Hello Everyone!

We have just launched CoinCards.ca, a site dedicated to bringing merchant adoption in Canada through gift card sales.

We offer Gift Cards sent directly to you or your family by Mail/Courier when possible or Anonymously through Email. We have worked hard to have as many options as possible and will be working to add more vendors in the future.

Some of the big name vendors we can offer include:
  • Costco
  • Canadian Tire
  • Cineplex
  • ToysRus
  • Best Buy
  • Future Shop
  • Home Depot
  • NCIX.ca
  • Memory Express

Coincards.ca was created to help Canadians spend their bitcoins at Major Canadian retailers through purchasing prepaid giftcards. We strive to have the best selection available while pushing the bitcoin economy.
Our ultimate goal is to show retailers that their customers are interested in spending bitcoins in their stores and hopefully we will be able to convince retailers that bitcoin is a viable currency and one they should consider accepting. We dream of a world where digital currencies can be used at all retailers across the world.

We work on a 5% Fee basis, which is added at the time of checkout. The 5% fee will be used to push adoption and will not be converted to FIAT but pushed back into the bitcoin community. The only FIAT conversions we will do will be to cover the cost of the cards.

We are open to suggestions for new vendors and would love the feedback of the community!

We purchase directly from the vendor as soon as the order is placed with us. The cards are 100% legit directly from the retailers. Most "Electronic" cards will be sent within a few hours of purchase.

Our service is to facilitate this transaction while keeping our customers anonymous. We also will be using our sales volumes to send emails to the retailers saying "Hey, we took # amount of orders for your store this month. Maybe you should take bitcoins."

Any questions or requests, let us know.

Unfortunately we are unable to find any Major Grocery, or Gasoline cards which fit within our business model at the time but those are definitely ones we would like to add!

I LOVE YOU. I have been looking for something like this for a very long time. I live in Canada and can make full use of it. They have everything I want.

Just hoping it isn't a scam in any way, can someone try out a small amount and confirm it works?

Thanks for the kind words! Cheesy

If anyone wants to confirm I am legit, I will be at the Vancouver bitcoin meetup tonight at Decentral.Bangtown. Hopefully someone with a bit of posting rep here can verify for me Cheesy

I want to see someone buy it and confirm they got it, because if this is not another boring scam I will be all over it.

We've had a few buyers so if anyone from this site has used the cards, feedback would be appreciated Smiley

Also, if there any requests for retailers, we would definately love to look into expanding our selection!

I'd actually like to see Pizza Pizza or any good Pizza place on there.

If you or anyone from Eastern Canada could come up with a list of chains I will look into them.

Unfortunately Pizza Pizza, Panago and Pizza hut don't offer gift cards without actually picking them up in store. I found out Dominos will so I have added them, but it comes with a Min. Order to cover shipping costs.

Well you covered literally all the major stores I would buy from, which is amazing. All you need is some advertising now...

Hello All,

I just thought I'd let everyone know that we now have Save-on-Foods[1] and Clancy's Meat Co.[2] gift cards available on top of the 100+ other gift cards already available.

This addition now allows anyone with a Save-On-Foods or Clancy's to be able to buy groceries with their bitcoins! We will continue to offer more selection as we continue to grow and as always are open to more suggestions for other gift cards you would like to see!

Thanks, Coincards.ca

Interested in buying a Sportchek gift card of a big amount. Do you think we can use escrow on this site, just for my own convenience?

I'd have to think about this, gift card may take a week to deliver at which point when the btc is released the pricing volatility may create a loss on exchanging the BTC to fiat in order to cover my costs of the card. It could also produce a gain however I am not sure I want to take that risk at the moment.

PM me with your details, and we can talk more.



To anyone else who has used my service, I would appreciate if you could post your replies stating how it went so i can start earning some reputation! Smiley

I usually try to get the orders out within the hour if I am at my desk, however I was out for a few hours today. If you still haven't received your order please feel free to email me, mike@coincards.ca and I will look into it ASAP however the last order of the day was processed at about 9:30PM PST.

Thanks for using our service!

Spent about $400 now on mostly electronic cards. Still waiting on the physical cards but I'm satisfied with the service. For e-cards, hopefully it will be as fast as gyft someday. Smiley

Thanks for the feedback. I would love to get to a Gyft level, however I think the infrastructure in Canada's card networks is not quite there yet. Will keep working on it though Smiley
