Well, it depends on what you put into KYC. As I wrote, they do require a name to issue the card, along with an email. In a sense, that's KYC. But when you can type any name and temporary email you want, is it really what you consider KYC? I see KYC as providing trackable information like an identification card and so on. And the posts you are linking to are for higher amounts. I don't see any feedback mentioning KYC under the threshold limit I wrote. Rewarble has also confirmed this officially by e-mail. Only technical difficulties which happens to every company operating sometimes.
Rewarble writes themselves when you open the card: No KYC for up to 750 euro/dollar. If you want higher spending limits, you need to do automatic id verification. I would post photo/screenshot, but the forum does not let me.
To make it clear, Rewarble does not require any id documents or trackable information for mastercards under 750 dollars and other gift cards under 1100$. Long as you provide a name and adress, it can literially be anything.
you are missing my point, i'm not talking about what info you give them, i'm saying you can't say they are no KYC when that's not the true. whether you give them real info or fake info, doesn't change the fact they can ask for KYC/AML at any time regardless of the spending limits.
but i see you changed the title and removed NO KYC, so i guess we are good on that.
I tried exactly what you described, based on the danger-level system:
1) Used the Tor network and redeemed gift cards with high-risk fingerprints.
2) Used a blacklisted free VPN and the same high-risk gift cards.
3) Put a completely fake name and obviously fake address details. ( Bla bla blu blu , monkey street 2 .... )
Source: MaxMind IP fraud score and others. I selected VPN IPs with extremely high risk score of fraud.
What happened:
1) Nothing — I could still use the service normally.
2) Nothing — I could still use the service normally.
3) I got an error saying: “It looks like your name does not belong to a real person, please use a real name.” Once corrected, service was operational without any kyc.
Do you know any service that doesn’t freeze your account when you put an obviously fake name? Here they just automatically tell you to use a real name. That’s how “kind” they are on this.
Rewarble earn allot on fees from resellers and when you select a service, they don’t want to do anything to lose money by giving out reputation on requiring KYC for low limits. They will go out of business then.
i'm sure the people who left them negative reviews on trustpilot don't think they are "kind".
their current internal policy may be lenient, but policy is not the terms you agree to when you use them, and if they ever change their policy (or be forced to), lots of users gonna get fucked, which is better to not play those games.
also in general giving fake KYC info when money is involved is a terrible suggestion, if anyone ever get flagged for KYC/AML, they can kiss that money goodbye.
Let me make myself clear: This post is my review, and I did complete a thorough work on this and tested it in several scenarios. So I am sure about how slippery they are on following AML regulations. This post is too help people, so I made sure about that.
i'm not so sure, maybe i'm just paranoid, but your "review" looks more like you are shilling for them than you genuinely trying to help people, because no matter how sure you are, you wouldn't suggest doing things that could lose people money.
