Thanks everyone who reported the comment. I should probably look into getting another admin or two on board.

Do they sell amazon gift cards?
They do! As well as a visa gift card you can use anywhere
Which service did you try? I never tried these, but those come to my head first https://allark.app/ https://coincards.com/
If you want to shop at amazon there're also https://monezon.com/ and https://peershop.app/
also https://anonshop.app has already been doing this for some time
@delirious_owl@discuss.online you can check https://monerica.com , there are several links in the Proxies section and the Giftcards section
Oh, I use anonshop. But the benefit to buying gift cards is that I can stack them when the price is high and use them throughout the crypto winters.
Anonshop doesn't have gift cards
Also, I tried the giftcard sites. sure, they list amazon.com gift cards, but please read the OP. When I login and try to actually add them to my cart, I get an error that they're unavailable.
The first time I did a test order (for a small amount) via coincards.com, they sent me a link to a third party service that gave me a 403. When I asked them about it, it took a few days and then they sent the card details over email. Smh
Email is insecure and they said they had no secure way to deliver the card details. I’ll never use them again.
I'll look into allark, thanks.
Whenever someone would publish their experiences with AllArk on Reddit, the thread would get "downvoted into oblivion", with some people raising concerns of them themselves using bots to do so.
I also remember seeing an email log of a user "losing" a couple of hundreds to that same entity. I thought that was on monero.observer, but cannot seem to find it now.
Maybe someone else feels inclined to dig something up, but in general, just be very careful with what people recommend in the space. Most of the time they saw it mentioned somewhere and, with best intentions, just pass it on.
Yeah I did some googling and saw 90% 5 star reviews and 10% 1 star reviews, nothing in between. Which screams fake reviews and scam.
Also read that they used their official accounts to make racist statements on reddit several times.
Do not use allark
Yeah that experience doesn't sound too great. I think with allark they don't ask for a name and email, but the fee might be higher (as last time I checked their XMR price was lower than the rates I found elsewhere)
allark
Wait, I've seen allark.io and allark.app and also it's not listed on monerica. Is this a legit service? If so, which domain is it, and how do I know I can trust it?
