Sell your Walmart gift card for cash
Sell a Walmart gift card for 80% of whatever is left on it. Cards from $10 to $2,000, paid within 24 hours, no fees.
Walmart cards occupy an unusual middle ground. Because Walmart sells groceries, petrol, pharmacy items, tyres and televisions, a Walmart card is closer to general-purpose money than almost any other store credit. In theory it should never go unused. In practice it goes unused constantly, for a reason that has nothing to do with usefulness.
The reason is that most Walmart cards are not bought by the person holding them. They are the standard rebate fulfilment, the standard prize, the standard school-raffle and church-drive gift. Somebody who already does a weekly Walmart shop will absorb the balance without noticing. Somebody who shops elsewhere is left holding a card for a chain they drive past, and it stays in the wallet indefinitely.
There is also the awkward-remainder problem. A card gets used for one grocery run, leaves $13.40 behind, and that remainder is too small to bother planning a trip around and too large to feel disposable. Those are among the most common balances we see.
We pay 80% of the verified balance on Walmart cards, from a $10 minimum up to $2,000 on a single card. Enter the exact figure, including cents — you can read it at walmart.com/account/giftcards/balance with the card number and PIN from the back. If the verified number differs from what you entered, we recalculate at the same 80% and show you the new offer before anything is sent.
Walmart cards do not expire and carry no service fees, which is why so many of them survive years in a drawer at full value. They can be used in store, on walmart.com, and at Walmart-operated fuel stations, and the balance carries across those without needing to be split. What they cannot do is convert to cash at the register — that is the wall people hit when they try to solve the problem themselves.
If you shop at Walmart even occasionally, the sensible move is to use the card on a normal grocery run and keep your own money instead. Selling is the right call when there is no Walmart in your routine, when the card came from a rebate for something you have already dealt with, or when you have several cards adding up to an amount you would rather have available for something else entirely.
One practical note: Walmart cards and Walmart MoneyCards are different products. The gift card is closed-loop store credit, which is what we buy. The MoneyCard is a reloadable prepaid debit product that spends anywhere Visa or Mastercard is accepted, and we do not buy those — open-loop cards are too easy to drain between verification and resale.
If you would rather have $200 in your account tomorrow than $250 of Walmart credit at some unspecified future date, that is the whole trade. Type the balance into the calculator above and the exact number appears before you commit to anything.
Nothing is final until you submit. You can still back out at review.

How to check your Walmart balance
Check it on Walmart'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.

- 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.
