PHOENIX - Do you have gift cards that you know you won't use? Well I found a way to trade them in for cash.

It's a site called Cardcash.com . You can sell your unwanted cards, trade them or even buy gift cards at a discount.

How much you get for your cards depends on the merchant. Some merchants are more popular than others, so of course you'll get less for the less desirable merchants.

For example, I have a $20 Starbucks gift card. Cardcash will pay 80 percent of the value, so you'll get $16 for your $20 gift card.

For Cabela’s you will get less at 67 percent of the value. So your $20 gift card will only be worth about $13 bucks.

If you're more interested in buying gift cards, it's a better deal for you.

You simply search for the cards you want and get 10 to 30 percent off.

We found a $200 dollar H&M gift card for $170.  So it's a good option if you are looking for a gift for someone or for yourself!

You also have the option to trade gift cards, but keep in mind the transaction fee ranges from 3 to 10 percent.

To try it out, simply go to Cardcash.com .
