Tips for Choosing a Gift Card Trading App to Use
Choosing the right app to sell your gift cards for Naira or Cedis can save you time, money, and stress. Here’s how to pick a gift card trading platform in Nigeria or Ghana that you can trust:
1. Start with the rates
Good rates make a big difference because the value of your gift card changes from app to app. Always compare rates before committing to a gift card trading platform, and choose the one with the best rates.
Nosh, for example, has an online gift card rate calculator you can use to check how much your gift card is worth, without going into the app.
2. Consider payment speed
Nobody wants to wait hours to get paid. A good trading app should process your card and send your money within minutes. If you notice many reviews or social media comments saying payments take too long, that’s a red flag.
3. Look at security
Since gift card trading involves money, you need an app that takes security seriously. Check if the platform is registered, verified, active on social platforms, and has Two-Factor authentication (2FA). Your information should be protected, trades should be handled securely, and funds should be safe.
4. Check customer support
Even the best apps can have hiccups. What matters is how fast support responds. Look for platforms with active customer service. Do they have a live chat option? Is there an hotline you can call? Is there a dedicated email for complaints? Do they respond on social media?
Apps like Nosh are known for 24/7 customer support and fast replies, which helps a lot if anything happens.
5. Read the reviews
Before downloading any app, take a moment to read what other users say. Reviews tell you what the app does well and where it struggles. If an app has too many complaints about payment issues, slow verification, or low rates, avoid it.

Brent crude rose by 3.83 per cent or $3.04 to $82.29 per barrel on Thursday after an information that an Iranian parliament committee was reviewing a bill that would ban US and Israeli vessels from the Strait of Hormuz.
Also, the price of the US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures went up by 81 cents or 1.05 per cent to $77.29 per barrel during the session.
Under the apparent draft, Iran would ban American and Israeli ships from transiting the strait. Other nations that have harmed Iran would not be allowed to transit until compensation is paid, according to the draft. Iran would impose penalties on violators equivalent to 20 per cent of the value of cargo aboard a ship.
Market analysts noted that crude traders remain focused on the US-Iran agreements, and the longer the delays, the more prices will fade back to the upside.
Iran has warned Gulf states that any new US attack on its territory would trigger attacks on critical energy infrastructure across the region.
Before the Iran conflict began in late February, about one-fifth of global daily oil and liquefied natural gas supplies flowed through the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, Yemen’s Houthis said they carried out missile and drone attacks on “Saudi deployments” in Marib and Hadramout in Yemen on Thursday. This has led to elimination of Saudi-aligned fighters as well as destruction of military camps, weapons depots and vehicles.’
Also, Iran and Oman appear to be close to agreeing on joint management of the Strait of Hormuz with Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baghaei, saying the deal with Oman was “in the final stages.”
Saudi Arabia has slightly lowered the official selling price for its flagship Arab Light crude oil to Asia in September.
Elsewhere, a major oil refinery in Russia’s Yaroslavl region was on fire after a big Ukrainian drone attack. The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the country’s military had hit two Russian oil refineries – the Bashneft-Novoil refinery in the republic of Bashkortostan, and the Slavneft-Yanos refinery in the Yaroslavl region.

CBN Governor Yemi Cardoso, represented by the Acting Director of Corporate Communications and Investor Relations, Mrs Hakama Sidi-Ali, disclosed this on Tuesday during the CBN Fair in Gombe. He noted that reforms introduced since 2023 had significantly reduced the disparity between the official FX market and the parallel market.
