About

Customers could buy gift cards for up to 30% off face value, sell them for up to 90% of face value in cash, trade them for an Amazon.com gift card, or donate them to charity, with free shipping and a 100-day return policy. Founded in 2009 by Anson Tsai and Timothy Wong as part of Y Combinator's Winter 2010 batch, San Francisco-based Cardpool was acquired by Blackhawk Network in October 2011 for $19 million and continued operating as a subsidiary brand.
