Transfer money from gift card to Cash App

If you have a gift card in your possession but don’t know how to use it or cash it, there is an alternative in Cash App. The method is not simple, but you will be able to transfer money from gift card to Cash App.

Cash App is a payment platform that allows you to send and receive money. It is very easy to use, offering services from shopping to the stock exchange. You need to install it on your device, register, and start using it.

One of the benefits that stand out of this application is the option of a Visa debit card. This service is known as Cash App Card, similar to a normal debit card, although with gift cards, it works differently.

How to transfer money from the gift card to Cash App using PayPal

So far, Cash App does not offer the option to directly transfer money from a gift card. You can only do it indirectly from PayPal. Here are the single steps to follow:

1. Log in to PayPal.
2. Select PayPal Balance.
3. Click on the Link a card option to include the gift card.
4. Enter all the card information.
5. Click on the Link card.

Once this single step is completed, you will need to send money from the PayPal wallet to the Cash App account. Linking the Cash App to the PayPal account is the same as the one used with the gift card. By linking the Cash App card to PayPal, you can send money from PayPal to Cash App via the gift card.

1. Log in to PayPal.
2. Click on Transfer Money.
3. Then select Transfer to your bank.
4. If you have not linked the Cash App card in this single step, you can do it and then click on Next. Enter the amount to Transfer.
5. Review each piece of information and then tap the Transfer option.

This balance transfer method is complex, but if you insist on doing it, you must follow all the procedures to achieve it. In addition, the idea is also to be able to buy a gift card with Cash App. This is done through PayPal without any problems.

This is how to transfer money from gift card to Cash App:

1. From the CashApp website, login.
2. Fill in the merchant’s name and the amount of the gift card.
3. Click Get Offer (If any offers are available, you will see the PayPal balance you will have after exchanging with the gift card).
4. If you agree with the amount, click Get.
5. A pop-up window will appear where you must select PayPal Express as your payment method.
6. Enter your gift card number and PIN. You must be logged in to your PayPal account.
7. Click Get my PayPal balance.
8. When the balance is available in your PayPal wallet, you can transfer it to your bank account.
9. You can add it to the Cash App wallet when you reach the bank account.

Since, so far, there is no direct way to add a gift card to the Cash App, this indirect method is the best alternative. Otherwise, you can use the cards by making purchases in physical stores or online.

Which cards are supported by Cash App?

The Cash App supports all government-enabled prepaid cards. The difference is that it does not allow you to transfer money from gift cards to Cash App. It also accepts debit and credit cards, as long as they are Visa.

In that sense, Cash App’s government prepaid gift cards, MasterCard, American Express, and Discovery are accepted only if they are in the account holder’s name.

If you have a Visa gift card, you will also not be able to transfer money to the Cash App directly. You must apply the indirect method, but not before linking the gift card to the PayPal account and then sharing the money from PayPal to the Cash App.

Please note that you must set up a PayPal account to transfer money from a gift card to Cash App using a particular way.
