<p>I gave btcquick a try some time ago but never had any success.  <a href="https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sdui/personal/webpay/faq" rel="nofollow">Amazon webpay</a> is a simple way to cash-out a gift card. Not really intended to send yourself money though -- the official way to do that would be to have a trusted friend use their amazon account to send it to yours. Or you can figure out some workaround I'm sure. More details at the link. </p>

<p>Pros - no fee. </p>

<p>Cons - takes 5-7 days to get the cash-back into your bank account. Which may be what you're trying to avoid in the first place. </p>

<p>Amex also claims you can redeem their gift cards for cash by calling the number on the back, but I don't know how long that takes; my guess is a check in the usps in 6-8 weeks minus some fee. Not recommended. </p>
