Gift Cards Buy, Sell, Exchange or Donate

I receive gift cards on special occasions.  Problem is sometimes these cards are to stores I will never go to or these are not in my area..   These websites will help you to get rid of those cards and get something a little more useful, money.  Please remember you will not be able to sell the cards for the full value, but it may be worth the time
