Consumer Investigator Danielle Serino has some tips for how you can turn those unwanted gift cards into some holiday cash.

Cleveland — We’ve all received a gift card – perhaps for a store where we don’t shop, or just a card we can’t use.

Some head to sites where you can sell those cards, which is a great way to get extra cash. And since some of those sites re-sell the cards at a discount, you can score some great deals.
