I have not used their service yet since I do not have a smart phone but is it something where you can just get the price at the register then buy the card on your phone and scan it?

Title: Re: Walmart gift cards now available -Gyft Cards using Bitcoins Post by: solarion on April 30, 2014, 05:28:59 AM The email I received from gyft:
Quote Hi there, First, thanks for being such a loyal Gyft customer. I cannot emphasize enough that we truly value your support. Without you, we could not bring on new and exciting retailers like Walmart. Second, although we were so excited to bring Walmart on board, due to circumstances beyond our control, we need to remove Walmart from our list of participating retailers, effective April 13, 2014. Rest assured that we are doing everything in our power to bring them back up as soon as possible. Your existing Walmart gift cards will work as they should. If you are as disappointed as we are about this decision by Walmart, please email them at help@walmart.com and let then know how you feel about it. In the meantime, we have added other exciting retailers that you can still purchase from here. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at support@gyft.com Thanks again, The Gyft Team No explanation, but it was obviously walmart's decision to withdraw. We should all email help@walmart.com and express our displeasure.

Title: Re: Walmart gift cards now available -Gyft Cards using Bitcoins Post by: zoinky on April 30, 2014, 05:33:40 AM Awww that is short-lived :( Kind of curious why walmart withdrew from the program... From what I've read there were issues with scanning barcodes. Title: Re: Walmart gift cards now available -Gyft Cards using Bitcoins Post by: solarion on April 30, 2014, 05:40:42 AM Oh dear...then they might have to type all those numbers. :'(
Title: Re: Walmart gift cards now available -Gyft Cards using Bitcoins Post by: Dannie on April 30, 2014, 05:51:17 AM Awww that is short-lived :( Kind of curious why walmart withdrew from the program... From what I've read there were issues with scanning barcodes. If it is just a simple technical problem (scanning barcodes), it should be easy to fix and restart the program, unless walmart lost interest and confidence in Gyft. Title: Re: Walmart gift cards now available -Gyft Cards using Bitcoins Post by: solarion on April 30, 2014, 04:57:23 PM In response to my request for a timetable for re-instatement, I received this response from Walmart:

Title: Re: Walmart gift cards now available -Gyft Cards using Bitcoins Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on May 01, 2014, 02:56:01 AM I knew there was a reason why I literally shit in the aisles of Walmart last night. When the manager ask what he could do for me, I offered up to him to wipe my ass.
The above is a true story. Simply ask if you want the complete account. Title: Re: Walmart gift cards now available -Gyft Cards using Bitcoins Post by: Gyfts on May 01, 2014, 05:15:23 AM Glad they added this. All they are doing is expanding which is great for BTC users.

I am sure my computer can make hundreds of posts a seconds, but my brain can't do that.

Title: Re: Walmart gift cards now available -Gyft Cards using Bitcoins Post by: solarion on May 09, 2014, 03:40:42 AM Used the walmart gyft card I bought while the window was briefly open. It was about what I'd expected. I even printed it out for them so they didn't have to be freaked out when I handed the cashier my phone to scan. It was still like they'd never heard of such a thing. It took 10-15 mins to get the right person to approve the purchase.
To be fair kmart's staff behaves similarly every single time I try them. I think I've even gotten the same cashier a couple times and it's like they've never heard of such a thing every time. Kmart even let me swap a kmart gyft card for an amex gift card once, but they've since claimed I cannot do that. Weirdest of all is that sears owns kmart and sears is bar none the most accommodating b&m shop I've used a gyft card. Walk in with a $500 sears gyft card and walk out with 4 $100 amex or mastercards and change.

Matter of time till they wake up to its potential] Mass adoption will drive them back Title: Re: Walmart gift cards now available -Gyft Cards using Bitcoins Post by: jourcards on September 08, 2014, 11:45:20 AM Well jour-cards is offering exchanging wallmart gift cards to bitcoins and other currencies with reliable prices
Title: Re: Walmart gift cards now available -Gyft Cards using Bitcoins Post by: oceans on September 09, 2014, 02:09:27 AM It's a shame they stopped doing these. These were really ideal and were great for those who would rather use bitcoins. I am really hoping to see them come back at some point.

Nope, the option to buy is gone. I grabbed one card while the window was briefly open. Hi, actually YesToBitcoins.com (http://YesToBitcoins.com) just launched Walmart gift cards, (you can get them here http://yestobitcoins.com/e-gift-card-for-walmart-com/ (http://yestobitcoins.com/e-gift-card-for-walmart-com/)) . Although YesToBitcoins uses the same processing engine as Gyft (bitpay), it is not integrated to Walmart's system like Gyft (YesToBitcoins purchases directly from Walmart as a private agent for the bitcoin client). So it is Walmart itself that emails the gift card. |
