A $100 Nike gift card sells for ₦81,000 in Nigeria — the best per-dollar line this card earns, and it keeps earning it because of where the card goes once it leaves your hands. This guide prices every size, follows that journey to its checkout, and runs your sale in the order that keeps the card number and the PIN with you until a written figure lands.
What a $100 Nike card pays — and what the other sizes pay
Two lines carry the card on the board. Anything from $10 to $99 earns ₦700 per dollar; from $100 upward the line pays ₦810 per dollar, flat to $500. Worked out: ₦81,000 for a $100 card, ₦35,000 for a $50, ₦17,500 for a $25, and ₦405,000 for the board's largest size.
The board prices the plastic card, and an e-code out of an email sells on the same lines — name the form up front. Run your size through the Nike calculator for its figure, and the Nike rate table keeps both lines public.
Keep one fact in view when the figure lands: the card left the till at full face. Nike's own store sells it from $25 to $500, the emailed version landing in about two hours or less — so the gap between that face and your payout is the spread this whole market lives inside, and the next two sections account for where it goes.
The US wall, in Nike's own words
Nike's gift-card terms pin the card's spending to one map. The card redeems, in their words, "online at Nike.com, Converse.com, select Nike mobile applications, at any Nike-owned and Converse-owned stores in the United States and Puerto Rico, or certain affiliated properties." Then the flat bar: the card "may not be applied toward the purchase of goods or services at any Nike or Nike-affiliated property outside of the United States or Puerto Rico."
The terms even name the escape route — and close it. Nike's international orders run through a checkout partner, "U.S. Direct E-Commerce Limited, doing business as ‘eShopWorld’," and the same clause states the card is not accepted there. So the card cannot shop abroad directly, and it cannot shop abroad through Nike's own international lane either. Two doors, both shut.
None of this means Nike ignores Nigeria — Nike's own store directory lists partnered shops in Lagos. But partnered is not Nike-owned, and no Nigerian property appears on the card's redemption map. Here, then, the card's value comes down to exactly one thing: what a buyer will pay to take it off your hands. That is the wall every Nike quote is priced against — and the reason the journey in the next section exists at all.
Where a sold Nike card goes
The journey starts the moment your sale closes. The desk that bought the card does not sit on it — sitting earns nothing. It resells the credit, at a small discount, to the person who actually wants what the card buys: someone with a US address and plans for Nike product. That buyer checks out at Nike.com or Converse.com — the terms allow up to ten gift cards in a single transaction, so even a large lot consolidates into one order — and the shoes ship to a US door.
Walk that chain backwards and the rate explains itself. The end buyer's discount is the desk's margin, and the desk's margin is your markdown: the gap between face value and your payout splits three ways, into the discount the final shopper takes, the desk's work and risk, and the friction of moving a balance that only spends inside one country. Put those pieces together — this is our read of the chain, not a published formula — and a fair quote is one that leaves each stage its cut and no more.
Why does this card's line sit at ₦810 while other store cards fade below it? Because the product at the end of the chain moves — and that is documented, not guessed. Nigeria's 2018 Nike World Cup shirt drew a reported three million pre-orders and sold out online, and on launch morning dozens queued outside Nike's Oxford Street flagship for a chance at one. A desk buying this card has a fair idea of who takes the credit next and how soon; a card for a brand with thin local demand waits longer, and waiting gets priced into the quote. The board's other shoe card tells the same story in its own shape — our Foot Locker guide maps it.
One level down, the smaller line has the same explanation. Below $100 the rate is ₦700 per dollar because small lots cost more trips through the identical chain — more checkouts per dollar resold, each carrying the same verification work. And the card itself waits well while all this happens: "Gift Cards do not expire, and there are no fees associated with any Gift Cards," per the terms, so a card that sat in a drawer for a year arrives at the chain with its full face.
The check that reads two fields
Nike runs an official balance check, and it reads exactly two things: the 19-digit card number and the 6-digit PIN. The terms point to nike.com/orders/gift-card-lookup, to a phone line — 1-800-806-6453 — and to any Nike-owned store. Enter a wrong pair and the page answers by naming its own two keys: "Please check the gift card number and PIN, and try again." Run the check yourself before you sell, reaching the page from Nike's own site or from our balance-check directory — never from a link someone sends you.
Hold what that pair of fields means. The same number and PIN that read the balance also spend it — at checkout, that pair is how the card applies. Whoever holds the two fields holds the card's full value, whether they only look at the balance or walk it to a cart. So the pair stays out of every conversation until the written figure is settled; a sale never needs you to surrender them early. Verification after acceptance is the desk's work. Your only job before it is the figure.
How the sale runs here
The order is fixed, and every safe sale keeps it. Your first message carries the card's facts — Nike, $100, plastic — and the written quote lands: an exact naira amount for your card. You accept the figure, and only then does the card move: you send the plastic as two photographs, front and back, with the scratch panel coming off after acceptance; a code moves as plain text, its arrival email answering the first question a careful desk asks. Once the card verifies, the transfer goes to whichever Nigerian bank you use. After verification the wait carries a fifteen-minute ceiling — most alerts land well under it.
First sale at this desk? Let a small card pay your tuition. A $25 Nike card earns ₦17,500 and walks the identical exchange from quote to alert, so the $100 card later sells down a route you already know.
The figure before the fields
Your size's figure is one tap away on the calculator; the chat writes that amount down before anything spendable moves. The card number and the PIN never travel before the written figure does.
The caller Nike already warned you about
Nike publishes its own scam page, and it reads like a description of somebody's phone this week. The pattern, in its telling: a stranger reaches you "via phone, email, social media, direct mail, or online," manufactures urgency — "a family emergency or past due bill" — and then "instructs you to provide the gift card number and PIN via phone, text message, or email before disappearing." Nike's rule for that caller is one line: "Treat your gift card like cash. Once card details are shared with a scammer, the funds are usually spent immediately." And the company that warning keeps? None. No US enforcement page or news report we searched names this card as a scam vector — Nike's own page is the whole of the brand-specific literature.
Read Nike's fine print end to end and an awkward fact surfaces. The terms say the card cannot be "resold" or "transferred for value," and the same scam page says the card "should never be used to make payments to other individuals or businesses." The resale market you are about to use exists entirely outside Nike's own rules — Nike built no protection for it and owes you nothing inside it. Which is why the sale's safety has to come from the desk's procedure: a written figure before anything spendable moves.
Two scripts hunt sellers of this card. The flatterer opens with a rate above the card's own face — impossible economics, since the best outcome any buyer can extract is a hundred dollars of product at one store family, and a figure above face pays for your digits with money that doesn't exist. The confirmer asks for the number and the PIN "to check the balance" — you already know that check: it reads the two spendable fields. Nike's page adds a rack rule worth repeating to anyone buying cards as gifts: walk past a card whose PIN shows or whose sleeve looks opened. And if a script has already worked on you, our scam checklist maps the recovery steps.
The wall was never yours to fix — it belongs to the card, and it travels with the card to the next owner. What you own is the order of the sale: amount in writing first, number and PIN after. Sell that way and the wall becomes someone else's problem — one they paid you to take.
Questions, answered
How much is a $100 Nike gift card in naira?
Two lines price the card. A $100 Nike card earns ₦81,000 on the ₦810-per-dollar line that runs from $100 to $500 — so a $500 card pays ₦405,000. Sizes from $10 to $99 rate ₦700 per dollar, so a $50 card pays ₦35,000. The Nike calculator types the exact figure for your size.
Can I use a US Nike gift card in Nigeria?
Not at any till or checkout here. Nike’s terms restrict redemption to Nike.com, Converse.com, select Nike mobile apps and Nike- or Converse-owned stores in the United States and Puerto Rico — and the same terms name the international checkout lane only to close it. From Nigeria, the card’s practical value is what it sells for.
How do I check a Nike gift card balance?
On Nike’s own balance page — nike.com/orders/gift-card-lookup — which reads the 19-digit card number and the 6-digit PIN, or by phone on 1-800-806-6453, or at a Nike-owned store. Run the check yourself and guard those two fields like the money they spend; our balance-check directory keeps the official link for every brand we buy.
Do Nike gift cards expire?
No — Nike’s terms answer in one sentence: “Gift Cards do not expire, and there are no fees associated with any Gift Cards.” A drawer year costs the card nothing. The brand-by-brand rules live in our expiry guide.
Can I use a Nike gift card at Converse?
Yes — the same terms cover Converse.com and Converse-owned stores inside the United States and Puerto Rico. The wall travels with the card, though: no checkout outside those two places takes it, and from Nigeria the resale value is the same either way.
Where can I sell my Nike gift card in Nigeria?
The desk behind this page is one answer — name Nike, the size and the form in the chat, and a written naira figure lands before anything spendable moves. Weighing several desks first? Put each one through the vendor-vetting guide’s checks before it sees a digit.
