Sell your Whole Foods Market gift card for cash

We buy Whole Foods Market gift cards at 80% of the balance — $10 to $2,000 per card, paid within 24 hours.

Whole Foods cards are a thoughtful gift that frequently lands badly, for a simple reason: Whole Foods is a premium grocer with an uneven footprint. If there is a store on your route, a card is as good as cash. If there is not, it is credit for a shop you would have to make a special trip to reach, to buy groceries you could buy closer to home.

The Amazon relationship adds some confusion that also keeps balances sitting. Whole Foods is owned by Amazon, and Prime benefits apply in store, but a Whole Foods gift card and an Amazon gift card are separate instruments and are not interchangeable. People sometimes hold one assuming it will work as the other, discover it does not, and put it away.

Grocery credit in general has the slow-drift problem. It gets used for one shop, leaves an odd remainder, and because groceries are a recurring expense there is never any urgency about the rest. A card with $18 left survives indefinitely on the assumption that it will get used next time.

We pay 80% of the verified balance, flat, from a $10 minimum to $2,000 per card. Partial balances are completely normal in this category and are priced the same per dollar as full ones.

Whole Foods gift cards do not expire and work at any US Whole Foods location. They are separate from Amazon gift cards and from Prime benefits, and none of the three converts into the others — a point that catches out a lot of people who assume the Amazon relationship makes everything interchangeable.

If a store is on your route, use it: groceries are a guaranteed expense and the card is worth full value against them. Sell when the nearest store is a special trip. Making a dedicated journey to a premium grocer to spend down a card, buying things you would otherwise buy cheaper nearby, quietly costs you more than the 20% you would give up by selling it outright.

Check the balance before submitting using the card number and PIN on Whole Foods' own gift card page, and enter the exact figure including cents. Grocery cards are the ones most likely to hold an amount you do not expect.

We confirm the balance with the brand before paying. If it reads lower than what you entered, you get a corrected offer at the same rate and a choice about whether to continue. Nothing is charged if you decline.

Selling a Whole Foods Market gift card: common questions

80% of the balance we verify with Whole Foods Market. 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 Whole Foods Market 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 Whole Foods Market 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.
