Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell a partially used AMEX gift card on Cardhorse?

Yes, Cardhorse accepts AMEX gift cards with remaining balances. You will need to provide the current balance during submission, and the payout rate applies to the available amount on the card, not the original value.

How long does it take to receive Naira after selling an AMEX gift card?

Payment times vary depending on verification requirements and transaction volume. Most sellers receive Naira payouts within a few hours to one business day after their card is verified and approved by the Cardhorse team.

Do AMEX gift cards work for Nigerian online stores?

AMEX gift cards generally work only on international platforms that accept American Express. Most Nigerian e-commerce sites do not support AMEX, so these cards are better suited for foreign merchants or for selling through an exchange platform.

What information do I need to sell my AMEX gift card?

You will need the card number, security code, expiration date, and current balance. Cardhorse may also ask for proof of purchase or transaction history to verify the card is legitimate and has not been reported stolen.

Are AMEX gift cards safer than other gift card brands?

AMEX gift cards include security features like activation requirements and balance protection, but they are not immune to scams. Always buy from authorized retailers, keep your card details private, and verify the seller or platform before any transaction.
