Raise Competitors

Founded in 2008, CardCash offers the country’s largest and most secure selection of discounted gift cards online. The company has been ranked for three straight years on Forbes’ list of America’s Most Promising Companies, and for four straight years on the prestigious Inc. 500 list of the fastest growing private companies in America. CardCash.com raised $6 million in equity funding from Guggenheim Partners in November 2013, and $6 million in debt funding in December of 2014 from Sterling National Bank. Also in 2014 CardCash acquired former rival Plastic Jungle, and entered into a strategic partnership with Incomm, a leading provider of connectivity and integrated point-of-sale technology solutions to retailers. According to recent studies, there are close to 60 billion dollars of unwanted and unused gift cards collecting dust in the United States. CardCash.com has been helping millions of Americans turn these cards into cash since its inception in 2008. And now, just a few years later, the Web site has reached a new level, transferring millions of dollars per year in gift cards to people who have no use for them to people who are anxious to save money on all of their shopping expenses. With headquarters in New York City and Central New Jersey, CardCash.com presently offers the largest selection of discounted gift cards online and has the highest standards of security implemented to identify fraudulent sellers and inaccurate cards. You can find us on Twitter @CardCash or on their Facebook page.

Cardpool was founded by Anson Tsai and Timothy Wong in 2009 on the belief that no gift card should ever go unused. We created this service to solve the frustrating problem of having unwanted gift cards. While we love getting gift cards from our family, friends, and coworkers, sometimes we end up with an unwanted gift card that we never end up using. Even worse, we know someone else would enjoy these gift cards, but we have no good way of finding them. After talking to our friends about this problem, we realized many people felt the same way and we decided someone had to fix this problem. We created Cardpool to solve this problem by creating a service where anyone can buy, sell, or trade their gift cards in a safe and secure environment. By gathering all the gift card buyers and sellers from around the world into one place, we think we can create a service that lets everyone end up getting exactly what they want, whether it's a discounted gift card or simply cash. If you'd like to learn more about how our system works, check out the how it works page at www.cardpool.com. If you have any other questions, comments, or feedback, we would love to hear from you.
