PlayStation Network, Xbox, and Steam gift cards are usually bought for one specific purpose, topping up a wallet inside that ecosystem, which means they're close to useless if you don't own the console or don't play on that platform. Converting one to crypto is often the better move than letting the code sit unused.
Redeem it or sell the code?
Some sellers redeem the card into their own account first and then sell account credit, but that's slower and ties the value to a platform-specific balance. Selling the code directly, physical or digital, is faster and keeps the buyer's side simple: they redeem it themselves.
Selling on Giftnovo
Each platform has its own offer: PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam. Open the right one, start a trade with the card's value, and send the code through the chat once it's open. An admin confirms it before the payout releases.
What affects the rate
Demand shifts with what's popular at the moment. Steam tends to hold a strong rate since it's the default marketplace for PC gaming and always has demand. PSN and Xbox move a bit with console popularity and regional pricing differences, since a US PSN code and a UK one aren't interchangeable.
Getting paid
The code gets checked before any payout happens, then the funds land in your wallet. Keep it there, withdraw it, or convert it to crypto, whatever you decide, it's yours to move once confirmed.
Common mistakes
Region-locked cards are the biggest issue with gaming vouchers specifically. A US Xbox code won't redeem on a UK account, so always confirm the region matches what's expected before agreeing to a trade. It's not a scam, just a mismatch that wastes everyone's time to sort out after the fact.
