How CardsRelay Works
The simplest way to buy and sell gift cards with cryptocurrency.
Buying a gift card
Browse and select
Search our catalog of 30+ gift card brands across retail, gaming, food, travel, and entertainment. Filter by region (US, UK, EU, AU) to find cards valid in your country.
Choose denomination
Select your region and the value you want (e.g., $10, $25, $50, $100). We show you the total including our transparent service fee upfront — no surprises.
Enter your email
Provide your email address for code delivery. No account required. We only use it to deliver your code.
Pay with crypto
We generate a payment invoice with the exact crypto amount. The price is locked for 5 minutes to protect you from volatility. Send the exact amount to the address shown (or scan the QR code).
Receive your code instantly
Within seconds of on-chain confirmation, your gift card code and PIN appear on screen and are emailed to you. No waiting, no manual review.
Selling a gift card (Marketplace)
