If you want to start using your Bitcoins to make real-life expenditures, Bitrefill is the platform for you.
In fact, it allows you to buy gift cards or vouchers to use on the most popular platforms (Amazon among all) without the need for identity recognition.
So if you are looking for a way to get rid of your Bitcoins before they start being taxed, keep reading this article.
We are going to look in detail at how this platform works and how we should use it to spend our Bitcoins.
What is Bitrefill
Bitrefill is a platform that allows people to use Bitcoin for everyday expenses by buying gift cards or phone top-ups. Users can use it from all over the world from computers or through the app.
As we see from the slogan, you can also use ETH and other cryptocurrencies on this platform.
How Bitrefill works
Bitrefill is a gift card service. Once we register, we can select one or more gift cards or phone refills on the platform, choose the desired amount, and purchase them by paying with accepted cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ether, and many others).
Crypto accepted
The cryptos accepted on Bitrefill are:
- Bitcoin
- Bitcoin Lightning
- Ether
- USDC
- USDT on ERC20
- USDT on TRC20 (network TRON)
- BinancePay
- LiteCoin
- Dogecoin
- Dash
How to buy on Bitrefill
To buy on Bitrefill we need to:
- Register for the platform
- Choose the gift card
- Enter the amount and add it to the cart
- Making payment
- Receive the gift card
Register for the platform
To register with Bitrefill we need to go to their site and press the “Create account” button in the upper right corner.
As you can see from the image below.
At this point we will need to enter our email, a password, referral code (wmyplimq) and agree to the terms and conditions.
The code referral will entitle us to a $5 bonus in Bitcoin, so I recommend you use it.
Just as you see below.
We will receive an email with a button to press to confirm enrollment.
At this point everything will be fine, without even having to do identity verification.
Identity verification
The KYC on Bitrefill is only needed if we want to increase the thresholds of orders or amounts currently present.
The limitations for using the platform without KYC are:
- 15 orders per day
- 5,000$ orders per day
- 10,000$ orders per month
As a result, we can register to buy gift cards using Bitcoin without any particular problems.
Choose the gift card
A gift card is defined as a voucher spendable on a given platform that has a defined value of money.
If I have a 100€ gift card for ikea, I will be able to spend this amount on their site.
Once we have registered we will arrive at the main page of Bitrefill where we will find a list of all the gift cards available.
As you can see from the image below, they will be divided by categories so as to facilitate your search.
The main vouchers that can be purchased on Bitrefill are:
- Amazon
- Ikea
- Q8
- Airbnb
- Nike
When you have found the one you are interested in, simply click on it to enter the detail page.
We will also be able to use the search bar at the top to go and select one directly.
Enter the amount and add it to the cart
Once in the individual gift card screen, we can enter the amount of the order we want to go for.
For some products we can freely choose the amount, while for others we have to use the options available to us (e.g. 15€, 30€, etc.).
Below you see the detail of the Amazon voucher page, on which I set a value of C$ 250.
The automatic conversion makes them become about 0.00643021 Bitcoin to me.
We click the “Add to cart” button and the order is ready to be paid for.
Making payment
Once we have added the selected gift card to the cart, we will be faced with the choice of the payment method we would like to use.
Below is the screen where you will have to decide how to proceed.
The two ways to make the purchase are:
- With the Bitrefill account
- With an external wallet (hardware or software)
Paying with Bitrefill account
After proceeding to reload Bitrefill account, this option will light up highlighting our capital availability.
We will have to select it and follow the short instructions to confirm the order.
How to buy with an external wallet
If we click on the Bitcoin icon, the screen you see below will appear, where all the order data will be summarized.
Clicking on “Select Your Wallet” immediately above the QR Code will bring up a list of options from which we can choose the one we want to use.
This will provide us with detailed instructions for properly completing the transaction.
In each case we have to open the app where we have our funds, enter the recipient’s address and the amount exactly as we are told by Bitrefill.
I strongly recommend using the “Copy” button that will make us copy both data without risk of errors.
A few seconds after submitting the transaction, the order screen will become like the one you see below (now the instructions are in Italian, because I made them that way. But you will still be able to figure out how to get to the end of the process):
At this point we will just have to wait for confirmation from the network and the order will be executed.
In my case, after 6 minutes I saw the confirmation message appear.
Pressing the “Click here to open” button will take us to a link that says “Get your gift card.”
Receive the gift card
Pressing the button to get the gift card will open a new page with all the code to enter on Amazon.
After that I went to Amazon and entered the code. The confirmation was immediate and I could already take advantage of the 250€ within the platform.
Bitrefill referral code
In order to receive the affiliate code that you can tell your friends about, you will need to make a minimum $50 spend on the platform.
To use my code you can click this link or write what you see below:
wmyplimq
The area related to this promotion can be reached by clicking the profile button in the upper right corner and then “Referrals.”
Below you can see the steps to take and the message that is communicated when you have not yet reached the minimum threshold.
Once you activate it, however, for every friend who spends at least $50 on the platform you will receive a $5 bonus.
The App
You can also use Bitrefill via app, which can be downloaded from AppStore or GoogleStore.
The interface is similar to that found on computers and allows the usual operations to be performed.
Below we can see the three steps that take us from the home page to the creation of an order, identically to what we saw just above from pc.
Cashback on Bitrefill
On Bitrefill it is possible to receive cashback on our purchases, which is called a reward.
We will quickly understand whether or not a product entitles us to this additional income.
Just look next to the name if the wording you see below appears.
We can see that Amazon gift cards give us 1% cashback on the value of spending.
To find them we need to go to the main section of our account and we will find all the capital deposited in the various wallets.
In any case I will not be able to use it to pay higher amounts.
Let me explain: I currently have $2.64 in rewards. I can only spend them on orders that are less than that amount.
I can’t tell the platform: use those and then use another payment method.
Bitrefill Reviews
On Trustpilot Bitrefill gets an average of 4.8 stars out of 5 with 620 reviews, called excellent by the platform.
The negative reviews refer to gift card malfunctions, especially on Steam. In any case, those who made this one-star rating also claim to have used the platform for years without any problems.
As we have seen in this article, charging and purchasing management is very simple and quick.
Alternative a Bitrefill
There are many alternatives to Bitrefill, the top 3 being:
- cryptorefills.com
- bitpay.com
- coinsbee.com
They don’t have the popularity that this platform has gained over the years, so I recommend you start with this one and if you really don’t find what you need start looking elsewhere.
Concluding
If you are looking for a way to be able to spend your Bitcoins (or other cryptocurrencies) in a simple, immediate and anonymous way, Bitrefill is the platform for you.
It is a totally legal platform and it works excellently as you have seen in this article.
If you are interested in doing this kind of operation and privacy is paramount to you, I recommend that you act fast since I don’t know how long this incredible possibility will remain.
In the coming months, I fear that the need for recognition for all operations will come, and your anonymity will vanish forever.
Even if you are quiet about it but want to monetize some of your investments, we have seen that it is really simple and most importantly it works.
Also know that there are many other ways to spend Bitcoin safely and use them for everyday life.
Let me know in the comments if you were familiar with this platform or if you had already used it to carry out such transactions.
