To someone else or yes, another store for someone else. I will not be using that credit anytime soon, so I am just trying to get ideas of can one do in situations like these.
I definitely would, if I had my eye on something. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
I had a $3500 credit due to a return in February 2017. I didn’t have my eye on anything for the longest time either, so the credit sat there. There was definitely no option for me to turn this into cash; however, I never asked if it could be transferred to someone else. I ended up using it on an SO Birkin in August 2019.
I would advise to wait and hold onto the credit until there is something you like. It’s bound to happen at some point, no?

Hold on to your credit as the new collection is starting to come in.If you don't see something now for spring/summer
perhaps fall winter. Just be patient. Something will turn up perhaps sooner than you expect.

Ive seen offers like this a few times on Craigslist or FB marketplace. FB would be a safer place to try that imo.
Agree.. It becomes quite complicated for both parties involved.
I'd just hold on to that credit & perhaps use it for a gift or towards a future purchase
Thank you all for the responses! I have been sitting on this credit for a year now and I am a little discouraged that I don’t have nothing on my radar to use it on and would love to free up those funds. I am newer to Hermes (and entry level!) so with this, i also have questioned if Hermes is for me 
Honestly, I hate having store credit. If a store has a “return for exchange only” policy I think five times as much even when buying things I know I want to keep (I’m not much of a returner). And maybe you’re like me too, because if I have credit I can’t seem to like ANYTHING in that store whereas in stores where they let me return for cash, I often end up just picking something else on the same return trip.Thank you all for the responses!

As somebody else said on this thread, as with many other things, doesn’t surprise that Hermes makes this more difficult too. BUT if you’re trying to buy someone a gift (and not just sell the credit), you could go with them to the store.
Otherwise, depending on the amount, there’s a high chance you can buy something that you can sell right away for little to no loss.
I am exactly just like you and this has for sure been a lesson learned when it comes to store credit only policies! I am taking note of all these suggestions and hopefully I’ll find what works best!
