Every crypto gift card service claims to be fast, cheap and private. The claims are cheap; the checks are not. Here is what to verify yourself, and what the answer is for PrivGift.
| Criterion | What to check | PrivGift |
|---|---|---|
| Account required | Try to reach checkout without signing up. | No account at all |
| KYC threshold | Look for an amount above which ID is requested. | None, at any amount |
| Data collected | Read the privacy policy, not the homepage. | Delivery email only |
| Assets accepted | Check whether Monero is there, not just BTC and USDT. | BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, LTC, TRX, XMR |
| Fees and spread | Compare the invoice total to the face value, not the advertised fee. | 0% service fee, no FX markup |
| Rate lock | Does the invoice fix a rate, and for how long? | Locked for the invoice lifetime |
| Refund policy | Find the exact point after which a refund is refused. | Refundable until the code is revealed |
| Region locking | Does each product state the country it is valid in? | Stated on every product page |
Two traps
First: a service can advertise "0% fees" and still take its margin in the exchange rate. The only honest test is to convert the invoice amount at a public spot rate and compare it to the face value. Second: "no KYC" sometimes means "no KYC below a threshold you will hit on your second order". Look for the threshold, not the slogan.
