Frequently Asked Questions

GCHaven.club is a secure online platform where you can sell your unused gift cards for cash. We post deals for specific gift card brands at competitive rates — you reserve a deal, submit your card details and receipt, and receive a payout once verified.

Creating an account is free and takes less than 2 minutes. Click the "Sign Up" button, enter your email address and create a password, then verify your email through the confirmation link we send you.

KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is a one-time identity check required before you can sell gift cards. You'll need to provide a valid government-issued ID and a selfie. This protects both you and our platform from fraud and ensures all transactions are legitimate. Verification is typically completed within 24 hours.

No. Creating an account on GCHaven.club is completely free. There are no signup fees, monthly fees, or hidden charges. You only interact with our rates when you sell a gift card.

A deal is an offer on our platform to buy a specific gift card brand at a set rate. For example, we might post a deal for DoorDash gift cards at 75% of face value. Deals show the brand, rate, accepted denominations, and estimated payout timeframe. Available deals change based on demand.

The brands we accept vary based on current demand and change regularly. Common brands include DoorDash, Instacart, Home Depot, and others. Check the Deals page in your dashboard for the latest available brands and their current rates.

A reservation is your commitment to sell a specific number of gift cards at the current deal rate. When you reserve, the rate is locked in for you — even if the deal rate changes afterward. Reservations have a time window (typically 24 hours) for you to submit your cards.

If you don't submit your gift cards within the reservation window, the reservation expires and the slots are released. You can always create a new reservation on an active deal, but the rate may have changed.

No. We only accept gift cards with their full, unused balance. Partially used gift cards cannot be submitted for sale on our platform.

After reserving a deal, go to the Checkout page. Upload a photo of your receipt, then enter your gift card details (card number, PIN if applicable) for each card. You'll see a summary of your payout before confirming. Once submitted, our team reviews and verifies the cards.

Yes. Every submission requires at least one receipt image as proof of purchase. Accepted formats include PNG, JPG, and WebP. This helps us verify the card's legitimacy and protects against fraud.

You can view all your submissions and their statuses from your dashboard. Submissions progress through stages: Submitted (pending review), Accepted (verified), Ready for Payout (approved), and Paid (payout sent). You'll see real-time updates as your cards move through the process.

If there's an issue with a submission, our team will add notes explaining what needs to be corrected. You can resubmit with the updated information. Common reasons for rejection include incorrect card details or unclear receipt images.

Each deal specifies an estimated payout timeframe. Once your gift cards are verified and approved, payouts are processed in batches. You can track your payout status in real time from your dashboard.

No. The rate you see when you reserve a deal is the rate you get. The payout amount shown at checkout is what you'll receive — no surprise deductions or hidden fees.

Rates vary by brand, demand, and card denomination. Some deals offer tiered pricing where higher denominations get better rates. You can always check current rates on the Deals page before reserving.
