74% of the balance

Sell your United Airlines gift card for cash

We buy unused United Airlines gift cards outright at 74% of the balance — $10 to $1,500 per card, paid by PayPal or Cash App within 24 hours.

A United Airlines card is a bet on a future itinerary. Plans move, prices move, and the balance is stuck waiting for a version of your calendar that may not arrive.

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. We verify with United Airlines directly before paying. Travel credit sometimes carries conditions the balance alone does not show, which is exactly why a person checks each one rather than a script.

Our United Airlines rate is 74%, applied to the balance we confirm with the brand. There is no tiering and no negotiation — a $200.00 card is $148.00 whoever is selling it. $10 is the minimum and $1,500 is the per-card maximum. Enter the balance to the cent; rounding up does not help you, because we pay on what the brand confirms.

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

How to check your United Airlines balance

United Airlines does not have a stable public balance-check page we can link straight to, so the reliable route is to search for it and use the result on United Airlines's own domain. You will need the card number and the PIN from the back of the card. Never enter those on a third-party site.

  • 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 United Airlines gift card: common questions

74% of the balance we verify with United Airlines. 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 United Airlines 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 United Airlines 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.
