Which has the better buyback?

Arena Club wins on buyback: Arena Club states 90% cash; Packz publishes no rate.

Packz: There's no published buyback percentage. Sale proceeds go to a withdrawable balance. At 'fair market value'; no percentage is published. Cards are automatically sold back after 72 hours unless you ship them.

Arena Club: A stated 90% buyback is paid to a balance you can withdraw. 100% of Arena Club's estimated value minus a 10% fee, available for 24 hours after the reveal. Paid to a wallet you can withdraw via Stripe. Worked example: $100 × 0.90 = $90 on a card valued at $100, paid to a balance you can withdraw.

Payouts and shipping

Packz: Says: RTP, Venmo and PayPal in 30–60 minutes; ACH 2–3 business days (after approval). Users report: Within about 30 minutes after ID verification (App Store reviews; count unclear). Multiple Trustpilot reports of repeated ID-check attempts (Aug 2026). Shipping, as stated: Ships within 3 business days of a confirmed request. Shipping reports: About 2 weeks against a 1-week estimate (1 App Store report).

Arena Club: No stated payout time. Users report: 1 report (Aug 2026) of a sale payout still pending after 4 days, against a promised 1–3 business days. Shipping reports: No duration reports. 4 international buyers (Jul–Sep 2026) say shipping and duties cost more than the card was worth.

Which do users rate higher?

Arena Club wins on user ratings: 3.2★ (17K ratings, 2 sources) vs 3.5★ (8.3K ratings, 3 sources); rating caution on Packz.

Caution on Packz: 4.7 on the App Store but 1.7 on Trustpilot; in-app rating prompts may lift the App Store score. A rating caution lowers the Reputation score in our formula.

Packz: 3.2★ average across 2 review sources. The widest gap in our research: 4.7 stars from about 17,000 App Store ratings, but 1.7 on an unclaimed Trustpilot profile. In-app rating prompts may lift the App Store score. Trustpilot complaints center on 'risk-free' promos that refund losses as bonus funds you can't withdraw, repeated ID and selfie checks at withdrawal, and shipping add-ons. App Store reviewers praise Apple Pay deposits and fast withdrawals.

Arena Club: 3.5★ average across 3 review sources. App ratings are solid, with praise for the interface, the showroom and support. Trustpilot is very negative (85% 1-star) but small and skewed toward buyers outside the US, whose main complaint is shipping and import duties that cost more than the card. Reviewers on both platforms say Slab Packs lose money over time.
