Yeah, most online stores don’t accept gift cards, unfortunately. 🙁 Especially Amazon…tried to order some much needed products with Amazon cards, and they require a bank card.

IME, (on Amazon at least…and a few others I’ve tried) masked cards are usually accepted as bank cards. Gift cards are not.

I’d love to build myself a privacy-respecting online store that accepts everything from Monero to cash to Apple pay (for the general populous that doesn’t care), but I sort of lack the capital. 😅


I mean, yeah, it would be great if Amazon took Monero, but I don’t see them ever even considering that.


Ironvest still hasn’t upgraded their masked cards – looking for an alternative.
From what I understand privacy.com does not have a method of ensuring your identity is separate from your card, but IronVest does. Been using IV for a while now, but earlier this year they [put their masked cards under construction](https://ironvest-kb.groovehq.com/help/cards-notice) Which is kind of a shame because I had online purchases in mind. Is there any alternative people have found? Thanks!
