Sell your Cold Stone Creamery gift card for cash

Sell a Cold Stone Creamery gift card for 80% of whatever is left on it. We take cards from $10 to $500 and pay within 24 hours, with no fees.

A Cold Stone Creamery gift card is a plan for a meal you have not made yet. When that plan does not happen — a schedule changes, the nearest location closes, tastes move on — the balance just sits there.

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 $500 works for a single Cold Stone Creamery 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 check the balance with Cold Stone Creamery before any money moves. Dining cards are often part-spent, so if the confirmed figure is lower than what you typed, you see the revised offer first and can say no.

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

Selling a Cold Stone Creamery gift card: common questions

80% of the balance we verify with Cold Stone Creamery. 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 Cold Stone Creamery card is $500.00; 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 Cold Stone Creamery 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.
