Go to buy.cakepay.com and search for debit/gift cards in that country! CakePay is the cheapest way to get legit debit/gift cards at FACE VALUE for XMR and other crypto. Vik

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?

[-] azalty@jlai.lu 1 points 10 months ago

I don’t recommend using Cake Pay for VISA / Mastercard

For other services, they probably won’t enforce KYC

This isn't even a link to an article. It's just spam.

[-] vikrantnyc@monero.town -1 points 11 months ago

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

[-] library_napper 1 points 11 months ago

If theres no article then you have nothing to post. We're here for information, not ads.

[-] LemmyHead@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

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

[-] azalty@jlai.lu 0 points 11 months ago

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

[-] library_napper 1 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] azalty@jlai.lu 1 points 11 months ago

Come on, most comparative articles nowadays are just worthless and filled with referral links

It would be better than this crap
