Did I get scammed? Very good service.

They don't accept standard forms of… They don't accept standard forms of payment (i.e., credit card, paypal, etc.) You either have to do some e-check and give them bank information (no thanks) or you have to buy cryptocurrency through a convoluted and suspicious process (no thanks), transfer the cryptocurrency to your cardbazaar account, all to save a paltry 5-10% on a gift card. They say the process takes 3 minutes. Reality: at least 10-15 minutes. Simply not worth the risk imo.

Not a good option if you are planning… Not a good option if you are planning on using ACH transfers to buy gift cards here. They sold $50 gift card only to come back and say that the card was not valid; subsequently another gift card, which also had much lower balance than the advertised value and lowered the discount significantly! There are rarely any gift cards available and by the time you transfer money to buy your gift card of interest, that card is gone and your money is stuck, as you can’t transfer it back to your bank account nor get a refund!

First time ... Perfect! This was my first time using it. I sent some Bitcoin to deposit had to wait about 10 minutes but then I was able to purchase my gift cards at a 10% savings. Unfortunately the Bitcoin had depreciated in value in the meantime. That was the only drawback. Once the money was deposited the gift cards were immediately available upon purchase. I printed them out and used them in store along with a coupon

Worries about payment issue - resolved It appeared that there was an issue with the blockchain confirmations, which caused the 15 minute payment window to be missed. However, when the payment was confirmed, the BTC was credited to my account, and I was able to use those funds for my purchase immediately. Big relief! Thank you!
