Please check your card balance to make sure you have sufficient funds for your order. Non-reloadable prepaid gift cards purchased at certain locations may have 1-2 hour activation delays which are completely out of our control. You should avoid these locations! Some non-reloadable prepaid gift cards require activation by phone or online registration after purchase. American Express branded gift cards sold at many locations tend to have activation delays. If you’re certain your card is active and has sufficient balance for your order, please contact the card issuer.
Great question! Unfortunately this can sometimes be difficult to do. You can start by trying to speak with a manager at the location where the gift cards are sold. You could also try calling the gift card company and asking about the location you’re interested in. Make sure to be polite and courteous when asking for assistance with prepaid gift cards.
Oh no! You must have the gift card receipt to complete your order with BitDepot. Many locations where prepaid gift cards are sold will reprint your purchase and activation receipts for you if you return with your card and politely ask a manager.

Sorry for the confusion! You received the USD amount of your order with our fees deducted. The exact amount of cryptocurrency you receive is displayed on the website at all times throughout your order.
The reason why it appears that way is because BitDepot charges a fee which is included in the exchange rate displayed, so you receive the USD amount you ordered minus our fees. You will always receive the exact amount of cryptocurrency you order, but fluctuating markets may cause the USD value to change. The exact amount of cryptocurrency you will receive is displayed on the website at all times throughout your order.
The price and amount of cryptocurrency you will receive is dynamic as the market fluctuates every minute. Don't worry, we display the amount of Bitcoin and the USD value of the Bitcoin you will recieve throughout your whole order.
