Liquidating GCs via Coinstar

Just noticed this new program. Any FTers have experience liquidating GCs via Coinstar?

They are for various giftcards, not VGC or AGC. Similar to selling them on cardpool or what not.

Also from what I've read, they give about 60-70% back. Absolutely horrible return.

They can because of convenience. For some it beats waiting up to four weeks to hear back from all the online portals. They can be a reck to deal with sometimes too.

How much money will I get for my gift card?
The amount we pay depends on the type of gift card you have, and depends on how easily that gift card can be resold. For example, a gift card to a grocery store, gas station, or mass merchant is more desirable than a smaller or specialty retailer. Payouts are usually around 60-85% of face value.

I like the video. Too bad we get the same crappy treatment with VGC and MGC at the Wallyworld MC.
