[LIST] Giftcard providers

You can buy giftcards and many items at Paxful with more than 350 payment methods and Coinsbee or Cryptwerk

Cryptwerk - Directory of merchants accepting crypto as payment

I'm not sure about eBay but I did that with Amazon U.S a couple of years ago and never had any problems, not sure if their policies changed now.

If you're in the EU, you can also deposit Bitcoin to Bitpanda and sell it for euros, and request the withdrawal in Amazon.de vouchers. It's not exactly the same as buying a gift card, but it is a way to feed your Amazon spending habit with crypto =) Also a tad cheaper than bank withdrawal (despite the not-so-good exchange rate).

Edit: This is no longer true, thanks pixie85 for the note.

There is a good amount of demand, even for a small fraction of the Amazon userbase. I trade decentrally often, and see multiple offers for Amazon gift cards. People buy stuff from amazon with bitcoin already, but: more expensively. Since Amazon themselves don't accept it, sellers will have to acquire gift cards and sell it with a profit obviously. There's less competition either way, and hence is charged higher than it needs to.

The reason isn't little demand. Adding another payment option (which won't be mandatory for every Amazon seller) isn't going to harm their pocket. It's regulatory problems unfortunately...

There are so many options for you to buy gift cards using bitcoin or cryptocurrency and one of these are:

1. Coingate
2. Coinsbee
3. Bitrefill
4. eGifter

But you can also try amazon as well, because as far as I know they also accepting bitcoin as option payment
to their platform.

Oh that sounds a bit difficult for me, but so far I only know about seven big companies that already accept Bitcoin for their payment services with different conditions and you can also try it if there are things you want to buy through them. Because they are a company that is well known in this world and also provides goods that are often used by everyone in this world.

• Amazon
• Paypal
• Microsoft
• Overstock
• Namecheap
• Apple
• Starbucks

The word is inertia. I remember back in the day when food stores did not take credit cards, just cash and check.
I also remember when a lot of businesses did not take CC in general.
Over time the number grew and then over a couple of years it snowballed into everyone taking credit cards.

But remember, we are talking DECADES of time. At the current time that BTC has been in existence considering the fight banks & governments are putting up against it, I think the acceptance level is fairly good.

Damn, has it been that long? Looks like you're right after all, just checked. And edited my post.

I also see now they've completely revamped the site and my current (maximum) level of verification has also been brought back to the lowest level.

Times are a-changing.

This is utter BS. I'm using AliExpress now and then and the currency I'm using with is Euro. Internally, AliExpress is certainly working with something else - I don't know if it's USD or CNY or another - however, when it has happened (not too often, ut still...) that I didn't receive the ordered product and asked for refund, the amount was a bit different (usually a few cents in any direction!!) which is 100% caused by fiat forex volatility (especially as it takes about 2-3 months from ordering to asking for refund).
They can easily do the same with bitcoin too and nobody will complain/ people will understand that their base currency is fiat and the amounts of BTC may differ.

A better explanation is that AliExpress being a Chinese company... is following China's rules on Bitcoin (ie. ban).


This is pretty much the best list I've got for my country, but for me, only 2 gift cards from there are somewhat useful. Not much.
