In the gift card trading market, you will often see terms like "Big Card" (Large Denomination) and "Small Card" (Small Denomination). Understanding this distinction is important because the exchange rate often varies depending on the face value of the card.
Definition of a "Big Card"
An Amazon "Big Card" refers to a gift card with a high face value.
-
Typical Denominations: Generally, cards with values of $50, $100, $200, $300, $400, $500, and up to $1000 are considered "Big Cards."
-
Small Cards: Conversely, cards with lower values such as $10, $15, $25, or other odd amounts (like $36.50) are typically classified as "Small Cards."
Why Does Denomination Matter?
The face value of the card directly affects the exchange rate (Rate).
-
Different Rates: Market demand for $100 cards might be different from the demand for $25 cards. Therefore, a Big Card and a Small Card might be traded at different rates per dollar.
-
Rate Stability: Generally, standard denominations like $50 and $100 (Big Cards) tend to have more stable and competitive rates compared to very small or irregular denominations.
