What moves gift card rates?

Rates aren't arbitrary — they track supply and demand like any market. Around December, e-commerce activity spikes as businesses and shoppers stock up for the holidays, which pushes gift card demand — and rates — higher. Gaming cards in particular, like Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox, tend to climb during this period as more people are home and playing.

Once the holiday rush passes, demand cools off in January and February, and rates typically dip back down as the market resets.

Beyond seasonality, individual card rates move based on how easily that card can be redeemed, current buyer appetite for that brand, and broader currency conditions. Hook's calculator reflects all of that automatically — no manual updates, no guesswork.
