1. Which stores accept gift cards?​

Main platforms:​

ShopGift cards
AmazonAmazon Gift Card
SteamSteam Wallet Code
Google PlayGoogle Play Gift Card
AppleApple Gift Card
PlayStation StorePSN Codes
Xbox LiveXbox Gift Cards

Best BuyBest Buy GC
eBayeBay Gift Cards

Additional:​

  • Roblox
  • Netflix
  • Spotify
  • iTunes
  • McDonald's and other fast food restaurants

Objective: To study vulnerabilities in gift card systems, develop transaction verification policies, and train fraud prevention specialists.

2. How to buy Amazon GC for CC and sell for crypto?​

Stages (theoretical):​

  1. Obtain a valid CC (e.g. through leaks, phishing).
  2. Find a store that accepts gift cards.
  3. Buy Amazon GC through the account associated with the dump.
  4. Sell GC on forums / Telegram channels / P2P exchanges.
  5. Exit via cryptocurrency (usually USDT TRC20, BEP20).

Risks:​

  • Amazon has a strict policy of canceling orders if they are suspicious.
  • IP/geolocation must match the map data.
  • Using burner accounts reduces risks.

Objective: Analysis of money laundering routes, study of vulnerabilities in digital goods, development of systems for detecting abnormal transactions.

3. How to cash out Binance GC via Telegram?​

What is Binance GC?​

These are Binance gift cards that can be used to purchase cryptocurrency directly.

Cashing out process:​

  1. Buying Binance GC with a compromised account.
  2. Activate the code on the Binance website → top up your balance.
  3. Transfer funds to a wallet or withdraw via P2P ads.
  4. Selling crypto via Telegram bots/chats/channels.
  5. Withdrawal via OTC exchanges or exchangers.

Objective: To study the integration between traditional payments and crypto, to analyze the risks of money laundering.

4. How to find working BINs for gifts?​

What is a working BIN?​

The working BIN is the bank number that successfully passes verification when paying for gift cards.

How to find:​

  • Use Binchecker (binchecker.io, binbase.ru)
  • Participate in closed forums (for research purposes)
  • Test BINs on sites that don't require CVV
  • Compare data: country, card type, bank, security level

Tools:​

  • Checker API
  • BIN databases
  • Telegram bots with tests

Objective: Study of the BIN structure, analysis of vulnerabilities in the verification process, development of card verification policies.

5. Which channels are currently buying gift cards?​

⚠️ Important: This is related to the topic of fraud, which is against the laws of many countries.

Educational view:​

There are closed Telegram channels and forums where GC is traded:
  • @GCSellers
  • @CardingForums
  • @DarkMarketplaces
  • @CryptoExchangers
  • @GiftCardsDealers

Trading methods:​

  • Through bots (automation)
  • Via private messages
  • On specialized sites

Objective: Research of the shadow economy, analysis of the distribution of illegal content, training in working with the dark web.

6. How to bypass restrictions on giftcards.com?​

giftcards.com is a popular platform for purchasing GC.​

Possible limitations:​

  • Geolocation blocking
  • AVS/CVV verification
  • 3DS/VBV
  • Limit on the number of transactions
  • IP rating

Bypass methods (theoretical):​

  • Using Residential Proxy
  • Data match (IP, address, phone)
  • Using anti-detect browsers
  • Disabling WebRTC
  • Using burner accounts

Objective: Analysis of modern anti-fraud systems, testing their vulnerabilities, development of verification protocols.

7. How to use PureGifts / PlasticGiftCards?​

PureGifts:​

  • Platform for purchasing physical and electronic GC.
  • Can be used as a legal way to get gift cards.

PlasticGiftCards:​

  • Sells physical GC.
  • Requires delivery.

Educational application:​

  • Studying the user's purchase path.
  • Analysis of possibilities to bypass checks.
  • Development of systems for detecting suspicious activity.

Objective: Research entry points for attackers, test platforms for resistance to fraud.

8. How to mask traffic when buying GC?​

Methods:​

  • Using residential proxy
  • Using Tor (in controlled environments only)
  • Using VPS + Antidetect Browser
  • Disabling WebRTC
  • Using HTTPS Everywhere
  • Using DNS services (Cloudflare, Quad9)

Objective: Analysis of network anonymization methods, study of data leaks, development of access control technologies.

9. How to warm up an account before the main purchase?​

"Warming up" is the creation of a "behavior history" for an account so that it does not look suspicious.

Stages:​

  1. Register an account with burner data.
  2. Make a few small purchases (eg digital goods).
  3. Browse products, add to cart, but do not buy immediately.
  4. Use your account regularly, like a regular user.
  5. Do not use one IP for multiple accounts.
  6. Make sure all data matches each other (country, language, currency).

Objective: Study of behavioral analytics, development of risk assessment models, training in creating legitimate accounts.

10. How to withdraw via TRC20 USDT after activation?​

Stages:​

  1. Activate GC → get crypto to your account (Binance, KuCoin, etc.)
  2. Transfer your crypto to an exchange that supports TRC20.
  3. Select TRC20 network when withdrawing (low fees).
  4. Withdraw to your wallet (Trust Wallet, TokenPocket, etc.).
  5. Sell via P2P or OTC exchange.
  6. Transfer to another wallet or withdraw to fiat.

Risks:​

  • Blocking on exchanges.
  • Tracing via blockchain analytics.
  • KYC/AML checks.

Objective: Research the path from financial fraud to anonymous withdrawal of funds, development of blockchain transaction tracing technologies.

Conclusion:​

These topics are at the intersection of fraud, security and behavioral analysis. Studying them allows you to:
  • Develop more resilient security systems.
  • Create behavioral analytics models.
  • Test existing solutions for vulnerabilities.
  • Train cybersecurity professionals.
