About Plastic Jungle

Plastic Jungle operates as an online marketplace specializing in the buying, selling, and trading of discounted gift cards from a wide range of popular brands. The platform serves individual consumers looking to save money on their purchases by acquiring gift cards at less than face value. It also caters to sellers who wish to convert their unused or partially used gift cards into cash. The company operates within the e-commerce and financial services market, leveraging a business model that earns revenue through transaction fees and the difference between the purchase and sale prices of gift cards. Plastic Jungle's strategic partnerships, such as with Incomm Corporation, enhance its market reach and service offerings. The company was co-founded in 2009 and has since grown by acquiring competitors and expanding its service portfolio.
