Got an Xbox Gift Card You’ll Never Use? Turn It Into Real Cash—Seriously, It’s That Easy We’ve all been there. Maybe your grandma tried to be thoughtful and bought you an Xbox gift card for Christmas—bless her heart—but you’re a die-hard PlayStation or PC gamer. Maybe your coworker ran a team raffle, and you “won” a $20 Microsoft code… even though your console of choice runs on a different ecosystem entirely. Or maybe you just bought a card during a flash sale, thinking, “I’ll figure out how to use it later,” and now it’s been eight months, and “later” never showed up.
Whatever the story, that Xbox gift card is just sitting there—digital dead weight in your inbox, your wallet app, or worse, scribbled on a crumpled receipt somewhere.
But here’s the thing: it’s not worthless. In fact, it’s sitting on real value—money you could actually spend on something you do care about.
And turning it into cash? Way easier than you think.
