Chief, this guide will walk you through the types of gift cards we accept and everything you need to know to trade your gift cards confidently and get the best value.
At Pandar, we accept both physical gift cards and e-codes, but with slight differences;
A physical card is the image of the actual gift card obtained from a retail store.
An e-code, , is the digital version sent via email or just the redeemable code itself.
Both are accepted on our platform (depending on the brand), however physical cards have a higher rate than e-codes. If you upload only the redeemable code without an image of the card, your trade will automatically be treated as an e-code and priced accordingly.
Most importantly, Chief, the only part of the gift card we need to initiate a trade is the section that clearly displays the redeemable code. Except for special cards like Vanilla, Visa and AMEX. Make sure it's visible and legible to avoid any delays.
