How to Prepare a Gift Card Buyback Enquiry

Clear card details help support assess acceptance and provide a quote. Golden Earth buys gift cards and does not sell them. A full card code is not needed for an enquiry. This checklist works for an unused personal card, a batch of cards or an ongoing supply enquiry.

01Start With Six Card Details

Start with the details you can confirm from the card. If the issuing region or product type is uncertain, say so and let support clarify it. Separate confirmed details from open questions instead of guessing.

Give the issuing region according to the card information. If you know only the value and cannot confirm the region, make that clear to support.

  • The brand and product name shown on the card, such as Apple, Steam or Razer Gold.
  • The issuing region, currency and face value of each card, listed separately.
  • The quantity, physical or digital format, and whether the card has been used.

02Group a Batch Before Giving a Total

A single brand can include cards from different regions, with different values or formats. Group cards that share the same details and list the quantity in each group. Confirm mixed batches separately so a quote for one group is not applied to another.

One cardRegion, currency, value, format and status
Matching cardsShared details plus the quantity
Mixed batchSeparate groups by brand, region and value

03Copy This Enquiry Template

Send the following details through a support link on this website to start an enquiry. This is a formatting template, not a promise that every brand, region or value is accepted. Do not include a full card code at this stage.

Enquiry Template

Brand / product name: Issuing region: Currency and value per card: Quantity: Physical / digital: Previously used: Preferred settlement currency and timing:

04Confirm the Terms for This Trade

Quotes typically change with the market every 15 minutes to 2 hours. Confirm which card group the amount covers, the settlement currency, the transfer network where applicable, and the expected timing. Request expedited settlement before submitting cards and ask support whether it can be arranged.

Once the terms are agreed, support will invite you to a trade group. Submit card details there in the agreed way. If any enquiry detail changes, tell support first so acceptance and pricing can be checked again.

Before submitting a card, confirm acceptance, the current buyback amount, settlement method and expected timing with support.
