How to sell a RCL gift card that is no longer needed

[paige228]

I am trying to sale a royal Caribbean gift card that is no longer needed. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can no longer use it. Is there a way I can swap cards for another cruise line. WE are going on a Disney cruise now. We had to rebook because of a work conflict and now we will sailing a shorter Disney cruise. We have a toddler so this will be better.

I am not sure what to do about the gift cards we received. Thanks in advance!

I’m in the same delimma with NCL. Someone on that board suggested Craigslist.

Look at #10.

[paige228]

I feel so bad for the ones who gave them to us.. I guess my family is out $250.

I’m going to call the cruise line and see what I can do.

[paige228]

What if it’s gifted?

Never mind. I feel so bad for the ones who gave them to us.. I guess my family is out $250.

[paige228]

[cruiseguy1016]

Gift it to someone and then, as a thank you for the gift, they can send you a gift of cash. ;)

I know this is an old topic, but I thought I would refresh it seeing as I am in a similar situation.  I bought the wrong gift card on AARP.  They will not exchange or refund it.  It is a $500 digital gift card that I would like to sell.  $400 (negotiable).  There is no expiration date. 

 

Thanks ya'll

Note to self, don’t buy gift cards. Only exception might be if I pay x amount and get x amount+ in value…

@bafinegan If you have an upcoming cruise, you could apply it as onboard credit and then cash it out at the casino slots as a room charge.

Many folks buy gift cards because they get some discount -the OP may have gotten that gift card for less than $500.
