You are probably aware that most online retailers and physical stores don’t accept cryptocurrency as a payment option. So transforming bitcoin to gift cards has become the most popular option to shop with bitcoin or other crypto. In this post we will explain how easy it is to buy gift cards with bitcoin. We will guide you step by step on how to buy the most popular brand’s vouchers, including Amazon, Google Play and many more using your crypto.
About gift cards
A giftcard (better spelled separately), Gift card is also known as gift certificate, or voucher. It is a prepaid stored-value money card that is issued by a retailer or a brand. So it can be used as an alternative to cash and other payment methods. For example, if you have a 200 dollar Amazon gift card, you can buy up to 200 dollars worth of products at their store by redeeming the gift card instead of paying in cash.
Depending on the type of retailer and their policies, gift cards can be redeemed online on the retailer’s website and/or directly at the store. Gift cards used online typically have a unique code to be inserted on the retailer’s ecommerce site. Instead, gift cards to be used at the retailers store generally contain a barcode that will be scanned by the cashier.
If you are concerned with privacy, remember that gift cards are anonymous. They are not in your name. Not only, as the name suggests, you can use them for your own purchases, or give them as a gift. So if you are considering to buy gift cards with bitcoin, it is a great idea for a present to a friend or loved one 🙂
