They stole my E GC!
December 7, 2020

I put in my info for mt Electronic GC and was told i needed to send in a physical GC. I DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL CARD! Within 24 hours CardCash zeroed my E card and never paid me. The site says pending,, Awaiting card. THERE IS NO PHYSICAL CARD! I am a disabled military veteran on a fixed income. This was supposed to feed my service dog! So now he gets my one meal a day. Left 5 emails in 72 hours, no response. Their 1800 number never picks up and gives 9-5 but no time zone.

Because it's a Whole Foods card, cannot transfer online, so I had to mail it in; however, the process was very quick to receive payment (I selected the payment to be the sale amount on an Amazon Gift Card). The only delay with the process was mailing the Whole Foods card to them.

I've used CC only twice, and this will certainly be the last time I buy with them. Both times I have found the cards to contain insufficient funds which I am not responsible for. The first card I didn't even use and it already had a $0 balance. The latter I used once, forgot about it, and saw it had less than a dollar left. Although I can't say I'm surprised with how the business operates. They sell PREVIOUSLY OWNED cards. What's stopping the original owner from recording the card number before selling, and still using said card after the transaction is completed? Easily dupable system. Will never resort to CC again, and will much rather use Swagbucks since they at least reward users with fresh cards despite the effort it takes to earn one...

Fast and easy!
November 25, 2020

Sent in a $15 Apple gift card and it only took a few days for it to get all the way across the country, processed, and paid! It was super easy and now my son has cash instead of a gift card he can't use. Will definitely use again in the future.

I sold one e-giftcard on CardCash and was paid appropriately within about a week. In fact, they have some of the best rates for sellers among similar sites. However, I have not been able to sell any additional gift cards because I can't pass CardCash's phone verification system. I am given a list of phone numbers to choose from, but none of them are mine. I appreciate their enhanced security, but there is no way for me to get around this and continue using the service.

Awful website. A lot of these reviews are completely fake. Don't trust them. I came on the site to sell my $25 iTunes gift card. They offered my $16.50 for it which is already a low ball. I decided to sell them it anyways. They then charged me $1.00 from my bank card for a "verification fee". After charging me, they told me they could not accept my gift card because it is a digital code rather than a physical card. I will be taking legal action.

Great way to convert unwanted cards into something you can use. Only draw back is that you have to mail them the physical card(s). Process takes too long.

Similar experience to many folks on here, had a large Remaining balance of my Stolen/used after my first use of card, I used ~$100 of a $600 card, balance was immediately used\transferred after my first purchase, which I discovered when I tried to use the remaining balance. Company did not assist or provide any resolution. I find it odd that so many people have the same experience, doesn't seem coincidental, stay away from this company.
