I'm wondering if the bulk pays better, and approx. by how much?
Also, did you send them your physical gas cards or the scans? Their process description is not very clear, so any further details would be appreciated.

Thanks for the ideas! I'm checking them out now, and SaveYa looks interesting on paper (screen). They buy in standard quantities (under $300/mo) or bulk (over $500/mo), but not in between.

Whether you send physical cards or ecodes depends on the type of card. For gas cards, it's always physical. And that's all I've sold so far.
The one main thing I like about SaveYa is that for any > $500 sale, they'll email you a free Fedex shipping label that you can print out. No more chancing it with first class mail or paying for Priority Mail. I trust Fedex much more than the Post Office.

I have CVS gift card (store credit) like to cashout.
On Ebay get about 85% [final bids are around 93% + cost about 7% (?) between (ebay + paypal + shipping)]
I put on Craigslist for 85%, asking for 75%
Anyone has a better suggestion/experience for cvs cards?

Is it realistic to try using your store credit for upgrading to a more liquid alternative (Amazon, gas GC, VGC)?

Did you have to give SaveYa your SSN? Their current application requires that along with the DL number. With that extra requirement, I'm not sure that the risk of giving out your SSN is worth the benefit of prepaid shipping labels. Realistically speaking, most of such small companies go out of business in a few years, at which point their assets and records are up for grabs to the highest bidder.

How did you apply to become a bulk seller at Saveya?
I have "sent" my information over the website from my logged in account and I have also tried calling and leaving a message...no one ever gets back to me and I cannot find an actual application on the site..
Any advice?

As an update, I can report several reasonably good experiences with SaveYa.com.
Also, came across an article reporting that Gift Card Rescue is practically a scam.
Finally, I'm getting the impression that Giftcard Zen is delivering a substantially deteriorating service compared to last year (as well as uncompetitive payout rates).

I tried to sell a walmart gift card I bought on eBay to giftcardzen. Their form asks how the card was obtained, and I wrote "bought on eBay". So I mailed the card, and then a few days after they got the card, they emailed me saying the gift card is rejected. I asked why, and they told me that they don't accept gift cards purchased on eBay. That made me angry since I wasted time and money mailing that gift card, and they could have put a disclaimer somewhere saying they don't accept giftcards bought from eBay. However, they at least returned the card for free in a few days. Turns out place like giftcardrescue.com makes you mail a stamped and self-addressed envelope if they decide not to buy your gift card for whatever reason (and they never bother to tell you how they will decide unless they get your gift card first). I don't understand why these places don't approve your gift card before they make you mail them. They could ask for receipts and whatever they need to know before they "make the offer".
