before redeeming if you are not going to order. An unredeemed card is transferable; an applied balance belongs to the account permanently. That matters most for the condolence and sympathy cards Chewy is known for, which frequently arrive after a pet has died and have no remaining use for the household that received them.

Chewy's returns and customer service policies are unusually generous, and the company is well known for refunding orders and telling customers to keep or donate the goods. That reputation is a real argument for spending credit there if you have a pet. It is not an argument for holding a card indefinitely if you do not — a balance sitting on an account you never log into is not benefiting from any of it.

Chewy handles gift cards through the account area at chewy.com/app/account/giftcard rather than a public checker. If the card is unredeemed, take the number and PIN from the card or the delivery email and enter that amount.

We verify before paying. If the confirmed balance differs from what you entered, the corrected offer is shown to you at the same 80% rate before anything is sent, and nothing is charged if you decline.

Check it on Chewy'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.

  • 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.

Selling a Chewy gift card: common questions

80% of the balance we verify with Chewy. 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 Chewy 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 Chewy 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.
