CardsRelay

A privacy-coin-first gift-card store. CardsRelay sells 1,600+ gift cards, game top-ups, prepaid and mobile refills — Amazon, Steam, and the usual brand spread — paid in Monero, Zcash, Zano, or USDT. No account to create: you pick a card, pay in crypto, and the code is emailed to you (email is used for delivery only, not signup). Delivery is instant.

Privacy posture. The no-account model plus XMR/ZEC/Zano acceptance is a genuinely privacy-forward setup — it's one of the few gift-card shops leading with Monero *and* Zano rather than treating XMR as an afterthought. One jarring exception: the site loads Google Analytics and Tag Manager. For a store whose whole pitch is privacy coins, shipping Google's tracking stack is a real inconsistency worth knowing before you browse — use a hardened browser or blocker.

The main caveat — it's brand new. The domain dates to March 2026 and the store has only been live since about mid-July (~6 weeks at listing). It functions and the catalog is real, but there's no track record yet on delivery reliability, dispute handling, or longevity — the things that separate a C gift-card shop from an A one (CoinCards, Coinsbee). Custody note: like every gift-card store, it's custodial at the moment of payment — you send crypto and trust it to deliver a valid code.

Useful when. You want to spend XMR/ZEC/Zano on mainstream brands without an account, and you're willing to start small on a young service. Buy one low-value card first and confirm the code delivers and redeems before scaling up.

Graded C: a real, functional, no-account privacy-coin gift-card store — listable on function, capped at C by its ~6-week tenure and the Google-tracking surface. Path to B: a clean track record over time plus dropping the third-party trackers.
