CardCash.com was ranked this month as the 14th Most Promising Company in America by Forbes<\/a> magazine. This is the second straight year that CardCash.com, the web’s largest gift card exchange<\/a>, was included by Forbes in their annual ranking of America\u2019s Most Promising Companies — a holistic list of 100 privately held, high-growth companies with bright futures.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re honored to be recognized by Forbes for the second straight year as one of America\u2019s companies on the rise\u201d, said Elliot Bohm, CEO and co-founder of CardCash.com. \u201cThe honor is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team in making the purchase and sale of unwanted gift cards<\/a> a daily reality for hundreds of thousands of Americans.<\/p>\n

In 2013 CardCash.com\u2019s explosive growth continued, with revenue rising by more than 300%, from $17 million in 2012 to $56 million in 2013. The growth is in line with what CardCash has seen since its inception in 2008.<\/p>\n

Among the highlights in 2013 for CardCash.com were: entering into a number of strategic partnerships in the secondary gift card marketplace; beginning to accept the sale of digital gift cards<\/a> as the industry trends towards electronic gift cards; and closing on $6 million in Series A venture funding from Guggenheim Partners in November.<\/p>\n

CardCash.com\u2019s secure gift card marketplace allows the website to purchase gift cards from over 700 merchants, offering as much as 97% of the card\u2019s value for cards that would otherwise go unused. CardCash then turns around and sells these cards to consumers who are happy to save as much as 35% on their everyday purchases.<\/p>\n

Annual gift card sales exceed $110 billion annually in the United States, according to a recent survey from the CEB Tower Group. As that number continues to grow, nearly 10% of those cards go unspent every year. To help access that locked-up capital, CardCash.com provides a simple and secure online exchange that allows consumers to convert these unused cards into cash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
