‘Tis the season for spending! The holidays are here and that means there are gifts to buy, parties to host and traveling to do. If your bank account is looking a little slimmer than you’d like for this time of year, here are some ways to get quick cash for holiday spending.

Return Old Purchases

Perhaps you bought something you just had to have only to find out you didn’t need it so badly after all. Return past purchases that are still unused or in the package and get gift cards or cash to spend on Christmas gifts for others.

Sell Unwanted Gift Cards

You probably have some gift cards taking up space in your wallet. If you don’t want to use them up, then sell them. Use a site like PlasticJungle.com to unload those gift cards and get what you really need– cash. They’ll buy them off you for a percentage of what the card is actually worth.

Get a Loan

Get some extra cash quickly by applying for a loan online with Regional Finance. It’s quick and easy and could be the perfect solution to get you through the holidays. A wide variety of loan amounts are available and you don’t have to have perfect credit to be approved.

Visit a Pawn Shop

Have some old jewelry, DVDs or tools you no longer want? Then head to a pawn shop and sell your stuff. You’ll unload unwanted belongings and instead walk out with some extra money in your pocket.

Earn While You Search

Try using a search engine that pays you for what you’re already doing– surfing the web. Signing up for Swagbucks takes just a minute and is free. Once you create an account you start earning “Swagbucks.” You can cash Swagbucks in for gift cards or merchandise that will make great gifts this holiday season.
