While convenient, note that Prepaid2Cash has a pretty high transaction fee for visa gift cards.

To do this, create an account on Prepaid2Cash. Select Transaction and choose the Prepaid Card option.  Key in your card details & the amount you want to transfer out of the gift card.

You can also use MoneyGram to transfer the gift card balance to your bank account.

This process is completely online, so you don’t need to commute to any MoneyGram branch.

Sign up for an account on MoneyGram and wait for them to verify your account.  Once verified, select Send Money and input the payment details. From here, follow their prompts.

Note that MoneyGram collects a $1.99 fee if your transfer is under $200.

If you send more than $200, you’ll be charged 1% of the amount on top of the $1.99 fee.

Overall, we recommend transferring your gift card through our first method via PayPal. But the other methods we listed here work just as well.
