🛒Buying gift cards
Choosing a card, paying with crypto and getting your code.
How do I buy a gift card with crypto?
Pick a brand and value, add it to your cart and check out. Choose the coin you want to pay with — the invoice shows the exact amount and a wallet address or QR code. Send the payment from any wallet or exchange; once the network confirms it, the code is e-mailed to you and appears under My Purchases. Most orders complete in about a minute.
Which cryptocurrencies can I pay with?
Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT (Tron, Ethereum, BNB Chain and more), USDC, Solana, XRP, BNB, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash, TRON, Gram (TON), Polygon, Avalanche and more — on 14 networks. Stablecoins on Tron (USDT-TRC20) are the cheapest and fastest for most people.
How much discount do I get?
Every card is priced below its face value — the bigger the card, the bigger the discount, and your exact price is shown before you pay, with no code to type. During November Mega Carnival 2026, $250+ cards are up to 15% off until 30 November 2026.
Do I need a promo code?
No. The discount is already in every price — there is no code to type at checkout. November Mega Carnival 2026 runs until 30 November 2026: up to 25% off every $250+ gift card — see https://giftbycrypto.com/deals/november-mega-carnival-gift-cards.
Do I need an account to buy?
No — you can check out as a guest with just an e-mail address. An account lets you see your purchase history, re-download codes, earn referral credit, keep a wallet balance and get the $10 welcome credit.
Can I buy a card for someone else?
Yes. Codes are delivered to the e-mail address on the order; you can forward the code to the recipient or enter their e-mail at checkout. Please make sure the card's region matches where the recipient will redeem it.
What is the card region and why does it matter?
Gift cards are tied to a country or store region (for example Amazon US vs Amazon India). A card can only be redeemed on an account registered in that region. The region is shown on every product page — double-check it before you pay.
Is there a minimum or maximum order?
Minimums are set by the crypto network you pay with (small amounts may not cover network fees). There is no fixed maximum, but large or unusual orders may be held for a quick manual check to protect against fraud.
My payment was sent but the order still says pending
Blockchain confirmations take a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the coin. If the order is still pending 30 minutes after your wallet shows the transaction as confirmed, open a ticket with the order number (GBC-…) and the transaction ID — we will locate the payment and release the code.
I sent the wrong amount
Underpayments: send the missing difference to the same address before the payment window closes, or the amount you paid is credited to your wallet. Overpayments: the excess is credited to your wallet automatically and can be spent or withdrawn.
⚡Delivery & redeeming
Where your code goes and how to use it.
How fast is delivery?
Codes are delivered by e-mail — and shown under My Purchases — as soon as the network confirms your payment. The average delivery time is well under a minute. Cards fulfilled from partner stock can occasionally take a few minutes longer.
I did not receive my code
First check spam and promotions folders and confirm the e-mail address on the order. Then open My Purchases — every delivered code is stored there too. Still nothing? Raise a ticket with your order number and we will resend or resolve it right away.
How do I redeem the code?
Go to the brand's website or app, open the gift card / redeem section, and enter the code. Each product page carries brand-specific redemption steps and the region to use. Never share the code with anyone claiming to "verify" it.
The code does not work
Report it from My Purchases → Problem with this code within 24 hours of delivery, describing what the brand's site said. Every card is balance-verified before sale, so if a code is invalid, already redeemed or short on balance you get a replacement or a full refund to your wallet.
Do codes expire?
Most brand gift cards have no expiry; some carry an expiry printed on the product page. Redeem promptly and keep your codes private — an unredeemed code is like cash.
💳Selling your gift cards
Turn unused cards into crypto.
How does selling work?
Go to Sell, pick the brand, enter the card value and code (and PIN if any) and submit. We verify the balance with the brand within 4–6 hours and credit your wallet. From there you withdraw the earnings in crypto to your own wallet (24 hours after crediting, identity verified) or spend them on any gift card.
What fee do you charge?
A flat deduction by card type: 2 % on e-money cards (paysafecard, Neosurf, Flexepin and similar), 10 % on gaming cards (Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Razer Gold, Roblox …) and 5 % on everything else (Amazon, Google Play, Apple, Walmart …). No listing fee, no hidden charges — the payout shown before you submit is what lands in your wallet.
Which brands can I sell?
Hundreds of brands across 185+ countries — Amazon, Apple, Google Play, Steam, PlayStation, Walmart, Target, Netflix, Uber and many more. The Sell page lists every brand we currently buy and the payout rate for each.
How and when am I paid?
We verify the balance within 4–6 hours and credit your wallet. Earnings stay in a 24-hour cooling period after crediting; then you withdraw them in crypto — any of our coins, to a wallet you control, identity verified once — or spend them on any gift card at any time.
Can I sell a partially used card?
Yes, if the remaining balance is accurate. Enter the current balance — we verify it and pay on the verified amount. Cards found empty or short are declined and the seller's account is reviewed.
What happens if a buyer reports my card?
If a buyer reports a code you sold within their 24-hour protection window, the related earnings are held while we investigate. Verified cards rarely have issues; if the report is upheld the sale is reversed. Repeated bad cards lead to account closure.
👛Wallet & balance
Adding balance, credit and what each balance can do.
How does the wallet work?
Your wallet holds a USD balance you can spend on any gift card instantly — no invoice, no confirmations. Add balance with any crypto; you get exactly the amount you add (no bonus, no deduction).
What is the $10 welcome credit?
Sign up and get $10 for free. The credit lands in your wallet the moment your account is verified and applies automatically to any gift card order of $100 or more (one order of $100+, or a cart that adds up to $100+). It is credit for gift cards only — it cannot be withdrawn, and it is paid once per person.
Why can't I use the welcome credit on a smaller order?
The $10 welcome credit unlocks at $100. Below that the checkout still shows it in your wallet, with how much more you need to add; your own top-up balance is spendable on any amount.
Which parts of my balance can I withdraw?
Only earnings from gift cards you sold, 24 hours after they are credited. Balance you added, refunds returned to your wallet, the welcome credit and referral rewards are for buying gift cards and are never paid out — this is how we keep the wallet from being used to move money around.
Do I get extra balance for topping up?
No. Top-ups are credited 1:1 — add $100 and $100 is in your wallet to spend on gift cards (added balance cannot be withdrawn). Discounts come from the card prices and promo tiers, not from top-up bonuses.
Can I see every movement on my wallet?
Yes — Wallet shows a full ledger: deposits, purchases, sale credits, refunds, referral credit and withdrawals, each with a date and reference.
🪪Identity verification (KYC)
Why we ask, what to upload and how long it takes.
Do I need to verify my identity?
Not to buy or sell. Verification is required once before any withdrawal — every payout goes to a verified person only.
Which documents are accepted?
It depends on the country that issued your ID. India: Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID, driving licence or passport. United States: driver's license, state ID, passport or green card. United Kingdom: passport, photocard licence or BRP. EU: national ID card, passport, driving licence or residence permit. The verification form lists the accepted documents for every country the moment you choose it.
How do I submit?
Profile & security → Identity verification: choose the issuing country, pick the document, upload a clear photo of the front (and back for cards). All four corners must be visible, text readable, no glare. JPG, PNG or PDF up to 6 MB.
How long does verification take?
Usually a few hours, at most 24 hours. You are e-mailed the result; the shield badge in your account turns green when approved and withdrawals unlock immediately.
Why was my document rejected?
The usual reasons are blur, glare, cropped edges, an expired document, a name that does not match the account or a document from a different country than selected. Fix the issue and resubmit — there is no limit on attempts.
How is my document stored?
Documents are stored in a private folder that is not web-accessible, viewable only by administrators through an audited viewer, and used solely to confirm your identity. We never share them with third parties.
₿Withdrawals
Getting your sale earnings out to your crypto wallet.
How do I withdraw?
Three steps: have at least $50.00 of sale earnings past their 24-hour cooling period, verify your identity once, then open Withdraw, choose the coin and network and paste your wallet address. Withdrawals are paid in crypto only — there are no bank transfers.
How long does a withdrawal take?
Requests are processed in the order received — most are sent within a few hours, at most 24 hours. You get an e-mail with the transaction ID as soon as it is broadcast.
What is the minimum withdrawal?
$50.00 per withdrawal. A withdrawal may carry the network fee shown before you confirm.
Which coins can I withdraw?
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, USDT on Tron/Ethereum/BNB Chain, USDC and more — choose the coin and network and paste your wallet address. The address must belong to the network you picked; crypto transfers cannot be reversed.
Why is part of my balance not withdrawable?
Only sale earnings can leave the wallet. Added balance, refunds, the $10 welcome credit and referral rewards are for gift cards only, and fresh sale earnings wait 24 hours after crediting. Open the Withdraw page to see the exact split.
Can I withdraw to someone else's wallet?
Withdrawals are tied to your verified identity. Under anti-money-laundering rules we may ask you to confirm that the wallet is yours, and accounts that move money for others are closed.
My withdrawal is taking longer than promised
Check your e-mail for a request to confirm details. If more than 24 hours have passed, open a ticket with the request number — withdrawal requests are escalated immediately.
₿Payments & pricing
Invoices, rates, fees and network questions.
Which network should I use for USDT?
Any network shown on the invoice works. Tron (TRC20) is usually the cheapest and fastest; Ethereum (ERC20) costs more in gas. Always send on the same network the invoice specifies — coins sent on the wrong network cannot be credited.
How is the crypto amount calculated?
The invoice converts the USD price at the live market rate when it is created and locks it for the payment window. Pay the exact amount shown; wallet or exchange withdrawal fees must be added on your side.
Are there hidden fees?
No. The price at checkout is final. Network (miner) fees are charged by the blockchain, not by us, and are paid from your wallet when you send.
Can I pay in my local currency?
Prices can be displayed in INR, EUR, GBP and 30+ currencies with live rates, but payment is always in crypto. Balance you add to your wallet is held in USD.
Do I get a receipt or invoice?
Yes — every paid order has a receipt under My Purchases with the order number, items, discount, crypto amount and transaction ID.
🛡️Refunds & buyer protection
What is covered and how to claim.
What does buyer protection cover?
If a code you purchased is invalid, already redeemed or carries less than its stated balance, you are protected: report it within 24 hours of delivery and you receive a replacement of the same brand and value, or a full refund to your wallet.
How do I claim?
My Purchases → Problem with this code, within 24 hours of delivery. Describe what happened when you tried to redeem. Claims are verified within 24–48 hours.
Can I cancel an order?
Unpaid orders expire on their own — nothing is charged. Paid orders for delivered digital codes cannot be cancelled or returned, because the code has already been revealed to you.
Where does a refund go?
Refunds are credited to your wallet — spend them instantly on any gift card (refunded balance cannot be withdrawn).
What is not covered?
Claims after the 24-hour window, codes redeemed successfully and then disputed, region locks caused by redeeming outside the card's stated region, codes shared with third parties, and delivery to an e-mail address typed incorrectly by the buyer.
🔐Safety & security
Keeping your account, codes and money safe.
Is GiftByCrypto safe to use?
Every card is balance-verified before sale, payments run through audited crypto processors, and the platform has been serving crypto users since 2016. Buyer protection, 2FA, device management and 24×7 human support back every order.
How do I enable two-factor authentication?
Profile & security → Two-factor authentication → Set up 2FA. Scan the QR code with Google Authenticator, Authy or any TOTP app, enter the 6-digit code, and store the recovery codes safely.
I lost my authenticator
Use one of your recovery codes to sign in, then disable and re-enable 2FA with the new device. No recovery codes? Open a ticket from the e-mail on the account — we verify you and reset 2FA manually.
How do I see and sign out devices?
Profile & security → Active devices lists every signed-in browser with location and time. Sign out everywhere else with one click if something looks unfamiliar, and change your password.
Someone asked me for my gift card code
Never share a code with anyone — not by phone, chat or e-mail. GiftByCrypto staff will never ask for your codes, passwords, 2FA codes or a payment to "unlock" an order.
How many accounts can I have?
One account per person and one account per device. To keep every wallet and gift-card code safe, GiftByCrypto allows a single account on each phone, tablet or computer — a second sign-up from the same device is refused, and accounts found to belong to the same person are linked and may be frozen. Use one account and keep it: the welcome credit, referral rewards and milestone rewards are all paid to that one account.
How do you prevent fraud on the platform?
Device and IP checks, velocity limits, address risk scoring, balance verification of every card and manual review of unusual orders. Accounts that break the rules are frozen and funds are held pending review.
👤Account & referrals
Sign-in, profile, referral rewards and support tickets.
How does Refer & Earn work?
Share your link from Referrals. When a friend signs up and spends $200 on gift cards, you receive $10 and your friend receives $10 — both as gift-card credit. There is no limit on how many friends you invite or how much you earn: ten friends is $100, a hundred friends is $1,000.
Is there a reward for my own spending?
Yes. Every customer unlocks $10 of gift-card credit the moment their own purchases pass $200 in total — referred or not. It is credited automatically and you get an e-mail when it lands.
Can I withdraw referral rewards?
No — referral rewards are gift-card credit. Spend them on any card in the store; they cannot be withdrawn.
Do I have to verify my e-mail?
Yes. Every e-mail sign-up receives a 6-digit one-time code at that address and the account is activated only after the code is entered — the $10 welcome credit is added at that moment. Google sign-ins are verified by Google, so no code is needed.
I forgot my password
Use Forgot password on the login page — a reset link is e-mailed to you. If you signed up with Google, just continue with Google.
How do I change my e-mail or country?
Profile & security → Personal details. Changing the e-mail requires confirming the new address. Your verified country comes from your ID and cannot be edited directly.
How do I contact support?
Open a ticket on this page or e-mail
[email protected]. Include your order number (GBC-…) or withdrawal request number — it cuts resolution time in half. You can follow every reply under My Tickets.
How do I close my account?
Withdraw or spend your balance, then ask support to close the account. We keep the records the law requires and delete the rest.
