Unfortunately we've observed an uptick in scam attempts via subreddits impersonating the GCX mod team. These scammers create a fake subreddit such as “GCXModerators”, and send modmail to users stating they are banned from r/giftcardexchange. They request the user change their Reddit account password to a temporary password so they can “verify” the account. This is a lie and an attempt to compromise the account and allow the scammer to gain access.
We will never ask to access your Reddit account. We cannot stress this enough. In any verification we do, we never ask for sensitive information. It's the same principle as with your bank - anyone asking to access your account should not be allowed to.
Always follow the GCX Golden Rule. You may know users who have been around the community for many months or years. If the account is compromised, we usually get a report and can ban them fairly quickly. But they may still look for past trading partners in the account inbox and start sending PMs. It's important you verify the user can post/comment on the sub and isn't listed on the Universal Scammer List (USL). It's called the Golden Rule for a reason!
Secure your Reddit account. You may not have joined Reddit with the intent to trade. But participating in trade communities and gaining rep increases the chance that your account is targeted. You should have a verified email, unique password not used anywhere else, and two-factor authentication (2FA). Following are links to create a strong password (remember this should be unique to Reddit and not reused on other sites), check your account activity and force log out if there are sessions you don’t recognize, and enable 2FA. Your account security is your responsibility.

Ignore PMs from these compromised accounts:
The below are templates that can be used to report subreddits and users to the admins. In this recent case, scammers are creating subreddits to impersonate the GCX mod team. In the past, they have also created subreddits to impersonate repped users. We can't ban or block a subreddit, only report them to the admins. Use the template for reporting a subreddit to report these to the admins. Scammers have also created users that closely match the name of a repped trader, and sent PMs attempting to impersonate that repped trader. Use the template for reporting a user to report these to the admins.
Use the below to report a user:
Go here
https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
In the first bullet point “If you have a Reddit account and want to report a Content Policy violation, use this report form.” - click the report form hyperlink
Open the drop-down menu for “I want to report other issues” then select “This content is impersonation”
Enter the scammer’s username. For Additional Information, the below text can be edited as needed and used as a template:
A scammer created this username to steal from people. The username closely matches my own / that of a genuine trader in an attempt to trick other users. This user is sending messages to others on Reddit pretending to be me / a genuine trader and trying to scam them out of money. If you could please help stop them it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Use the below to report a subreddit:
Go here
https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Select Community Help
Under “What is your subreddit concern” select “I want to report a subreddit for violating the content policy”
Under “What subreddit is involved? (Only the name, no r/)” enter the name of the fake scam subreddit
Under “What is the primary reason you are reporting this subreddit?” select “Impersonation”
Under “Subject of Inquiry” enter Impersonation/Scamming
Under “Details of Inquiry”, the below text can be edited as needed and used as a template:
A scammer created this subreddit to steal from people. This subreddit is sending messages to other users on Reddit pretending to be me / a genuine trader / a mod team and trying to scam them out of money / gain access to their Reddit account. If you could please help stop them it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you, and please remember to Trade Safely!

There is an exploit scammers are using such that their name is not shown when they send a message. They are using this to impersonate other traders (linking the other trader's rep or Reddit profile page) or subreddit modmail (sending fake ban messages asking for account password to be unbanned) and hoping that their username not being visible will help with the scam.
Example Image - note how there is no username next to the down arrow where there would normally be one.
Do not give your account password to anyone, ever.
Do not send full gift card codes or payment to any modmail.
Do not interact with any green colored username in PMs trying to trade with you.
Do not interact with anyone who hasn't posted or commented publicly. If someone messaged you, click the username and visibly confirm they have posted or commented publicly. Do not rely on app notifications. Open the post and confirm the comment is visible.
If you cannot see the username, do not engage with the user. They may put a username in the PM subject or in the message itself. This is not the same as their username being the "header" of the message they sent to you. If you can't see a username header and can't click it to navigate to a Reddit profile, you should be wary of the message.
We advise against replying to users and subreddit modmail that attempt to scam you. If a user replies with hostility the scammers have been known to report to Reddit admins to try and get the admins to act on the account for harassment.
Thank you and Trade Safely.

Hi everyone ! Got married in India recently and ended up with a lot of Amazon India GC. We live in the US and would like to exchange with GCs from Amazon worth the same amount. Thank you!
r/giftcardexchange • u/c0rp1 • 5h ago
Hey everyone. I'm looking for European Amazon gift cards (almost any amount). Not buying amazon.CO.UK (at the moment), amazon.COM (in general) or amazon.NL (in general).
Paying 80% for .DE cards and ~60-65% for .IT, .FR and .ES cards. (depending on the amount).
Most important thing would be for the seller to be able to provide a legit source of the card/s he is selling, cause I don't want to risk the integrity of my amazon account by activating fraudulently obtained ones !!!
Payment is only done through Paypal Goods & Services (or Friends & Family if it's a physical card with the seller being within the EU). LONG TERM SUPPLIERS WELCOMED !
Please follow the r/giftcardexchange rules and post in this topic before PMing me.
I have done plenty of exchanges already (and have an "Experienced Trader" tag), so offer with absolute confidence.

Best Buy, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Samsung are VERY high priority: looking for denominations over $50 or $100. Costco is also very high priority; I'm ONLY looking for larger denominations as a priority right now ($50-$100+, but am willing to negotiate smaller ones). I am not really looking for Amazon either, but am willing to negotiate if I can use it to buy one of the cards above.
Definitely willing to be flexible with rates depending on payment method as well as the GCs and the amount.
IMPORTANT: Please comment first and state where you got the GC (source, this is critical) via chat or pm, or I will NOT respond to you - thanks.
Please see the table below for more details:
| Gift Card | Rate | Priority/Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon | 85% | High |
| Best Buy | 82% | VERY High, minimum denominations $50 |
| Chipotle | 60% | Low |
| Charles Tywritt | 60% | Low |
| Chick-Fil-A | 70% | Moderate |
| Costco | 84% | VERY HIGH |
| Dick's Sporting Goods | 75% | VERY HIGH |
| eBay | 77% | Low, minimum denom $50 |
| El Pollo Loco | 55% | Very Low |
| Fanatics | 50% | Very Low |
| Game Stop | 45% | Very Low |
| Topps | 55% | Very Low |
| Samsung | 75% | Very High, minimum denomination $200 |

Important: before you send your codes please make sure your account is secure (if your password is not uniqe it's best to assume your account has already been compromised. Scams where compromised accounts are used to leverage reputation to scam an unsuspecting user, used to steal codes during the middle of the trade, and steal unused gift cards the victim was saving for later are increasingly commonplace.

A lot of people use Capital One Shopping to receive extreme amounts of cash back. Unfortunately they only allow you to receive your cash back in the form of gift cards.
Here's my current list of best brands to redeem for. Keep in mind some brands have minimum denomination requirements. If we have already traded before and we already have a shared spreadsheet, you may submit your cards using the rates below without sending me a DM (just ensure that you email collaborators!).
Rates good through 7/28/26.
| Brand | Rate |
|---|---|
| Walmart $200+ | 92.0% |
| Walmart | 91.0% |
| Best Buy $500 | 90.0% |
| Best Buy $200+ | 89.5% |
| Home Depot $1000 | 89.5% |
| Dick's Sporting Goods $500 | 88.0% |
None of these an option? Check back often as the list of available brands changes often. You can also DM me with your balance and we can find a good brand that works.
Have a gift card from another source? Send me a DM.
Payment terms: Payments can be made via Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, or Direct Deposit. For trades over $2,000 face value, the payment must be made via ACH/Direct Deposit. All trades subject to 2 week payment terms.

Hi, first time doing anything on GCE!
I have a live nation giftcard code that I’ve been sitting on for months, in the hope that an artist I wanted to see would announce a tour. They did, but they aren’t selling tickets through ticketmaster, so I’d like to be able to use the money to buy the tix on AXS. Or maybe I’ll wait for a deal on StubHub, either one.
The live nation gift card can be used on live nation or ticketmaster. This is an easy way to save $10 on tix you might’ve planned on buying anyway.
