In case you\u2019re a Happy GC newb like I used to be, these cards are basically Visa debit cards that work only at certain stores, and there are multiple varieties that work at a different set of places. An example: Buy a $100 \u201cHappy Treats\u201d gift card which can be at GameStop and at a few other places, then go to GameStop and buy two $50 Steam cards with the Happy card. The Steam cards resell at 90-93%, so you can really come out ahead if you can make good use of OD\/OM rewards and have more than one account. Often you can liquidate the Happy cards online too, no need to make an in-person trip in many cases.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t yet have a liquidation channel for manufactured spend gift cards, several good options include <a aria-label=\"SCO GC  (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/scogc.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SCO GC <\/a>and <a aria-label=\"TheCardBay (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/thecardbay.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TheCardBay<\/a>.
