Courtyard: redemption, buyback and the questions to check

What this profile covers

This is a source-led profile of two Courtyard processes: physical card redemption and the buyback associated with its Vending Machine product. We checked the linked operator documents on 14 November 2026. We did not buy a pack, accept an offer or request delivery.

The documented processes help explain the category. They do not establish that every product is available to a reader in the EU or that the same terms apply to all future releases.

Requesting the physical card

Courtyard's redemption page describes identity verification and payment for shipping and taxes. It says it ships to most countries with exceptions; non-US destinations can involve local import charges. The page also distinguishes a vaulted digital representation from physical redemption.

Before purchasing, ask the operator to confirm the exact destination, the shipping quote and whether any conditions prevent your account from redeeming that product. A general shipping statement is not an account-eligibility decision.

Understanding the buyback

The buyback article says the offer is based on the card's estimated fair market value rather than the price paid for the pack, and gives a seven-day acceptance window. It also describes keeping the card vaulted, listing it on the marketplace or redeeming it as alternatives.

The withdrawal help requires identity verification and says available methods depend on the country and account. Its list of payment routes does not confirm that a particular EU reader can use one. A valuation, an offer and an accessible payout are separate checks.
