Quick Tips: Protect yourself first.

GCX GOLDEN RULE: A trader must comment on your GCX trading post before sending you a PM. Be sure to check your post for the comment. Many scammers can't comment.

CHECK THE USERNAMES to make sure the username of the PM and comment match. Check the account age. Don't match? Message us immediately.

SEARCH usernames on The Universal Scammer List.

INACTIVE ACCOUNTS Click on their account profile. New account? No posts? Zero trading history? Don't trade!

RULES: ESSENTIALS

1. GCX Golden Rule: Users must comment on GCX posts before sending a private message.

2. Active Redditor: Redditors must meet age and activity requirements before posting, commenting, or trading, and only active redditors can be traded with. See details here.

3. Last Word: Moderators may restrict a trade or user at their discretion. Mods reserve the right to restrict a user's posting privileges if a user refuses a request for information regarding the legitimacy of a trade or gift card.

RULES: Trade Restrictions

4. Trading Account balances over $250 in value is not permitted without prior approval. Spreading funds over multiple posts/comments does not get around this rule. See details here.

5. Selling more than $250 on a single gift card or multiple gift cards is not permitted without prior approval. Spreading funds over multiple posts/comments does not get around this rule. Buyers should check the seller has approval if the cards exceed Rule 5 requirements. See details here.

6. No cash for cash trades or account selling. This includes payment processors, cryptocurrency, prepaid credit/debit cards, and account credentials or otherwise accessing another account to complete an exchange. See details here.

RULES: Posting Rules

7. Post Title Format: [H] "item" [W] "item" State what gift cards you're offering and their amounts in your title ([H]ave and [W]ant). You must specify the value of all gift cards you are offering in the title of your post. Incorrectly formatted posts will be removed.

8. A user may post one thread per 24 hour period. Deleting your post does not get around this rule.

9. User flair must be visible at ALL times. Report any users hiding their flair.

10. Do not post a PSA. Send us a modmail.

RULES: Trader Conduct

11. GCX Beginner flaired users are only allowed to ask for PayPal G&S or trade for another gift card. See details here.

12. Be EXCELLENT to each other. Follow proper trading etiquette. Abusive, derogatory, or hostile speech directed at other users (including moderators) will not be tolerated. Do NOT interfere with other user's trades ("trade sniping"), or post your opinions of trade offers you aren't involved in.

RULES: Subreddit Customs

13. One confirmation per trade and only one confirmation per unique trader per 24 hours: For example: if you buy $25 Amazon from a user in the morning and then $50 Amazon from that same user in the afternoon, it can only be confirmed once and add only +1 to your flair total. Also, every post can only contain 1 confirmation per pair of trade partners. If you sell someone $50 Amazon and confirm on a post and then sell that same person another $50 Amazon 48 hours later, you must make a new post to get credit for that trade. However, if you sell $50 Amazon to 2 different people you may confirm both trades on the same post.

14. Report all scams or suspicious behavior. Use this link. Your reports help prevent future scams and keep this subreddit safe.

15. Do NOT PM the moderators. If you require moderator assistance, message the modmail.

16. No reselling. Do not re-sell gift cards or balances you obtained from any other exchange. This includes other gift card subreddits, crypto exchanges, or any other second hand gift card source. See details here.

17. Restricted Brands: The moderation team monitors for gift card vulnerabilities that could lead to fraudulent activity with certain brands. These brands are restricted and will need to be verified prior to offering them for sale. See details here.

GCX TRADING TIPS

1. Include a direct link to your GCX Rep Profile when you post, or when you comment on someone's post/PM them. It's a good first impression.

2. If you want to avoid arguments, don't publicly post an offer that "one ups" another offer until the first offer is declined. This isn't against the rules to do, but it might annoy some people. Just comment that you PM'ed an offer to play it safe.
