    I’ve bought one of the gift cards, but even though monero payment was successful, my order has a red warning message “Transaction failed”, with instruction to contact you by email with order id. I did that, but there is no response after 2 days (apart from automatic “we received your request” email). How long do I need to wait to get my gift card?

    I don’t recommend, their service is buggy as hell and requires KYC. Avoid at all costs, just got scammed $10.

      Thanks for warning. Saw https://monero.town/post/872283 too. Guess Cake Pay may be convenient for those who are fine with KYC. Another option, that Stealths thing is more expensive (higher fees), so basically if you want to buy a gift card here or there, you’ll have to choose between (possible) KYC and higher fees. Or so it seems…

        https://trocador.app/ also sells Visa cards from Tremendous with lower fees but higher minimum value (50€)

        But they don’t claim to support 3D secure even though the card comes from the same provider as Stealths. Trocador is a bit weird because they have contradictory information on their sale page (fees and features are not the same at the top of the page and at the bottom of it)

        But yea it would be great to have a lower fee alternative with a low minimum value.

        Cake Pay should be fine for most gift cards, I don’t think they usually ask for KYC for those.

          So perhaps your recent bad experience with Mastercard EUR cards are rather exceptional?

      Spam is not forbidden here. Hypothetically, even if the cake is a lie and it’s a Tor-blocking, privacy-unfriendly, centralized big player, their existence is perhaps still net positive.…?

      Apparently, Stealths is being relatively popular now with some good reviews: https://monero.town/post/1386768
      Not a recommendation DYOR

      There is no article. There is link to the site article. Nice try though.

          While it is certainly written as an ad, this gives valuable information, I wasn’t aware cakepay was reopened and allowed to buy prepaid visa/mastercard cards

            If they wrote an article about cake pay that compared it to other services, that would be informative. This isn’t; its just a link to a buy page.

          I think there should be room for ads like these too though. Maybe with a “ad” label or something so those not interested can quickly skip them
