Where can I buy $500 gift cards for amazon.com with cryptocurrency?

When bitcoin topped $70,000 recently, I went to a few gift card outlet websites. But when I actually went to add a $500 gift card for amazon.com to my cart, they said it was “currently unavailable”.

Did amazon.com stop selling gift cards to third parties? Or was this a temporary supply problem during the ATH?

Where can I currently buy a few $500 gift cards for amazon.com using cryptocurrency?

        Yea, I used it maybe 5 days ago or so?

        I do only use it like once every 3 months so I can’t vouch for availability…

          Yeah, I just tried it again 3 minutes ago. I get the following error from bitrefill when clicking Add to cart for a $500 Amazon.com gift card:

          This product is currently not available in your area.

          The Country of my account is set to USA and Language is set to English

          Are you sure you’re not buying amazon cards for another domain (eg amazon.co.uk, or amazon.ca, etc)? I’m specifically asking about amazon.com cards.

            100% positive. I buy them and add them to my account, all US based. Maybe your VPN is connected elsewhere? Just a random thought…

    Coinsbee or coincards

    Edit: Though due to crazy high transaction fees, using something like Monero might be better.

      Yeah, I definitely prefer monero.

      Coincards sent me a link to a third party service that gave me a 403. When I asked them about it, it took a few days and then they sent the card details over email. Smh

      Email is insecure and they said they had no secure way to deliver the card details. I’ll never use them again.

      And I haven’t used coinsbee but their website had a lot of obvious red flags. I dont trust them.

        I haven’t used coincards very often, just due to the fact that they still require a name when ordering, but I use coinsvee every month at least once and sometimes more without issues.

          Does coinsbee have a secure way to deliver the card’s private keys?

          The website isn’t even loading for me now (on Tor Browser). I don’t even get a response on a simple GET request to /

          But last time I visited the site, the website contained the text All data is stored securely and encrypted – which is obviously bullshit and shows that either they’re liars or incompetent.

          I thought coinsbee was worse in this regard https://help.coinsbee.com/en/support/solutions/articles/101000336350-is-it-necessary-to-provide-personal-data-

            All I’ve ever had to provide to coinsbee is an email address in order to receive the cards. And what they do is they send you a link to a website you have to click on.I haven’t used Tor browser with it, so I’m not sure on that one.

              And what they do is they send you a link to a website you have to click on.

              That’s horrifying. So they just basically send your order out to the Internet for anyone to steal (whoever gets the link first gets to spend the card).

              I do like that bitrefill delivers the card’s details securely (directly on the site; it’s not rocket science), but the unavailability of the cards for weeks has become quite an issue.

                I mean I guess so, but why wouldn’t you be the first one to get the link since it’s emailed directly to you? So I see what you’re saying, but I don’t see where it’s a problem.
