Intro
Many Nigerian and Kenyan users receive or hold American Express (Amex) gift cards from relatives abroad, online rewards, or unused prepaid card balances. In the Nigerian and Kenyan gift card resale market, Amex is treated more like a prepaid payment card than a normal retail gift card. It usually needs closer balance and card-status checks than standard retail cards.
Many Amex cards are linked to the US market and USD. This can make local use difficult for users in Nigeria or Kenya. As a result, many holders prefer to sell Amex gift cards for Naira or KSh instead of leaving the balance unused.
You can sell American Express (Amex) gift cards on KolaCash and receive a payout in NGN to Nigerian bank accounts or in KES through M-PESA in Kenya after approval. Unused Amex cards are preferred, while partly used cards may also be reviewed if the remaining balance can be verified. We first confirm your final quote on WhatsApp. If you accept the quote, card loading and verification may require the full card number or other required details. Most approved American Express trades are paid within 5-10 minutes after verification.

About American Express Gift Cards
An American Express (Amex) gift card is a prepaid card that can be used at eligible merchants that accept American Express cards. It is different from Apple, Google Play, Steam, Target, and other store-specific gift cards because it works more like a prepaid payment card.
These cards cannot be used at ATMs and are not normally redeemable for cash except where required by law. Some cards may show a valid-thru date, but that date is not the same as the gift card balance expiring.
The available balance can be affected by pending authorizations, merchant holds, or recent card activity. For trading on KolaCash, final approval and payout still depend on card type, currency, available balance, card status, and successful verification.
