CardSwap For The Holidays (and After The Holidays…)

Picture it, you’re at an office gift-exchange, or even Christmas morning with your in laws.  You open a gift, certain that your secret Santa or mother in law will at least have some idea of what you like so you’re not left with a weird perfume set or holiday snow globe you’ll never use.  It’s a small box, hmmmmm!

You open it, and it’s a gift card! Fabulous, you think, at least they know you love to shop and this way you can get something you really want.  Until you look at the card and either: 1) Have no idea what the store is, 2) Know  immediately you won’t find anything you could use there or 3) Love the store’s competitor more and would likely never go there anyway.

It happens. Sometimes people with the best of intentions (even your mother in law) end up getting you a gift card that’s useless.

But is it?

Until CardSwap came along, that gift card might have sat in your wallet for years, or been regifted to someone else who could either use it or carry the burden.  Now, there’s a way for people to swap out their gift cards (even partially used ones!) for cash or SwapPoints to put towards other – better – cards!

Ready to sell an wanted gift card?  Go to www.cardwap.ca and get started by clicking on SELL at the top menu bar.

Amazing right?  When you submit your card info, you’ll receive an offer to purchase.  Like any selling situation, you won’t receive the face card value of the card (because CardSwap is a business too!) but some offers are up to 92% of the card’s value!  When you think about it, getting something for a useless card in your wallet is certainly better than nothing, but that something can turn into something awesome when you receive cash for your card or CardSwap points to put towards other card.

buy_instructionsYou can BUY gift cards at CardSwap too, and earn points to use towards even more gift cards as well (which, your local grocery store or business selling their own gift cards doesn’t do!)  I LOVE THIS.  If you’re shopping for the holidays, stay warm and cozy indoors and shop CardSwap’s huge selection of gift cards from the comfort of your own home.  The cards are then mailed – for free – right to your door. AND, you earn SwapPoints that can be used for more gift cards later.

swappoints_bannerCardSwap has shared an awesome incentive with Feisty Frugal & Fabulous readers to invite you to register as a CardSwapper today.  When you register, CardSwap will add 500 SwapPoints to your account – that’s like a $5 gift right there because 1000 points is equal to a $10 gift card!  Hooray!
