Redeeem Overview

Redeeem is a peer-to-peer(P2P) gift card crypto exchange that is located in Los Angeles, California in the United States.

It was founded in 2018 by Kyle Hill and Mike Townsend.

Kyle, a technology entrepreneur, and web developer is also the founder of HomeHero.

After Homehero, Kyle and Mike launched Redeeem to make it faster, easier, and safer for the unbanked to buy Bitcoin.

Redeeem team believes that cryptocurrencies have the potential to radically improve the lives of billions of people around our world.

Thus, one of its primary goals is to showcase the unique attributes of Bitcoin and to support and accelerate its integration into the global economy.

It is a leading peer-to-peer marketplace to buy and sell gift cards.

Every gift card is backed by the Redeeem Guarantee to help protect you from fraud.

Having gone through the overview of the exchange, ‘gift cards’ just keep popping up and one may ask: Why them? Can’t I just buy my cryptos using fiat currencies from other exchanges?

Just scroll down and I will explain to you what makes gift cards better.

…But Why Gift Cards?

You ask ‘why gift cards?’ and I reply ‘why not!’.

Gift Cards contains a specific amount of money available to be used for a variety of purchases within particular stores or related businesses.

Some of them are issued by companies /organizations and thus, can only be used in such stores while others can be used for cashback policies.

But don’t the cards amount to the same amount as my fiat currency? I mean my $100 gift card can only buy me goods worth $100 and nothing more.

Well…You are right there somehow. I say somehow because it is not exactly as it seems.

Don’t worry, I will explain further with this scenario.

Say you go on Amazon a Super Automatic Expressor Coffee machine on sale for $500 and you just want to buy it.

Now, you can go ahead and pay $500 dollars for and get your coffee machine or you can decide to use a $500 worth Amazon gift card for your purchase. Let’s say you decide to use a gift card.

So you head to redeeem.com and place a ‘Buy Order’ to get a $500 worth of Amazon gift card at $400. The order is executed and you get your $500 worth of gift card at $400.

You will now go back and get the shoe with the gift card you just purchased from Redeeem; saving yourself $100.

So, in reality, you got your Super Expressor Coffee machine for $400 instead of $500.

Yeah…so you see why gift cards are useful now, right?

Let’s move on now to learn more about this exchange and where you can get these gift cards.

1. Buy Gift Cards

Redeeem enables you to buy gift cards.

To buy gift cards, you need credit

You can only buy Credits with cryptos. You need to acquire a cryptocurrency from an external exchange if you don’t have already then use it for credit purchase on Redeeem.

Another way you can do that is to import Bitcoin from an external wallet to your Bitcoin wallet on Redeeem. From there, you can now make your Credits purchase.

• Click on ‘Buy’
• Login to your account
• Select the brand of a gift card to buy(for example, Amazon) and it displays all the offers available for that brand
• Choose the seller to buy from after checking out the details(the amount you are saving, cooling time, date order was created, delivery time, info about the seller, etc) and click on the amount to buy from the seller

If you will be placing your own Buy Order, you will provide all the needed information and conditions then wait for your order to execute.

You can also place an ad or set market updates, brand, credit, and receipts alerts.

2. Sell Gift Cards

This service helps you to sell your gift cards by placing a sell order to buyers in the market. You can also upload cards to the market on Telegram using the @RedeeemBot.

There is also the option of Bulk Import for sellers who want to sell multiple gift cards. Sellers can upload gift cards in bulk by uploading custom spreadsheets from a simple template. It takes only a few seconds depending on the size of your file.

The Earning section allows you to request Payout for your earnings. Your earnings are payments for the gift cards you sold. Redeeem requires $5 minimum for Bitcoin payouts. Enter an external Bitcoin (BTC) address and double auth code or leave address blank to receive Bitcoin to your default wallet.

All earnings from the day are calculated in USD. You can request a payout into Bitcoin at any time on the Earnings page. This policy is to save on miner fees and protect sellers from Bitcoin price fluctuations throughout the day. The maximum amount of owed penalties will be deducted from each payout. Once Bitcoin has been deposited to your wallet, it is in your sole possession.

It also contains the Rules that Sellers will follow..

3. Wallets

Redeeem also offers hosted Bitcoin wallet services.

You do not necessarily have to send crypto to this wallet to buy Credits.

Redeeem does not claim custody of these funds; always protect your wallet keys for this public Bitcoin wallet at all times.

4. Rewards

This is Redeeem’s Affiliate program where you earn 1.0% when you refer someone. The 1.0% is paid nightly in Bitcoins.

Steps to do that include:

• Sign up with redeeem.com
• Copy your unique Affiliate link from the Affiliate Page
• Once your referral signs up and completes their first trade, you will receive BTC in your wallet

The Affiliate Program rewards both sellers and buyers.

This is true in the sense that if you referred a buyer, you get 1% of all the trades he makes. So if the referred buyer bought a $100 gift card for $70, you will get $0.7 as a reward.

The same goes if you refer a seller. You will earn 1% of his daily trades.

Redeeem calculates trading volume as the total money your friend(s) spend or earn in Bitcoin, not the retail value of the gift cards.

Referring friends can place you on the Leaders board which qualifies you for other prizes.
