Exchange your STEEM and SBD for a STEEM VISA® GIFT CARD and other eGifts.
@Steemgiftcards Removes the Guesswork
It's now easier than ever to figure out how to spend your steem and steem dollars. STEEM.CARDS now offers eGift and gift cards from VISA® and some of the top retail brands such as Amazon & Best Buy
which can all be purchased using steem, steem dollars, bitcoin, and litecoin.
How it works
- Go to Steem.Cards (it is recommended that you log in to steemconnect.com before shopping).
- Choose your product(s).
- Go to the cart to checkout.
- If you chose a plastic Visa gift card, a shipping address is required.
- Choose payment method (steem/sbd, bitcoin, or litecoin).
- Upon choosing steem/sbd, you will be forwarded to steemconnect.com to finalize your payment.
- Upon choosing bitcoin or litecoin, a pop up window will allow you to finalize your payment.
After you have successfully made your purchase, all orders will be fulfilled by Blackhawk Networks
What To Look Forward To?
Steem.Cards is an old idea but a new project. We are starting out with about 20 items in our store and will expand our selections daily. I would like to see 100 items for sale by the end of Feburary 2018.Currently we are utilizing an api approved by Black Hawk networks on the back end. We are working on a full api integration by April 2018.
This project is made possible by following @adept's tutorial on adding steem payment options to any Shopify store.
Wow this is what I was waiting since a long. This will really make the steem more adaptable.
Oh my god I’m gonna get one of these cards .
Very cool, i will be trying this very soon, many thanks for the info :)

Thanks for sharing
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
Are cards valid worldwide or only in USA?
Game changer...Great news for the fastest and cheapest Crypto
SBD is at around $7.00 USD
Your website is asking me to pay 15,742 SBD for a $100.00 e-GIFTcard.
That's thousands... not tens.
What's the deal?
This idea is gonna change some things for me. Definitely helps me prove how lucrative some earnest interaction can be.
$9.95 processing fee is higher. Also, it's not showing the total in STEEM instead it is showing in Dollar.
hi.. if i buy amazon gift card is this available here in Egypt. .? because some amazon gift card is only available in US
Unfortunately, at the moment, its only available in the US
