What to do with store credit???

We have over $500 in Eddie Bauer store credit that we will not use. I've been trying to sell it for a lot less on craigslist for a couple of weeks with no luck. We REALLY could use the money to put towards the boys summer camps. Does anyone know of anywhere else we could sell it? Chat Icon Chat Icon

I thought there was a website where you can sell gift cards. I've seen it on LIF before. I can't remember the name.

Just wondering, how'd you get a $500 credit for EB?

there are sites that will buy them from you...but they seem to all take a fee
here is one that i heard about:
https://www.plasticjungle.com/sell-gift-cards ]

I would try ebay too...set the minimum amount youll take for it and then see what happens. if you dont get your minimum offer you dont have to sell it. I'm sure if you post it for $400 youll get someone to take it

We returned a bunch of stuff someone got for us since we didn't like any of it and kept a bunch as well.

The problem is that it's not a gift card. It's store credit that only I can use since "I" had to sign the card they gave me. They said they check ID when you use it, but if you use it online it doesn't matter who uses it? Chat Icon Chat Icon

We've bought store credits from cardpool.com so they must buy them?

I have purchased and sold gift cards on Cardpool and plastic jungle.. They both purchase store credit! Just have to check if the store is one that they accept... I received a check from each in about 10 days after mailing the cards.. They are both great!

If that's the case, you may be stuck with it. Why not buy backpacks for school, or basic stuff like tshirts or socks?

If it's usable online by anyone, I would just sell it on ebay. You will probably won't get close to $500 for it , since you will pay at least 10% in ebay fees, but since it was stuff you got for free, it's worth it.

What are you asking for it? I can see if my sister is interested, I feel like she shops there often.
