Our Verdict

• Selling Sears gift cards are profitable (current rates are up to 84%/86%). They are also having a big Cyber Monday deal (use promo code CYBER, won’t work on gift cards). Shopping portals are also offering up to 9.3% cash back.
• Five Guys is basically just a nice discount
• Olive Garden resale rate on physical cards is currently at 72%, so not profitable.
• Fedex is another nice discount, especially if you have reselling shipping to be done (update excludes shipping so there goes that idea)
• The Container store best resale rate is currently 73% so not profitable either
