Our take
Bitrefill sells gift cards that you can use as vouchers to buy things like electronics, groceries, clothing, phone refills, or flights to go on holiday. Its main selling point is ease - the fact you can virtually pay for anything with cryptocurrencies through gift cards.
Similar to a credit card, when a user buys a gift card or phone refill, they will earn a cash back reward, but in the form of the largest cryptocurrency, bitcoin. The company continues to grow by building new features to add to its appeal, such as enabling users to pay their bills and taxes with bitcoin, or integrating with Strike - the payment application - to access 5% cashback in bitcoin.
Founded in 2015, it is one of the oldest players facilitating crypto payments and hence rode the wave of crypto uptake. There are currently thousands of merchants across almost 200 countries integrated in the network, which have included brands from Amazon and Airbnb to Domino’s and Netflix.
