i went through all the places i do surveys through to see if there were any outstanding surveys i could do because im really trying to pull in the money or points etc right now since money is tight.. well.. i have noticed some are only paying in gift cards now.. im not talking about like mypoints because they always have but other places and so between 2 places i have 100 dollars i cant touch unless i wanna get amazon gift cards or other gift cards!! and of course i trade in amazon gift cards to regular money so this wont help me money wise at all..
i dont guess there is any way of getting cash our of my amazon cards are there?? i know i looked through amazon for other gift cards thinking i could find maybe paypal then i could deposit the money into my paypal then into my bank but no luck.. sigh..

Yep...I have seen both e-giftcards and physical gift cards sold on ebay. I got a $50 giftcard from Macys a while back and there wasn't a Macy's around here so I sold it on ebay for $48

This is what I would do. I would take the gift cards and than sell them on e-bay. You may be able to get pretty close to what you have on there. OR if you live in the US you can try putting them on Craig-list. And you may find someone right now seeing as though Christmas Shopping is almost in Full Swing. That's what I would do. I'm not sure if you can take the amazon gc and depost them into paypal. I honestly don't think they do that. But it's worth a shot at least to ask. I'd still sell them though less paperwork.

well i do a ton of surveys through a lot of places and some have points, some cash and then these that do gift cards.. i think the one i have like over 60 bucks in did do it through cash but changed it because i remember it being different but i hadnt made any money at the time.. but with the points ones i can usually get paypal money which at least i can transfer it to my bank through my paypal account so its not biggie.. if i didnt need money NOW i wouldnt care and would enjoy the amazon cards and get things i wanted but since i need actual cash its irritated me because i didnt notice it earlier and i had thought that one was already paying me via paypal but i guess not..
so i guess i shouldnt complain.. just not good timing to figure out my money is stuck in a non accessible way lol..
