Fees and Charges: Sending and redeeming gift cards are free of charge. Fees may apply when creating gift cards.
Expiry Policy: Gift cards created before April 2024 do not have an expiry date. For those created from April 2024 onwards, they expire after 6 months from the date of creation. You can check the expiry dates in the app gift card page by entering the 16-digit card number.
Card Features: Gift cards are not reloadable and can only be redeemed in full amount. Once redeemed, the cryptocurrency will be fully credited to your Spot or Funding Wallet. The platform supports most cryptocurrencies listed in the Funding Wallet.
Security and Transfer: Each gift card code can only be used once. When you add a gift card to your account, you become the owner. The code changes once added to your account, preventing others from using it. If you receive a gift card and want to send it to someone else, you must add it to your account first. A completely new gift card code will be generated when transferring to another user.
Card Management: You can find all gift cards you own in the marketplace. If you sent a gift card to the wrong recipient, you can choose to redeem it yourself before the recipient adds or redeems it. However, if the recipient has already added or redeemed the gift card, you will not be able to redeem it.
