Sell your Hy-Vee gift card for cash

We buy unused Hy-Vee gift cards outright at 80% of the balance — $10 minimum and no maximum, paid by PayPal or Cash App within 24 hours.

Hy-Vee credit is useful right up until you move, change your route, or simply stop shopping there. Then it becomes a card you keep meaning to use and never quite do.

The reason the rate is not 100% is simple: once we buy the card, the risk is ours. We pay you before we have resold anything, and some cards come back drained or dead. That gap covers the losses, the balance checks and the payment fees. Part-used cards are normal here. Enter the real remaining balance, we confirm it, and you are paid on the confirmed figure — never on a guess in either direction.

Our Hy-Vee rate is 80%, applied to the balance we confirm with the brand. There is no tiering and no negotiation — a $200.00 card is $160.00 whoever is selling it. $10 is the minimum and there is no maximum. Enter the balance to the cent; rounding up does not help you, because we pay on what the brand confirms rather than on what you typed.

Nothing here is binding until you submit. Type the balance, look at the number, and decide.

How to check your Hy-Vee balance

Check it on Hy-Vee's own site before you sell. You will need the card number, and the pin or security code if your card has one. Both are usually on the back — the pin or security code under a scratch-off strip — or in the confirmation email for a digital card. Enter the balance here exactly as it reads.

Check your Hy-Vee balance

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-onlyWhatever the card carries — a code, or a number and a PIN — is 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 Hy-Vee gift card: common questions

80% of the balance we verify with Hy-Vee. 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. There is no upper limit on a single Hy-Vee card — large balances take the same rate and the same route as small ones.

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.

The card number, and the pin or security code if your card has one. Some Hy-Vee cards carry one and some do not, so leave it blank if yours does not — it will not hold up the check.

In cash, 80% of whatever balance is actually left on it: a $50.00 card is $40.00 and a $200.00 card is $160.00. Check the balance with Hy-Vee before you decide, because what a card is remembered as holding and what it actually holds are rarely the same number. The calculator on this page prices any balance you type.

Yes, and most of what we buy is partially used. A Hy-Vee 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.
