We unfortunately haven't been focused on getting feedback on here as much as we should :(  However, here is an old thread with some vouches.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178253.0

If you do use the service, we'd love to get a review.  We've processed over 300 btcs worth of giftcards since we've opened...

Thanks
Richie

why should i the consumer use this service vs gyft ? as it appears your bitcoins rates are below even btc-e &  the process appears manual.


and yes  i have read your faq :)

I haven't personally used Gyft before so I can't comment on their speed or service but we:

* are completely anonymous.  no sign up of any type needed.  Just give us a place to send you the giftcard.
* super fast.  our system is completely automated so you should get your GC within 2 confirmations (as long as we didn't break something : )
* low friction.  no check out carts, no check out process.  choose your value and send to an address.  thats it.
* awesome customer support ;)
* a completely btc business.  I know this is obvious, but is a nice call out

We built the site to fill the gap that buybtc.info left when they shut down and we do our best to keep our rates competitive; if you find more value in Gyft and they work for you, it is a great alternate solution

Thanks
Richie

we originally were going to list a ticker of sales, but the information felt janky since we had to protect our customers privacy and couldn't list any attributable data on the site.  I'll reach out to some of our regular customers and see if I can get them to post a review on here to increase our reputation on here.

Thanks
Richie

Is your system automatic or manual? I mean, do we need to wait for you to send us the giftcards?

Its completely automated.  The second the system confirms payment, it will automatically send you the GC.  Try it in the middle of the night and see what happens ;)

This would be a great service, can anyone confirm they used it?  Does the gift card get sent via e-mail or physical mail?  If it's email is it just the code?  Thanks.

I can confirm that I've used it once successfully. My status went instantly to fulfilled and it probably took longer for my mail service to process the email than anything else.

Simple email looks like:
Code:
Thank you for your purchase.


Your amazon.com gift card valued at $XXX is now available.
Claim code: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
To redeem your Amazon.com Gift Card
1. Visit www.amazon.com/redeemgift.
2. Enter the Claim Code and click Apply to Your Account.


Quick and easy. Didn't pay attention to much to the rate. If I did i'd cry more for spending 20+ btc on xbox live codes 2-3 years ago. :(

Heh... Yeah, I'd cry too if i think about playing poker on betco.in and taking 10-20 btc swings daily heh...

But yes, its a very simple email that shows up in your inbox.  Our motto is keeping it as simple and frictionless as possible.   We do not provide physical cards.

Thanks
Richie

Guys, just some advice.
I used a very similar site on Tor. I lost over 3 BTC there.
May not be the same site, but seems a bit fishy.

Please provide some evidence or data if you are going to warn people.  We have processed over 650gcs and almost 300btcs without a single complaint.  I don't know what's fishy about providing a fast and efficient service.

The fact that you ask for payment before asking for any information about the buyer.

I'm curious, why do I need to know anything about the buyer?  One of the perks of bitcoin and crypto currency in general is the ability to remain anonymous.  What value is there in me knowing anything about the buyer other than they have paid for the services they requested?

Is  there a way you can get amazon cards from other countries or parts of the world,
for people that live in europe , canada they cant use amazon.com they have their own amazons,

is it in your plan to maybe upgrade your site with more cards?

would be really good.

We've thought about it but there hasn't been a huge interest in it.  If a specific region gets enough requests, we'll find a way to provide for it :)

I couldn't find many reviews of your service so I wanted to post about how positive my experience was.  I posted this in one other thread too I think.

Fantastic, smooth as butter.

Purchased a $50 Amazon code just to test it, then a $500 code when the first one worked.

Seems fully automated.

Maybe 10 minutes until I got my code at my email address.  Immediately redeemed it at amazon.  No signups or silliness necessary, just an  email address and your payment...the way the world should be.

Dead simple website design too.  I will use this one again.

Well i would be interested MOS DEF in buying some gift cards form amazon.

Get some canadian cards if you can, i think many people would be interested in your service, maybe you should set up a poll and give it some time,

if a lot of people vote yes you should implement? just an idea.

thanks

@CombustibleLemon, thanks for the positive review!  We have a lot of repeat customers outside of this forum and never spent the time to build a rep in here so we really appreciate you taking the time to write something. 

@battlescars, that's a great idea!  I'd love to get a poll up and find out what the response is like.  Before I do that though, I think i'll wait till we get a few more reviews of the service.  One of the most frustrating aspects of trying to run a btc business is convincing people you're not a scammer (even in this thread you see it).  I'd rather get to the point where we're known and trusted by this community before soliciting for more bitcoins.

Thanks
Richie

Yeah i understand where your getting at, you want people to know your business , you have to make it more known to the community.
In this situation we have to be patient, and only time will tell how things will end up,

Gl with your business:)
