How to buy gift cards with crypto

Use a crypto-funded virtual Visa to buy gift cards online.

Many gift-card retailers accept Visa online. Fund a Skope virtual card with crypto and use it to purchase gift cards for stores and services.

Steps

  1. Connect a wallet on Base (or bridge/swap in funds during the funding step).
  2. Choose how much you want on the card in USD.
  3. Pay with USDC, or borrow USDC against crypto you'd rather keep.
  4. Generate the virtual Visa card and use its number to pay for gift cards.
  • Some gift-card sellers restrict prepaid cards to reduce fraud, so check the retailer's accepted payment methods.
