Topic: [List] Gift cards providers - page 14. (Read 7694 times)

I didn't know how they could handle it, I didn't ask for support because it was quite annoying  Just $10, so I ignore it. But it would be surprising if it was not legal. Because it is one of the most popular online payment applications here and very reputable. I thought it was an Amazon problem, because they didn't give me an item to appeal. Usually, if the gift card is dirty, they will ask the user to send an invoice or proof to prove the legal, in this case it is not 

AFAIK, that means that the gift card was not obtained legitimately. Can't you ask the app's support for the source of their cards?

Update (from Bidali's newsletter):

- More than 300 brands have been added (Turkey, India, Germany, France, and a few other countries).
- Reduced confirmation times (I'm not sure how much they used to be).
- You can now pay using HUSD (Huobi's stablecoin).

I never had any issues with Amazon gift cards so far, but I am also not creating new accounts. In addition to that all Bitrefill gift cards worked fine for me so far. The only issue I had, was that IKEA gift cards need 24h to get active (the support told me it's some kind of IKEA policy).

Other than that, I didn't buy it from Bitrefill, I got it from a payment app, it's like promotion. I used that payment service many times, I had enough points to earn $ 10  It took a long time  I want to mention that Amazon did not allow me to appeal to unlock accounts or recover money  they just said it was a suspicious act, and they rejected it  groundless, without appeal, looks like a scam  I wonder what people will do with larger amounts 

It's something happening frequently with Amazon, I even remember a topic not long ago with the same problem as you with Bitrefill. Try to contact Bitrefill to explain, the guy was able to recover his account and gift card after doing it.

A similar story happened to me too after using a Visa gift card, they were dumb enough to ask me a bank statement from the previous month and showing the card numbers

Do you have any problem using a gift card? Last week, I received a gift card through an offer, for only $ 10, I received the gift card code through my mail. It is an amazon gift card, I create a new account, then use it. The problem is that my account was banned immediately upon making an order  It was strange. I did not even have a chance to appeal. Usually, I will be asked to send proof to prove it is my gift card. But no, they just said that my account was banned due to suspicious activity and didn't have any items to appeal  I ignored it because it was only 10 dollars. What do you think of the gift card from the offer? Isn't it good?

Thanks for the information. I contacted the Bitrefill Telegram support yesterday and they told me they are working on the "out-of-stock" issue. I checked the Bitrefill website today again and the gift cards were back in stock. That's good customer service.  

In addition to that, I really like the new "Bitrefill Rewards" feature. I got some nice cash-back today and used it on my second gift card. 

From what I can see, it's not only Germany, but almost all european countries.  For nike (or clothing brands in general), take a look at ASOS, you can ship worldwide for cheap. The card on Bitrefill says UK, but it should work everywhere.

Also, Bitrefill reprensetative is not really active here on the forum, so I'd suggest reaching out to the support, you'll get a faster answer.

Do you guys have any idea why most gift cards for Germany are currently out of stock (e.g. IKEA, Nike, Saturn, Cyberport, Cineplex, Decathlon and many more)? I wanted to do some online shopping today, but unfortunately the gift cards I were looking for, were all out of stock.

Any information when those will be available again (especially IKEA, Saturn and Cyberport) @bitrefill?  

Ahaa, meaning they allow one person to own multiple accounts. And you can buy the game with a different account, as long as you install the game on the same device, you can use any other account to play. Interesting   A good opportunity to use their gift cards even in different areas   thank you!

I can confirm this. You can make a new USA account on the same device ( i have one).
Once your USA account has PSN Plus registered you can use PSN Plus benefits (such as online playing and free games) in your main account from other region as long as both accounts are logged in in the same device.

However, all free games will be linked to your USA account, not in your main account.

Promotions:

- Bitrefill: 30% off for PlayStation Plus (12Months)
- Coinsbee: A huge discount for Orange's phone recharge (France only)

I'm not that familiar with PSN but I'm pretty sure this is not something they missed.


I will add it to the OP, thanks!

Yeah. You can see their list of cards here: https://www.coinpayments.net/swych. So far it is US and UK only. For the US at least they have a decent list of cards available, but they are all the same ones that you can find on Bitrefill, eGifter, Coincards, etc.

However, to buy cards from them you need to have a KYC verified account. Given that all the cards (I think) they provide are purchasable from other providers without KYC, there is no real reason to use them unless you already have a KYC verified account on their platform for other reasons.

Since I don't have an account with them I can't see the prices they are charging, and therefore their markup.

I just noticed that "CoinPayments" has the option of selling gift cards to its users...
^{- Since it wasn't launched recently, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of purchasing gift cards there?}

Wow, it really is a great solution to use these gift cards   I am considering to use it in the future  
But the way other game providers work, purchased games are only available on the accounts that bought it, we can't use them with other accounts. But in the link you provided, they said we can switch to the original account, how is it available? It was not checked?  

According to this, you can't change your region but it should be possible to redeem the cards if you just make a new account.

Does anyone have experience using the Playstation Gift Card? To be honest, I haven't had the chance to use it in different region yet. Playstation limits usage region for gift cards (as i know). If we change regions, can we use Gift cards from other regions? Like the way described above of OmegaStarscream, is it available with the Playstation? I need to use it and I think I need your opinion before doing something stupid 

I suggested asking a friend/relative as I don't think that making a new account yourself would help... Because apparently, it's possible to change your location to another country if you have a payment method from that same country and with such a restriction, I doubt they would just allow you to make a new account to redeem GCs without verifying your location by linking a credit card but yes, I agree, I don't think its worth it if you can easily change your BTC to fiat.


DM them on Twitter, they are very responsive.

I can try with no guarantees and I will probably just lose money, buying a useless gift card which cannot be redeemed in my country.



Those gift cards are not even region locked LOL. They are not even stated to be region locked.

Google Pay for example use this region lock functionality in the google accounts themselves. I see different apps in my Play Store than you, with different prices.


You can change the region of a google account a lose much more than what you would possible  save. I wouldn't be to install local apps, such as bike rentals, local stores that gives discounts, and so on. I have tried it already.

I don't want to delete my spotify account and create a new one to pay 3usd per month. Not worth the effort.
A netflix account from another region would change its language. I would have to watch movies without subtitles , permanently use a VPN...

You think that's is a smart solution, but the solution would cause bigger problems than the original problem.




You don't see difficult in the problem because you don't have it, probably because you live in a rich country which is much more free than Brazil.

The reason why region locks exists is that those gift cards are usually much more expensive here, due to taxes and fees.

But I would like to hear what @bitrefill have to say about 15-40% extra price in bitcoin in Brazil. Probably it is due to taxes and fees also, but maybe they are just ignoring Brazil?

Not really, many gift cards still work in every region of the world. Although they state that gift cards only work in some areas, in fact, if you try it still works in other areas. I can take Steam and Google Play for example. You can use it anywhere  For a few others, you can change the region to use. I don't see much difficulty in the problem you are describing. Anyway, it is your problem, OmegaStarScream is only showing you a way to do it.
