Carquest Auto Parts is offering a $20 gift card for each automotive and light truck battery that are brought in. Their December, 2017 ad has the details and restrictions.
If you have a Carquest Auto Parts location near you, you may want to consider this offer. Good for month of December, 2017 only.
Disclaimer: I do not work at a Carquest Auto Parts location.

I'll have to check how many they will let me turn in. I have 3 pallets of them. May have to do some driving this weekend, have a more than a few in driving distance

Thanks for the heads up.
Nearest car quest is a ways away but if they will take 20 batteries for a new hub it would be worth the drive.

When ever we had half a pallet load of battery's, Interstate would send a truck to pick them up and pay cash.
Battery's are at a premium right now.

Update: I contacted my closest Carquest. That outlet is independently owned and does not accept batteries. They said the corporate owned Carquest outlets will accept the batteries. I will have to keep calling more Carquest stores to see who participates.
Also, Advanced Auto Parts somehow merged(?) with Carquest. I am going to call the Advanced Auto Parts outlets to see if they will accept them.
Anyway, call around before taking the batteries to Carquest and/or Advanced Auto Parts to see if they will accept them and how many.

Gift certs are great for retail, especially year-end Q4. Something like half of them never get fully used and even when they are, you are just trading off inventory instead of actually paying out, as in this case. It also gets people to come in and buy stuff in excess of the card's value.
