Unless you want to buy digital products (like Kindle books), there\u2019s little you can do with many gift cards in Nigeria.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>The good news is that there\u2019s a way to get most (if not all) of your card\u2019s face value in cash if you know where to trade. In this article, we\u2019ll tell you where you can do so at a fair price and without waiting for days or weeks to get your card or money.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Popular places to trade gift cards in Nigeria<\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-WRckwPrZsCC_QL9Gp9Q2rEBQ7eZ12slRCOipIyHGxZGyyshX2ggZkQI-tPehPX2fqxKaI3WSQFxYHddNvPfJgvpIjLfWzWhkgE0NFgBp6saTZz5GFcjSP_1hlLm5Wtxb8u5hs0X\" alt=\"Gift card in nigeria- coincola\" width=\"740\" height=\"389\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Nigeria\u2019s two common gift card exchanges that accept crypto websites are Cardnosh and Cardtronic. On Cardnosh, you can sell iTunes gift cards, Walmart gift cards, Google Play gift cards, and everything in between. They are fast, reliable, and well-respected in the niche.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Their downside is that there\u2019s quite a lot of friction when you want to exchange your card card quickly. Losing 50% of your card\u2019s value is not unheard of. If you have a card that\u2019s worth tens or thousands of dollars, that\u2019s less than desirable.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Your other option is Cardtonic. This service accepts fewer gift card types &#8211; but otherwise works the same as Cardnosh. You can exchange cards for cash quickly and relatively easily, but you also stand to lose up to 50% of a card\u2019s face value on a trade.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can international users access the above services?<\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/BQXUIus-R9_mvCkvgxqKs9irvOYECP2WhZUE83JaDaql8fa1AeGRVKCtW-CwHuWKrE7NOAI4PbK63SvtaeLjOolg6btNhhNMB6r2Vbwntb1G6gUYV8wzi8DysMInoNL025LFiETI\" alt=\"international users\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Cardnosh lets users get RMB and Naira in exchange for their gift cards. Cardtonic works with Naira only. In both cases, payouts are fast &#8211; usually minutes &#8211; and processed via mobile phone-linked payment accounts. This is convenient if you live locally, but there\u2019s a caveat.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>If you\u2019re an international user, getting your money can be substantially more difficult. Nigerian gift card processing services really aren\u2019t geared for users outside the country. Not only do you have to accept money in Nigeria\u2019s or China\u2019s currency &#8211; getting it to your account is a separate, often painstaking process.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>The reason is that internal cash transfers in Nigeria work quickly. This is true whether you use a bank account or a digital payment system linked to your phone number. International bank transfers, on the other hand, can take days or weeks; hardly convenient.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>So what <em>can<\/em> you do? Read on to find out.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trading gift cards for cryptocurrencies<\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>If you\u2019re reading this, you\u2019ve likely heard of crypto coins: digital tokens that can be bought and sold using real-life cash.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Unlike gift cards, crypto coins are easy to exchange for money with virtually no friction (i.e. no money lost). Unlike Naira and RMB, crypto coins can be transferred internationally in minutes or hours. This makes them a superior option for selling gift cards.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Once you buy crypto tokens using a gift card, you can immediately exchange them for money no matter where you happen to be. You can even choose different payment options like PayPal, card transfer, etc.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>If that sounds good to you, you may want to take a look at our platform: CoinCola.
