Topic: Canadian Gift Cards - Coincards.ca Gift Cards from over 100 Canadian retailers (Read 22151 times)

Just as an update, We have officially launched in the USA with a large selection of gift cards!

Looking forward to bringing the same great service to the USA and further regions

Thanks for the feedback!

My first order experience:
Purchased a $10 Fido mobile top-up via BTC and received the code promptly to my email and redeemed the voucher successfully.
A+

Will definitely use the service again in the future.

Hey Guys!

Coincards.ca has started offering Prepaid Top-ups for all of Canada's mobile carriers at no fee. As always, we only accept Crypto!

If you value your privacy, or maybe have a second prepaid line for your crypto trading then this might make life a bit easier for you!

Feedback welcomed!

I will likely do a purchase or two in the next week or so. Feels like the company could use a few good reviews done up by reputable folks

It does, Thank you for your swift reply

Unfortunately, the promo is over as of mid-December.

Flight Centre gift cards usually come within 2 hours of confirmations complete during business hours as they don't yet take part in our "Quick Delivery" program yet.

Hope this helps!

Is this promo still active?
Looking to purchase some giftcards with BTC.
Has anyone done a Flight Centre card?

We at Coincards.ca have been kind of quiet the last few months as we have been working hard on our latest update.

Just in time for the holiday season, Coincards.ca is proud to offer our new No Fee selection of gift cards.

Through our Premium Partners, Coincards.ca has secured the largest selection of Gift Cards (Approx 80+ at launch) available for Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin and Dash (and more) in Canada at No Fee.

Our Premium Partners have recognized the value of our services and have extended the ability for us to offer their brands cards at No Fee.

As we keep moving forward, bringing on more Premium Partners, we will continue to add more cards to the No Fee selection. We also maintain our offering of an additional 200+ gift cards at the regular 5% fee as we wait for more merchants to join us in our quest for mainstream adoption!

Just purchased $1500 Gift Card. No issues and timely response. Spoke to 'Mike' and he walked me through the process and delivered the Digital Gift Card within 5 minutes.

Will use again and highly recommend.

Have used them now a few times and no problems, great support
and communications. Looking forward to my next purchases!

Hi DaStuff,

Good to know i received the IGA cards.

My point was not to say that i think you stole something, but as a business its not cool to let the client take the loss alone.

I'll order more next time, with protected/tracked mail.

Sure, if you haven't already just go onto Coincards.ca and send us a message. We will contact you with an amount of shipping and an address to send to.

Thanks!

Hey DaStuff,

I just purchased before going out the door this morning and forgot
to use Expresspost, do not want to have any issues. Still think the
transaction is pending confirmations. Can I get it sent via Expresspost
again, can send the additional funds. Service has been great so far
and looking to use again shortly. Great support and service people!

Thanks, Race

I'm sorry you have had a bad experience, however as we had mentioned your envelope was weighed at the time of shipment. This is one of our cross-checks in place to make sure envelopes are heavy enough for the total number of cards required. An empty envelope would have weighed about 10 grams and would have one stamp on it. Your envelope was stamped with 2 stamps which means it was shipped with between 30-50 grams at the time of being weighed. This is in line with shipments of 4-5 gift cards in them. There is again, no possible way that this shipment was sent empty.

As you mentioned above, you did not select a tracked shipment. All letter mail within Canada is untrackable and even Canada Post cannot help with issues of lost mail. This is why we offer the tracked shipping on all cards which can be shipped from our offices.

As mentioned in the ticket as well, our cards are issued to us activated from a central distributor. We do not have the ability to cancel cards and we are not willing to divulge our suppliers nor can we give copies of our business documents such as our invoices. No business would likely produce these documents. We did, however, go above and beyond this by in fact producing a redacted invoice which showed the confirmation of your cards being ordered.

Unfortunately, our site does state that we do not insure our shipments. We are not able to insure gift cards, due to the limitations set by Canada Post, UPS, FedEx etc.

We understand that losing any amount of money is undesirable in any circumstance, however, it is impossible that you were sent an empty invoice. As we mentioned, you might want to follow up with your local depot to see if there is a theft problem with your mail carrier. As the shipments are uninsured, there is not much more we can do once the shipment leaves our offices.

I spent $1,500(in btc) on Coincards.ca.

650 on online amazon.ca which was delivered a couple hours later.
the remaining $850 was to be sent to me by mail. (one order for $500 and a seperate one for $350)

I received an envelope for the $350 with nothing but an invoice, untampered as well.

The customer service is saying that they triple checked before sending out and it is no longer their responsibility.
Yes I'm dumb for not spending a couple extra bucks on tracked shipping but the reviews on here and their site seemed legitimate enough that people were receiving their purchases.

 I'm amazed at the lack of effort in trying to find a resolution for this issue.

There is no proof of purchase that can be traced back to the cards so that i may have some sort of recourse with the card supplier, nothing, nada, ZIP.

Edit: Received the two $250 cards

Hey All,

Wanted to post an update here as we have had a crazy busy couple of months with some seriously exciting upgrades in place.

First off, We completely overhauled and redesigned our website. We think its easier to navigate and allows us to make more customizations which allow for a better overall experience for the customer.

We recently upgraded our payment system to include SEGWIT addresses. So now when you purchase from us, you are sending to a segwit address which will help reduce network fees.

We also implemented Litecoin as a direct method of payment. No Third party processors.


We are continuously making improvements and love all feedback as well. So feel free to checkout the new https://coincards.ca or send me a message here. Cheers!

Hey thanks, going to try your service today, spent approx $1300.00
I will post up the results in the forum to help move your thread along.
If everything works out will be using all the time moving forward!
Delivery is to Toronto and think your out West so using Express post will be fastest.
Have a great day.
Regards, Greg

Looking forward to ordering in Jan the new year, will you have more cards in stock?
Great selection of cards, will have have more grocery cards like Metro, Loblaws etc

It really depends on what you are purchasing as this varies greatly on vendors. Its best to keep this type of question in our support channels so we can better keep dialogue with you and not clogup this thread:  https://coincards.ca/Contact-Us

Interesting will bookmark you for future purchasing if the prices work out, like to support a Canadian using bitcoin.

If I buy a 5x$100 physial card right now, how long will it takes to come to my mail box?

Can you please let me know in a PM what email address you used to contact our support?

We respond to every single ticket we receive and our support queue is currently empty, so there is a good chance we responded but your email provider sent it to the spam folder.

As for PSN cards, we have had supply issues with these but are doing our best to process them as quickly as possible.


As mentioned above, we have been in business for 3+ years. During the week we have multiple full time staff to process orders within 2 hours, however during evenings and weekends our processing times are delayed and we do not process orders through the night. Physical cards do have delays, and may take 5-10 business days to ship out simply because we have such a high volume of orders right now.

Glad to see you got your card, and would really like to track down your ticket so please pm me your email address.

 We knew you'd get it.  Not sure why it took 24 hours - did you get a response from the help desk about that?

Finally after 24 hours! I recieve my gift card. This order was just a test, people got their gift card within 5 hours and I recieve it with in 24 hours, SHAMED! I was just gonna spend ($1000-$5000) On coincards.ca on physical card, but when I think it that way I might get it within a month and other people got it within 2 weeks.

Well I won't say this website is not a scam unless I recieve my giftcard I ordered. Any proof that this site is legit?

 Yeah no worries; your location is safe with me.  Nice house by the way - court lots are awesome.

No, it's this transaction:

https://blockchain.info/tx/1dca91b3ca21a354bb596779bada726a6259d74cf29af879d007d3e593f9307d

This bulk transaction appears to be from an exchange and it might have caused an issue with coincard's automated system but I can't speak for them because I have no affiliation with them.  I'm sure you will get your voucher though!

Omfg. You literally JUST got a 7th confirmation. Freaking L2bitcoin. That's all I can say. A legitimate business isn't a scam just because you can't send a high enough miner fee ffs.

Sorry there, just deleted that message I posted. Thanks for the heads up.
I send the bitcoin to : 1PMRqDmoXF5BAYDNn1x4T2FGjJfBk2KrEM
I send : 0.00389351 BTC
Sreen shot proof : http://www.screenleap.com/screenshots/1506828112006/76873

  You should delete that image because it has too much personal information on it (your IP address is showing).  What I was looking for was the Bitcoin transaction ID.  I wanted to see if the coins you send were received by coincard yet and from this image you posted, it seems they were not.   You aren't going to get a gift card from them until they have received your coins. I have dealt with these guys and they are not scammers!  Has your Bitcoin transaction been confirmed yet?!

Lol you maybe just jumped the gun just a teenie tiny bit there right? You do understand that this is a 3+ year old business? If the service is slow that's one thing, but this site is not a scam.

 Did you attach a high enough fee for the TX to go through quickly?
Would you show us the txid for proof of the accusation please?

What a Scam!! SCAM ALEART!
I just purchase $20 playstation network card this morning.
I contacted the support, but no response.
I already waited 9 hours! I haven't recieve a thing or get a reply from their support.
I will update if anything happens.

Awesome service! Can't lie, I was kinda sceptical, but I got the BestBuy e-gift card I was looking for in under 2 hours. I will certainly use again in the future.

Great customer service, fast delivery of physical cards.

Highly recommended to Canadians who want to utilize their Bitcoin.

newegg.ca and ncix cards are a huge bonus.

Thanks!

Amazing website. Playstation cards. E delivery. A little slow but worth the wait. Don't need to say more. Love u guys

Hey there,

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a gift card option for the family terms. We are sending a gift code, which I am not sure can be used as a balance to pay off the family subscription of if it strictly is for 1 year of individual premium.

I'll try to contact Spotify and answer this though.

*UPDATE*:

Gift cards cannot be used for Family Subscriptions. Official Response from Spotify:
"It currently isn't possible to use gift cards on Premium for Family subscriptions. We also don't have any news about a gift card for the Premium for Family subscription, but we'll make sure to let the right team know it's something you'd like to see. Give us a shout if you have other questions."



Thanks!

Do you sell the Spotify 'Premium for family'? I'm only seeing the "120/year" which I believe is only the premium for 1 user.

https://coincards.ca/spotify-electronic-gift-card?search=spotify&description=true

Thank you!

Very nice site and good team. It will be very successfull project. If you need any assist about Turkey Companies or any related issued, please don't hesitate to contact with me.

I wish you great success.

Do you have a provision to top up existing Tim Horton's physical gift cards?

Thank You from Canada’s Bitcoin to Gift Card Exchange Service!

Just a little bump,

During the month of March, we will be giving away 6 Ledger Wallets to Customers and on Facebook. For more details check our blog here:
https://medium.com/coincards-ca/win-one-of-6-ledger-hardware-wallets-from-coincards-ca-46f4cffa0e2#.fmi7nwmli

Thanks!

Ive placed many orders on coincards in the past few months it's a great service and i hope they keep it up

Hey Everyone,

I'd like to thank everyone at bitcointalk for their continued support of our services! We just passed a couple significant milestones including 2000 completed orders, 5000 gift cards sent, and over $565,000 worth of bitcoin exchanged for gift cards.

To celebrate, we are holding a contest through the month of November. All orders made in November will be entered into our draw for a grand prize of a $1000 gift card of the winners choosing.

Only two weeks left so get your orders in soon!

For more information, checkout Coincards.ca or our blog post on Medium.

Update:

We have overhauled our "Guest Checkout" system to only need an email for digital delivery gift cards. We hope this not only makes it easier to use our service, but also helps customers feel safer as they are no longer required to enter personal information when purchasing.

*Gift Cards which require shipping will still need a shipping address, for obvious reasons

We talked via email, however I thought I would reply so others may see as well

We do not verify information as its not needed with bitcoin. Therefore users may enter as much, as little or as accurate of information as they feel they are willing to. We will look into reinstating an "only email needed" guest checkout in the short future as this was removed when we redesigned our site earlier this year.

Hope this helps all future buyers!

Is it necessary to sign up for an account to order a gift card which will be delivered via e-mail?  I'm interested in buying an iTunes card (say $50 worth) for a relative in Canada and obviously paying with Bitcoin but I don't really want to give my personal information to do so.  I don't see an option on your site to allow me to do this.  Is it because the iTunes card defaults to physical delivery?

 Merci.

Do you need any more gift cards. I have access to 180 different retailers cards.

Ikea Gift cards are now available!

We have also implemented optional tracking on some of our cards. If your card is eligible than you will be presented an option for shipping on checkout!

Thanks for the Feedback. We are trying to work on fee reduction for 2016, its one of our main goals for this year. Unfortunately after our current expenses, this is the bottom line we can offer on purchases and still be able to operate.

Hopefully we are able to reduce or eliminate fees on most cards within the next few months.

Thanks!

Forum readers,
  Coincards.ca is legit.  I've had several successful orders now (with an aggregate total of > 5000$ CDN ) all without issues.  So happy with the service so far.
The 5% fee is a bit hard to swallow but converting bitcoin into cash-in-hand through other means, is likely going to be just as painful.

Coincards.ca,
   It would be good to see a capped fee structure or a graded fee structure.   For example if I buy 500$ gift card the fees should be less if I were to 5 times separately order $100 gift cards.  Or if we buy $1000 gift card there should be a lesser fee than smaller orders -  3% fee (for example).   I'd probably use the service more often, if there was a more favourable fee structure.   Oh and visa gift cards would be awesome if you could somehow manage to pull that off in Canada.   

Feel free to search Twitter for our name Coincards.ca you will find some of our customers who have completed purchases. We are also active on Coinforum.ca and are active in the Vancouver bitcoin community.

If you're still unsure, start with a smaller amount to see how our process works.

Thanks for your consideration!

Ill try your service soon, hope you are legit !! BTW, do you charge fees for your service ?

Major Updates for 2016!

We started with a new Logo, some of you got to bring some input which we much appreciate.

Next we decided since we have a new logo, we need to revamp our website and ended up completely rebuilding this weekend. Brand new for 2016 Coincards.ca has a new look for the new year.

Finally I wanted to thank everyone from Coinforum who supported us throughout the year. We had a great year in 2015 and with the support of the Canadian bitcoin community we foresee an even better 2016!

Come visit us - www.coincards.ca

Cheers!

Thank you so much for the quick response.

I received my purchase!

They require 6 confirmations and everything is done manually. Email delivery isn't instant like some other services.
Support was quick to respond to my concerns and processed the order very quickly.

They have a great selection of Canadian gift cards and I will be using their service again.

These guys are legit and here is my proof of delivery.

http://i.imgur.com/KFPb7wz.png

Remember if you aren't sure about something try the service with a small amount before going all in.

Our process is a manual process and requires time to process. We also require 6 confirmations to avoid double spending. Please be patient and you will have your order within the hour.


Thank you.

I should have tried with a small amount before sending $250 worth of BTC.

They don't have instant delivery like some other gift-cards for btc sites.

I have received a quick reply from them ensuring that I will receive my order, below and in my email.

I will post proof of delivery upon receiving my purchase.

Ikea will probably be the next card we offer, however it will come with a shipping fee (Their fee not ours). We have tried to stick with vendors which we can keep with as low cost as possible, however Ikea is one of the most requested so I will be expediting this one.

PM me your thoughts on the marketing, we are currently looking at building some sort of referral program.

Yes, I love Ikea! I want Ikea too! Ikea + Bitcoin = love.

Besides that, would you want some help with marketing your website?

Just a friendly bump.

Xmas is coming, What better gift to give than Gift cards bought with Bitcoins?

We have over 100 retailers to choose from with Free Shipping and will be adding more vendors soon!

A++++ For Coincards.ca
I know I am new to the forums but I've ordered over $1,500 worth of cards from Mike @ Coincards and haven't had a hiccup yet.
Thanks again and hope to order more in the future.

Gift Cards I'd like to see:

Ikea
Sobeys
Ikea
Sportschek(physical)
Ikea

Ummm Ikea!

We are getting more and more people to use our services. If any of you out there on this board have used us, we would definitely appreciate the feedback so that we can build a higher trust factor and ultimately grow our services!

Thanks for the feedback. I would love to get to a Gyft level, however I think the infrastructure in Canada's card networks is not quite there yet. Will keep working on it though

Spent about $400 now on mostly electronic cards. Still waiting on the physical cards but I'm satisfied with the service. For e-cards, hopefully it will be as fast as gyft someday.

I usually try to get the orders out within the hour if I am at my desk, however I was out for a few hours today. If you still haven't received your order please feel free to email me, [email protected] and I will look into it ASAP however the last order of the day was processed at about 9:30PM PST.

Thanks for using our service!

So how long does electronics gift cards take to process? I ordered (and paid) a few hours ago and still nothing.

I'd have to think about this, gift card may take a week to deliver at which point when the btc is released the pricing volatility may create a loss on exchanging the BTC to fiat in order to cover my costs of the card. It could also produce a gain however I am not sure I want to take that risk at the moment.

PM me with your details, and we can talk more.



To anyone else who has used my service, I would appreciate if you could post your replies stating how it went so i can start earning some reputation!

Interested in buying a Sportchek gift card of a big amount. Do you think we can use escrow on this site, just for my own convenience?

Hello All,

I just thought I'd let everyone know that we now have Save-on-Foods[1] and Clancy's Meat Co.[2] gift cards available on top of the 100+ other gift cards already available.

This addition now allows anyone with a Save-On-Foods or Clancy's to be able to buy groceries with their bitcoins! We will continue to offer more selection as we continue to grow and as always are open to more suggestions for other gift cards you would like to see!

Thanks, Coincards.ca

Hey guys, Another update for today!

I have added 4 Gasoline chains into our card offerings! We all know Gas is expensive, and a huge part of all our lives if we own a car. Now you can trade bitcoins for Gas cards at:

• Shell
• PetroCanada
• Chevron
• Husky

Let me know if you have anymore suggestions or comments!

We have added the following companies to our offerings:

Domino's Pizza - Pizza and bitcoin go so well together.
Cactus Club
Molly Maid - Yes even get your house cleaned now with bitcoins!
SPUD.ca - Offers Sustainable and Organic Foods delivered within the Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary and Edmonton Areas.

Well you covered literally all the major stores I would buy from, which is amazing. All you need is some advertising now...

If you or anyone from Eastern Canada could come up with a list of chains I will look into them.

Unfortunately Pizza Pizza, Panago and Pizza hut don't offer gift cards without actually picking them up in store. I found out Dominos will so I have added them, but it comes with a Min. Order to cover shipping costs.

I'd actually like to see Pizza Pizza or any good Pizza place on there.

We've had a few buyers so if anyone from this site has used the cards, feedback would be appreciated

Also, if there any requests for retailers, we would definately love to look into expanding our selection!

I want to see someone buy it and confirm they got it, because if this is not another boring scam I will be all over it.

Thanks for the kind words!

If anyone wants to confirm I am legit, I will be at the Vancouver bitcoin meetup tonight at Decentral.Bangtown. Hopefully someone with a bit of posting rep here can verify for me

I LOVE YOU. I have been looking for something like this for a very long time. I live in Canada and can make full use of it. They have everything I want.

Just hoping it isn't a scam in any way, can someone try out a small amount and confirm it works?

We purchase directly from the vendor as soon as the order is placed with us. The cards are 100% legit directly from the retailers. Most "Electronic" cards will be sent within a few hours of purchase.

Our service is to facilitate this transaction while keeping our customers anonymous. We also will be using our sales volumes to send emails to the retailers saying "Hey, we took # amount of orders for your store this month. Maybe you should take bitcoins."

Any questions or requests, let us know.

Unfortunately we are unable to find any Major Grocery, or Gasoline cards which fit within our business model at the time but those are definitely ones we would like to add!

Very interested in your site!!!  May I ask how the gift cards were obtained?  And also, great to see a Canadian business accept bitcoin 

Hello Everyone!

We have just launched CoinCards.ca, a site dedicated to bringing merchant adoption in Canada through gift card sales.

We offer Gift Cards sent directly to you or your family by Mail/Courier when possible or Anonymously through Email. We have worked hard to have as many options as possible and will be working to add more vendors in the future.

Some of the big name vendors we can offer include:

• Costco
• Canadian Tire
• Cineplex
• ToysRus
• Best Buy
• Future Shop
• Home Depot
• NCIX.ca
• Memory Express

Coincards.ca was created to help Canadians spend their bitcoins at Major Canadian retailers through purchasing prepaid giftcards. We strive to have the best selection available while pushing the bitcoin economy.
Our ultimate goal is to show retailers that their customers are interested in spending bitcoins in their stores and hopefully we will be able to convince retailers that bitcoin is a viable currency and one they should consider accepting. We dream of a world where digital currencies can be used at all retailers across the world.

We work on a 5% Fee basis, which is added at the time of checkout. The 5% fee will be used to push adoption and will not be converted to FIAT but pushed back into the bitcoin community. The only FIAT conversions we will do will be to cover the cost of the cards.

We are open to suggestions for new vendors and would love the feedback of the community!
