Has anybody exchanged e-vouchers on hotukdeals.com?

I have a few spare Amazon e-vouchers that I'd like to convert into cash.

At the moment the options I have considered are:

1) Buying items on Amazon and selling them on Ebay
2) Reddit r/giftcardexchange
3) The app Zeek from the Play Store
4) For Sale/Trade on hotukdeals.com

Which option have you ever used and which would you recommend?

Thanks

I assume you haven't redeemed the vouchers? Just checking, seen people asking what they can do when they've already redeemed them, in which case you can only use them on the account you've redeemed them on.

1. Works but is obviously hassle and you'll most likely end up with less than the voucher values (possibly quite a lot less).

2 and 3. Never had anything to do with them.

4. If e-vouchers are allowed to be sold on there (I can't remember) then HotUKDeals is a decent option. Just make sure you follow their rules for selling. If you've sold on there (or at least are known on there) before you'll probably do better, otherwise some people may not trust buying e-vouchers from you.

Best option really, if possible, is sell them to a family member or friend. Cash in hand, you both trust each other, you may get more for them and no worries that someone will say the codes didn't work.

Unfortunately the only people I tend to know are scroungers who won't even pay to a bailiff id he came with the police. Sad but true.

Thanks for the tips.

Ah dear

Yeah, other options are better then lol.

No problem

Is there nothing you could buy on Amazon that you'd normally buy elsewhere? Say, food for example. Buy it off Amazon, saving the money you'd usually spend on that and allowing you to spend the cash on something else. Any birthdays coming up maybe where you need to buy a gift? Saves the hassle of buying and selling and you'd be getting their full value then.

Not really. Price on Amazon UK are not as competitive as 2-3 years ago. I buy a few electronics from Amazon USA, but I can't reuse the gift cards.

I already have about £100 in credit on Amazon and I don't know what to do with it.
