Sell your GameStop gift card for cash

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

GameStop is a brand where two different kinds of plastic get confused, and the difference matters. A GameStop gift card is ordinary store credit. A trade credit card is what you get when you trade in games or hardware, and while it spends similarly in store, it is issued differently. Check which one you are holding before assuming anything about it.

Genuine GameStop gift cards go unspent mainly because the way people buy games has changed. Most new titles are bought as digital downloads directly from a console storefront, and a physical-retailer gift card cannot be applied to those purchases. Credit for a shop you no longer need to visit is credit that waits.

There is also the collectibles drift. A large share of GameStop's floor space is now merchandise rather than software, so a card given for gaming ends up being spent — if at all — on a figurine. People who wanted a game and got store credit often simply stop engaging with it.

Our rate is 80% of the verified balance, flat, on cards from $10 up to $2,000. A $100 card pays $80. Part-used cards are welcome and priced identically per dollar to untouched ones.

GameStop gift cards do not expire and can be used in store, online, and towards pre-orders and trade-in top-ups. What they cannot do is buy digital currency or downloadable content directly on a console storefront — you can buy a digital code card in store with them, which is the workaround most people eventually discover.

If you buy physical games, hardware or accessories, the card is worth full value. Sell when your buying has gone fully digital, when the nearest store has closed — a great many have — or when the card is trade credit you accumulated years ago and have no interest in spending on collectibles.

GameStop's gift card pages carry the balance inquiry tool, and you will need the card number and the PIN from the back — for a digital certificate, both are in the delivery email. GameStop's site challenges automated traffic, so check it in a browser.

We verify before paying. A lower confirmed balance means a corrected offer at the same rate shown to you first, and a card that reads zero is rejected with an explanation, kept by you, and charged for at nothing.

How to check your GameStop balance

Check it on GameStop'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.

When you get paid

Three ways out, no fees on any of them. There is no bank transfer option — we removed it deliberately.

  • PayPal Initiated within 24 hoursUsually the same afternoon once the balance is confirmed.
  • Cash App Initiated within 24 hoursSent to your $Cashtag. Same timing as PayPal.
  • Paper check 5–7 business daysPosted to you. Slower, because the mail is the mail.
  • 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.
  • No fees, everNo listing fee, no commission, no payout fee. The number you accept is the number that arrives.
  • We buy it outrightThere is nothing to list and no buyer to wait on. Once we own the card, the resale risk is ours, not yours.

Selling a GameStop gift card: common questions

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