74% of the balance

Sell your Delta Air Lines gift card for cash

Sell your Delta gift card for 74% of the balance. $10 to $1,500 per card, with payment initiated within 24 hours.

A Delta gift card is a bet on a future itinerary, and itineraries move more often than balances do. The card holds its face value indefinitely, but converting that value requires a trip you want, on dates that work, at a fare you are willing to pay, flown by Delta or a partner. Every one of those conditions is a place where the plan can fall through.

Delta credit is also easy to confuse with two other things: eCredits, which come from changed or cancelled tickets, and certificates issued through loyalty or credit card programmes. Those are tied to a passenger or an account and are not transferable. A purchased gift card is a different instrument, and it is the only one of the three we can buy.

The people who sell airline credit to us are mostly not bargain hunters. They are people whose circumstances changed after the card was bought — and who would rather have a smaller amount of money that works everywhere than a larger amount that only works at 30,000 feet.

We pay 74% of the verified balance on Delta cards, with a $1,500 per-card ceiling. The lower rate reflects the genuine difficulty of reselling travel credit and the hand verification each card needs. A $250 card pays $185.

Delta gift cards do not expire and can be applied to fares booked through Delta, including on partner-operated segments in many cases. They are separate from eCredits and from SkyMiles, and none of the three converts into the others — a distinction worth confirming before you make plans around a balance.

The case for keeping a Delta card is straightforward: if you fly Delta more than once a year, it will be used at full value eventually. The case for selling is equally clear — a card bought for a specific trip that has been cancelled, a change of employer that moved your travel to another alliance, or simply a balance too small to make a meaningful dent in a fare and too large to ignore.

Delta's gift card information lives under delta.com's gift cards section, and redemption runs through the account and booking flow. Read the balance before submitting and enter the exact figure; part-redeemed travel credit is common.

Each card is verified individually before payment. If the confirmed balance is lower than entered, the offer is recalculated at the same 74% and shown to you first. Decline and nothing is charged.

Selling a Delta Air Lines gift card: common questions

74% of the balance we verify with Delta Air Lines. A $100.00 card pays $74.00 and a $250.00 card pays $185.00. 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 Delta Air Lines card is $1,500.00; 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 74% 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 Delta Air Lines 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.
