Sell your Crate & Barrel gift card for cash

Sell an unused Crate & Barrel gift card for 80% of the balance. $10 to $2,000 per card, paid within 24 hours.

Crate & Barrel is a registry brand above almost anything else, and registry credit has a distinctive lifecycle. It arrives in a cluster around a wedding, gets spent in a burst on the things that were actually on the list, and then leaves a remainder that has no successor purchase attached to it. That remainder is what people are usually holding when they come to sell.

The other factor is durability. Crate & Barrel sells furniture, tableware and kitchen equipment that is meant to last, so the natural repurchase interval is measured in years. Credit for a category you have already fully bought into is credit with nowhere to go.

CB2 is the group's more contemporary sibling, and it is worth checking whether a card works across both before writing it off — a card that seems mismatched to your taste at one may suit the other.

We pay 80% of the verified balance, flat, on cards from $10 up to $2,000. Partial balances are common with registry cards and are priced identically per dollar to untouched ones.

Crate & Barrel cards do not expire and are accepted at Crate & Barrel, CB2 and Crate & Kids, in store and online. The three brands span quite different aesthetics, so a card that feels wrong for one frequently suits another — worth checking before deciding it is stranded.

The registry remainder is the classic case for selling. A couple finishes the list, is left with a few hundred dollars of credit and a fully equipped kitchen, and the balance then sits through several years of not needing anything. That is money doing nothing, and 80% of it available now is worth more than 100% of it never spent.

Crate & Barrel operates its own registry as well, and registry completion discounts are time-limited in a way gift cards are not. If you are within a completion window, spending the card then is worth more than spending it later — and if that window closed years ago, the card has been waiting a long time for nothing in particular.

Check the balance on Crate & Barrel's own gift card page using the card number and PIN before you submit, and enter the figure to the cent rather than the amount the card was loaded with.

We verify before paying. If the confirmed balance is lower, the corrected offer is shown to you at the same 80% rate before anything moves, and declining leaves the card with you at no cost.

Selling a Crate & Barrel gift card: common questions

80% of the balance we verify with Crate & Barrel. 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 Crate & Barrel 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 Crate & Barrel 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.
