I don't think this is the right place for you to ask for their feedback. Looks like you've already created a support ticket, if the problem is really big you can create another thread in the reputation section and ask them to respond there. Hope you get a reply soon!

Since Ikea is now open here (closed with the lockdown) I finally finished my kitchen! Can't believe. Made 100% with bitcoin via gift cards on Coinsbee and Bitrefill (perhaps I bought a voucher for Amazon too) and 1 trade. You can't imagine how hard I worked to get everything done. Between the electricity, tiling, painting, and furnishings, and plumbing. Not to mention a wall that I screwed up twice lol. I "plagiarised" or "paraphrased" this one, nothing fancy, but I'm so happy with it. With a dishwasher, no more dishwashing chores ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FBKna89v.png&t=665&c=mJbyezQZ-8IUcg) source:leroymerlin.fr I wanted a bathroom with the colors of Amsterdam and its red-light district.

Your new kitchen looks great! I am happy that everything went smoothly with the gift cards. But you do realise that if you have a new kitchen now, we'll be expecting a top performance from you next year for Bitcoin Pizza Day, right? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I recently tried out the Otto and the Cyberport gift cards on Bitrefill. Both worked fine without an issue. If someone is looking for electronics, keep in mind that it's Amazon Prime Day next week (21/22.06). On these days there are usually particularly good offers.

Updates: - It's now possible to use USDT (TRC-20) to buy from Bitrefill. You can't load your account with it though. - Coinsbee has integrated Binance Pay: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5182163.msg57222667#msg57222667For those who are not familiar with Binance Pay, it's a service that Binance released a few weeks ago which allows you to send/receive crypto with zero fees. The service is obviously centralized and requires KYC, but if you're already verified, you might as well just use it.
I haven't checked the other services for some time, so if you think I missed something important, please let me know so I update the topic.

Updates:
- It's now possible to use USDT (TRC-20) to buy from Bitrefill. You can't load your account with it though.
Ah, thanks for the update buddy! Even if I am not the biggest fan of Tron, TRC-20 is a pretty good way to save some transaction fees. If you don't load your account with Bitcoins in advance, the current fees for instant transactions are pretty high. Especially when the network is as full as it has been in recent months. That's why it's great to see Bitrefill steadily expanding its offers. I will try it out in the next few days/weeks and then report back here.
For those who are not familiar with Binance Pay, it's a service that Binance released a few weeks ago which allows you to send/receive crypto with zero fees. The service is obviously centralized and requires KYC, but if you're already verified, you might as well just use it.
If you have to do KYC with Binance anyway, I would advise using the Binance credit card. Here you save more through the cashback program compared to buying gift cards from Coinsbee. Especially if you own plenty of BNB.

It looks like Coincards has a few significant changes in regards to "Underpaid/Late Paid Invoices": Below, you will find a brief summary of the significant changes:- When a refund is required, Coincards.com will only process refunds in Bitcoin. Any altcoin payments will be converted to their bitcoin equivalent and will need to be processed in Bitcoin only. Bitcoin refunds include both on-chain, or off-chain (Lightning) payments.
- When an invoice is paid after the expiry timer, the invoice will be automatically processed at the current rate if there was no drop in value since the time of invoice. If the exchange rate has dropped since the invoice expiry, the value of the card will be automatically reduced. If we cannot reduce the amount of the card for any reason, we will contact the customer for a refund in bitcoin.
- When an invoice is underpaid, the value of the card will be automatically reduced and processed. If we cannot reduce the amount of the card for any reason, we will contact the customer for a refund in bitcoin.
If you don't load your account with Bitcoins in advance, the current fees for instant transactions are pretty high.
AFAICR, fees have been quite low in the past couple of weeks or so: mempool.space

I just found out about an actual reliable (at least it seems) method to get visa/mastercard giftcards so as to stay anoynomous protecting my privacy thanks to your amazing thread (apart from ezzocard which is really expensive and from private vcc sellers which seems less reliable :/)). Though i got some questions about its practicality if I really plan to use it for this purpose - staying anoynomous for privacy concerns while using mastercard/visa payments. Is it likely in your personal experience that prepaiddigitalsoltions ask for your personal documents if I simply plan to redeem a few (like within 5 codes/year?)? Besides, that does Coinsbee require verifcation pf your personal information if you register to buy their perpaid cards?
I'm not aware of any other services VCCs and to answer your questions: Coinsbee shouldn't ask you to verify your identity unless you reach the limit (10,000 EUR) so you're basically safe for two years if the 5 cards you're planning to buy are of 1000 EUR denominations. As for PrepaidDigitalSolutions, then there is always that risk. You can read the warning from Coinsbee's webpage: If a large number of codes are redeemed on a single account, prepaiddigitalsolutions.com may suspend the account for further investigation. We have no control over this.
Personally, I have bought many cards in the past (never 500/1000 EUR cards though) and never got asked to verify my identity. Also, before buying, please check their Trustpilot review page before because even though I haven't faced any issues myself, it appears that other people did. I know its a bit late but thanks for your detailed reply! Its really helpful! As a side note though it seems that coinsbee are no longer stocking Mastercards/ Visas VCCs now

If you're still interested in buying a few, you could ask them here or just email the support: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5182163.260;topicseenI wouldn't be surprised if they're not going to restock it again since the amount of people having issues with the cards is only increasing.

@SteepPepper ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Very kind of you to post such video. You don't know what it feels like to click on such link when there are children in the room. I'll have to explain that to the parents. I now wonder the credibility of your claim. At least searching a bit about this company, I wouldn't even bother to try it. See what I mean https://www.trustpilot.com/review/ezzocard.com?stars=1Their card doesn't work everywhere, and sometimes there is no money on... For sure I'm not looking for an alternative to Prepaiddigitalsolution. Enough garbage

Are there any gift card sellers in the Philippines, I only saw in the OP, US and CA so I was curious if there's one available in my country. Hopefully, a Steam Gift Card or an Amazon can at least be available, don't really want to get out of my house to buy Steam gift cards due to pandemic.

Yes, there are plenty of gift cards for the Philippines in both " Bitrefill" and " Coinsbee [select PH as its region]". - None of them had one for Amazon PH [not sure if it exists] but both of them have gift cards for Steam PH.
I'd suggest checking other providers as well.

There is no Amazon PH as mentioned above but you can always use a reship company like MyUS or Shipito to shop from the Amazon U.S or any other US store, and then ship the goods to your place. Obviously, though, that would cost a bit more compared to shipping directly to your place so I'd personally recommend investing in a prime membership and also consolidate packages to save money, especially if you're planning to shop on a regular basis.

Keep in mind, to use giftcards on Amazon US you MUST have a VALID US based payment method. So you would have to get a VCC with some $ on it and have it's address match the shipping address where you are sending stuff. Then you can use US giftcards. They do ping the card every now and then to make sure it's still valid. No charge, just an authorization for $1.00 most people don't even see it. -Dave

Is this a new thing? I used to shop from Amazon U.S all the time and I never had to link a credit card before. I just buy gift cards from other individuals on Paxful, redeem the cards, and then ship the goods to my package forwarding company's address.

It's perhaps an advice given, because in some countries Amazon has the habit of suspending accounts that only use gift cards and don't have a registered credit card first.
At least in my country, if you just opened your Amazon account and you pay for your first purchase with a gift card, you have a 50% chance of having your account suspended the same day (or once the package is in preparation. So you're not even sure if you'll receive your order). Only using gift cards for all your orders seems to be also something not really appreciated for Amazon.
@DaveF mentionned to add a VCC but I advice to take cautious doing it. Years ago they suspended my account after I added a VCC (funny to remember about it, it was a VCC given by PrepaiDigitalSolution). It took me months to get my account back, since Amazon wanted me to send fax with bank statement, ID card, ect.
If someone really wants to add a VCC, better to use a VCC issued by a bank.
Just sharing my last experience with Bitrefill's support. I contacted them and 5 days later only 1 reply and the problem was still going on. No choice to contact them via Twitter and my problem was resolved 10 minutes later. I would have liked the customer service to be as fast. (no grudges)

I've read stories of Amazon blocking accounts when a (large) gift card was redeemed. Obviously they don't want to risk shipping items bought with a gift card that was stolen or obtained in other illegal ways. Adding a creditcard ensures they can make you pay when needed.

This! A friend of mine recently used about €5k in Bitrefill Amazon gift cards to buy a TV and some other large items. Before making his purchase with the gift cards, he added a credit card to his Amazon account to be safe. With this precaution, he had no problems making his purchases.
Has anyone had any experience with Hotels.com (USD) gift cards? Since I am able to buy them in Europe, do these also work if you have an account that has only done EUR transactions so far? go to hotels.com choose country USA and currency USD search for your destination If given the choice select "pay now" Pay with your gift card Source: https://www.bitrefill.com/buy/hotels_com-usa/?hl=enI don't really get the explanation, tbh. Any idea if it works with EUR accounts?
