Binance Gift Cards package cryptocurrency in a gift card format. You can buy a card loaded with BTC or USDT and give it to someone -- when they redeem it, they receive the crypto inside. More ceremonial than a direct transfer. Here's how to buy and redeem them. Register on Binance to use the gift card feature, and download the Binance App for the most convenient experience.
How to Buy a Gift Card
Find "Gift Card" in the Binance App homepage or feature menu. Select "Create" to enter the purchase page.
Choose the coin and amount. You can select BTC, ETH, BNB, USDT, and more, then enter the amount you want to load.
Choose a gift card design. Binance offers various themed designs -- birthday, holiday, general, and more.
Add a personal message. Write a custom greeting.
After confirming the purchase, the corresponding amount is deducted from your spot wallet, and a gift card is generated. You'll receive a redemption code and an attractive digital card image.
How to Send the Gift Card
After purchase, you can share the gift card in several ways.
Share the code directly: Copy the redemption code from the card and send it to the recipient.
Share the card image: Save the system-generated card image and send it -- it usually includes a QR code.
Share via social platforms: Binance supports direct sharing to messaging apps like Telegram and others.
How to Redeem a Gift Card
After receiving a gift card, open the Binance App, find the Gift Card feature, and select "Redeem." Enter the redemption code or scan the QR code, and after confirmation, the crypto is deposited to your spot wallet.
The prerequisite is having a Binance account. If the recipient doesn't have one, they'll need to register first.
There's no expiration date for redemption, but we recommend redeeming promptly to avoid forgetting about it.
Gift Card Use Cases
Gifts: For birthdays, holidays, weddings, and other occasions -- a crypto gift card is novel and has growth potential.
Onboarding friends: If you want to introduce someone to crypto, a small gift card is a great starting point.
Cross-border transfers: Gift cards are essentially a way to transfer crypto across borders without geographic or exchange rate limitations.
Community rewards: Distribute gift cards as prizes for community events.
How Is It Different from Direct Transfer
Functionally, gift cards and direct transfers are similar, but the experience differs. Gift cards have beautiful designs and personal messages, making them feel more like actual gifts. Plus, the recipient doesn't need to provide a wallet address, eliminating the risk of address errors.
Gift cards also don't require both parties to be online at the same time. Create the card whenever you want and share the code -- the recipient redeems at their convenience.
Fees
Creating gift cards has no fees. Whatever amount you specify is what's deducted, and the recipient receives the exact same amount.
Security Reminder
Don't buy gift card redemption codes from unknown sources. Some scammers sell already-used codes or cards created from stolen accounts. Only get gift cards from people you trust or official Binance events.
Redeem gift cards promptly to prevent others from using them first (in case the code is leaked).
Summary
Binance Gift Cards are an elegant way to give cryptocurrency. Both buying and redeeming are simple operations. Great for gifting, onboarding new users, cross-border value transfer, and more. No fees, and a more ceremonial experience than direct transfers. Just make sure to only accept gift cards from trusted sources.
