Not all gift cards are created equal when it comes to resale value. While Swapio offers a consistent 5% fee across all brands, some cards are swapped more often because they're widely used and easy to verify.
1. Amazon
The most submitted card on Swapio. High demand, easy verification, and balances from $10 to $5,000.
2. Visa / Mastercard
Open-loop prepaid cards are essentially cash already — which makes them fast to verify and popular for swaps.
3. Apple
Apple gift cards hold strong value year-round. Digital and physical cards both accepted.
4. Target & Walmart
Big-box retail cards are always in demand. They're among the most commonly received gift cards in the US.
5. Steam & PlayStation
Gaming cards swap quickly, especially during sale seasons. Popular with younger users looking to convert cards to cash.
What affects your offer?
On Swapio, every card receives 95% of its balance regardless of brand. The 5% service fee is flat and transparent. Your payout method — PayPal, Cash App, Zelle, or bank transfer — doesn't change the amount.
