No, impossible. Even if you buy something, they'll give you the gift card back, minus whatever you spent. They want you to use that money in their store. They won't give you the cash unless you have like 3 dollars left on it.
NO. There isn't. I don't work at Hollister but I do know they won't give you cash. If you are willing to take a small loss, you can sell them to someone else for less than face value. Sell a $20 card for $15 cash. You can ask your friends if they have a gift card from someplace that the may want to trade with you. You could park outside Hollister and ask some people going in if they can help you out. They might pay for their purchase with your card and give you the cash. Don't give them the card without getting the cash first. They may want you to go with them to the register if they think the card may be stolen and have no value. It's a reasonable suspicion for them. Those are the options I see. If you know someone having a birthday soon, you can regift it to them if you can't get rid of it. Just be sure it isn't going to expire or lose some of it's value before they are able to use it. Don't give it to them if they don't shop at Hollister though. Good luck.
you dont say where you are but if Hollister is in California and the card is under $10.00
you can cash it out and get cash for it but must a gift card for
ONLY for that merchant (a Visa gift card wont cut it)
Cardavenue.com is a great site to to sell and trade unwanted gift cards. And I think it's pretty trusty since it was recommended on the news.
most stores will not refund gift cards.. you may be able to sell them to someone.. someone who shops at hollister may be willing to buy a $20 card for $15 for example.
ADDED
No other store/website will honor a gift certificate for hollister.. your only option is to find someone who does shop there and sell the cards to them.
You'll get great rates and service at Star Gift Card Exchange http://www.stargiftcardexchange.com/
Good luck!
I am not a teen but I have never heard of a place that will trade for cash. No, it doesn't make sense.
