GiftChill was founded to address the difficulty of purchasing gift cards online for cryptocurrency. While gift card sites already exist, they’re not built to keep up in the 2020s. Purchasing a gift card through one of these sites can feel like a chore. They’re not built for the instant delivery ecosystem that the rest of the internet thrives in. We took a closer look at some of our leading competitors and researched the places they fell short. After a period of development, we’re pleased to share what we found other websites lacking and designed ours to fix. In analyzing the industry, we found five main issues:
1.    Delivery. Purchasing a gift card online is a great way to save a few bucks on something you’re already looking to buy. However, gift card purchases have historically taken weeks to process and you won’t receive the card via post mail quickly enough to use it on your intended purchase. Purchase and delivery methods on major gift card sites are slow and ineffective.

2.    Verification. Building off the delivery issue, sites often don’t confirm that the card is valid or has the correct redemption instructions. Given that they often can’t verify if the buyer has used the card, it can be difficult or impossible to get a refund.

3.    Sourcing. Many gift card websites function as buying-and-selling marketplaces. With the ability to use many gift cards online with only the code, the risk of being unable to redeem it after purchase remains.

4.    Personal Information. Other websites require more information than necessary to sign up. While the law requires that some information be collected, good websites should require the bare minimum.

5.    Credit Card Details. Even with fraud verification and purchase protection, it’s dangerous to enter your credit card details on an untrustworthy website. Any good website should look for ways to avoid requiring credit card information from customers.
Even one of these issues would be a dealbreaker, but we found that many websites force users to go through all of them. With the idea of doing better across the board, we founded GiftChill with the following five answers:
1.    Instant Delivery. Currently, the only delivery method we support is instant email. As soon as the payment is processed, you’ll have the gift card code in your email. Because different vendors manage gift cards differently, we’ll include information about using it in-store or online. However, we’ll ensure it’s there immediately.

2.    Validity Verification: GiftChill doesn’t function as a marketplace. We’re not interested in purchasing unverified cards at shady rates and turning around to sell them with no guarantee of their validity.  We make sure that every code we list is legitimate and activated for use immediately. When you buy from GiftChill, you get a gift card you can immediately use.

3.    Sourcing Details: GiftChill guarantees that all cards we offer for sale are legitimate and there’s no risk they’ve already been used. When you make your purchase, you own that card and can use it any time you want. Most of the cards we offer have no risk of expiration. On the few that do, we make it very clear when you’ll need to use them. Additionally, any additional PIN or verification codes will be included in the email.

4.    Personal Information Collection: GiftChill requires users to sign up to purchase gift cards, but all we ask for is a username and email address, password and billing address, we. No unnecessary personal information is required to purchase gift cards.

5.    Credit Card Details: Since GiftChill was created to combat unnecessary credit card use on gift card sites, it makes sense that we wouldn’t require any credit card information–and we don’t! Gift cards can be purchased with different cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, Doge, Shiba, Cardano, Chromia, Solana, XRP, BUSD, USDC, and USDT. We maintain a partnership with Coinbase and NowPayments and are constantly looking at expanding our payment options. For the time being, all four of these cryptocurrencies will allow you to purchase gift cards through our website.

GiftChill was created to be the one-stop shop for gift card purchases online. While other gift card websites exist, we’ve found that they don’t accurately cater to the needs of the 21st century. Tech-savvy users who understand cryptocurrency should be rewarded. By focusing specifically on crypto transactions, we can keep overhead low. Since GiftChill doesn’t have to integrate with Paypal or credit card companies, we can remain focused on providing gift cards at the best prices.

Blockchain technology may someday replace credit cards altogether. Until that happens, we’re happy to present a variety of gift cards for sale at great prices. Not only does GiftChill offer over a hundred different gift cards, our available options change daily. If you’re interested in tracking what we have for sale, make sure you check the site every day. In the near future, we’ll also be launching daily offers! Each day, a specific item will be either new or discounted. Stay tuned to see what’s next. The GiftChill team is made up of crypto enthusiasts who are excited to blaze a new trail in the digital frontier. We’re thrilled that you’re checking out our website and we can’t wait to help you find the perfect gift card.

The future of online gift card sales is bright. Corporations have historically thrived by selling gift cards that don’t get redeemed. As the world becomes more and more connected online, everyone will be able to find a gift card that’s perfect for them. If you’re looking for a gift card with low demand, you might be able to get it at an even lower price. Regardless of what the future holds, GiftChill will be at the forefront.
