Title: Buying bitcoin using Apple gift card
Post by: 8xbt.com on February 02, 2017, 07:34:59 PM
Is it possible to buy bitcoin using Apple gift card/itunes card? I am using bitcoin ATM regularly but it is not convenient.
Please share your experience on this (i.e. credibility of sites dealing with these, level of convenience, whether verification needed, etc. ). Thanks.

While it is possible, the percentage of bitcoin that you would receive for the gift card would be rather low as the going rate for the gift card in the bitcoin community is around .16 cents for each dollar on your card.

That price is from paxful, so if you'd like try your luck with the currency exchange section of the forum I'd try that as .16 on the dollar is extremely low and pretty unreasonable.

Good luck with the card(s) bud!

You may better move your thread to Digital Goods Board or (more likely) to Exchange board, recently I found a website about selling/buying digital things they also advertise here in forum and they are coinmall, please do your own research before using any service and deal through escrow if possible with individuals.

I think that there are some sites out there that allow for people to trade gift cards for Bitcoin, but I would expect for there to be a premium on the entire system due to the lack of value that can be moved out of the cards and their limit exclusively to iTunes.

I haven't used them, but I might have some cards sitting around that I can use.

Very possible, if you are familiar with paxful and localbitcoins then you can, The rate is awful/horrible/horrendous though, You would be getting 70% if you include a recipe, picture of the physical card and a written note. If you want anything better then it's just atm's and coinbase.

Yes it is, you can sell your gift card in here. You only can do to sell your giftcard for the other bitcoin user, I mean about the private transaction. but you can't do anything with your giftcard in the exchange site.

You can sell Apple gift cards to bitcoin on paxpul.com or you can sell Apple gift cards on digital good section on bitcointalk
although it will take much time and don't forget use escrow service because many scammers.

It's possible but you are going to have to receive less than the price of your gift card. There are mediator companies like paxful that are always ready to find you a deal but you can receive just a third of what you're offering in Bitcoins.

It's possible, I've seen a friend redeem his Amazon gift card on a website ( I don't remember but if I think it's paxful or so) and got paid in Bitcoin. They accept all kinds of payment methods for bitcoins and do I will suggest you check it out.

Yes it is possible to buy bitcoins using apple gift cards. All you have to do is place your codes on a certain site that accepts giftcards in purchasing bitcoin then you are good to go. I am using localbitcoins.com before but I dont know if it is still working today or it suits your taste. Hope you will have a successful transaction and if you think my link is not good then you can ask google for sites accepting apple gift cards in exchange for bitcoin.

Here is the link: https://localbitcoins.com/buy-bitcoins-online/apple-store-gift-card-code/

in spite, it is possible to link bitcoin and apple gift card but it would be better not to use bitcoin for that Besse smalls mall transaction would take a lot of money as transaction fees and you should better keep using general banking to make payment.

You can try to buy bitcoin using apple gift card through paxful and vice versa. The problem is I don't think there are too much people looking to buy an already purchased apple gift card. Some would most likely want to have it directly sent to their email prior to sending you the bitcoins and they would not prefer you to just send over the code.
