If you're sitting on a gift card or two from a store you never shop in, or you've got leftover value on cards you've used, United Airlines may have a deal for you. It just may not be a good one.
The airline has set up a MileagePlus Gift Card Exchange page to list its offers and the cards it will accept. The catch is that in essence, United is selling points at a price of around 3.5c each, while sites such as The Points Guy value them at about half that. But, if the cards would otherwise to to waste, it's a better deal.
United's page says it will buy cards with $15 to $100 value on them. The Points Guy page also suggests readers check other deals such as CardCash for possible better rates.
