We’re not buying Xbox gift cards

Xbox is one of the few things we turn down. Here is the actual reason.

The reason

Digital wallet codes carry far too much fraud volume for us to take the risk.

It is worth saying that this is not a judgement about the card being worthless to you. A Xbox balance is still worth its full face value wherever it is accepted. The problem is specific to buying and reselling it, and that is a problem on our side rather than yours.

If you are holding one and want the value, the most reliable route is to spend it yourself, or to give it to somebody who will. If you would rather sell a different card, the brands below all pay up to 80% of the balance within 24 hours.

That may change. Brands move on and off this list as their systems change, so if you want to know when Xbox reopens, leave your email and we will tell you rather than making you check back.
