RE: Exchange your STEEM and SBD for a STEEM VISA® GIFT CARD and other eGifts.
Resteemed. I also just bought a $100 amazon card.
You should mention there is aa 10% markup in the price of cards.
You're not consistent with how you list values in the drop downs
so one of them is 50, one is 100.00, and one is $500.00
I made a purchase
it's unclear if that's going to email me a card or mail me one.
Please get me some answers and I'll make a separate post about this service.
I just received my giftcard. It works. Nice job fellas. I'll make a post about the experience.
Found this post based on your post actually lol
Thank You @aggroed We are currently working to make the necessary updates and improvements.
these cards are VCC or plastic cards
So how is with that omni cards. I am looking for an anonymous steem debit card, more than gift card.
I would agree @aggroed, the card fee needs to be clearer on the site...although I have to say, $7.95 for a $500 Visa pre-paid card would be a lot cheaper than the 10% or so in fees it would likely take to convert the SBD/STEEM into fiat, given what I believe is a fairly convoluted process to get there now you know. Also...does the fee increase with value of the card? Is there a difference between the cost of putting $25 on the card as opposed to $100? I'm asking you 'cause you've already went through the checkout process. If I'm not understanding something correctly, please enlighten me.
The fee is a flat 10% on all store brand cards. $7.95 USD and standard shipping are the only fees asssociated with the Visa Prepaid card as it has to be printed.
Ok...so NO 10% fee on the Visa Cards? Just the $7.95 +shipping fees on those?
Precisely
@steemgiftcards Is this card rechargable or do you have to order a new Visa card the next time?
Looks like it's a 10% fee
totally agree
Thanks for the feedback
The orders are fulfilled by Blackhawk Networks so you can expect an email from any of one of their subsidiaries (GiftCardMall, GiftCards, OmniCards)
As far as the aesthetics concerning value symbols, I will have that cleaned up.
Now for the part everyone wants to know about. Yes there is a 10% per associated with using our service. When utilizing the api, Steem is converted to USD via BTC and there is a fee associated with that. In an effort to speed up the process, we are accepting unconfirmed btc transactions which requires mining fees. 10% won't always cover the full amount.
any ability to switch to ltc? or bitcoin cash.
That would be contingent on Blackhawk Networks as they are are ones facilitating. We are definitely pushing toward a very little to no fee at all, but that only comes after we demonstrate an ability to market and handle volume.
Super interesting. In general this effort is helpful for those of us who still communicate with friends who are mostly not on steemit or in crypto. These types of initiatives help our community over all. I look forward to future developments, using this in the future, and sharing those views. Til then just sharing this info is a big help to us all. Thank yous!
Great to see. Having more conversations with non steemit friends. This helps the dialogue.
Agreed! This helps drives non-crypto users to the platform
