Discover a faster way to get gift cards - CoinGate delivers your codes directly to your inbox instantly for card payments, within minutes for credit cards, mobile wallets, and crypto, and within 1–3 days for SEPA.
In short
Card payments (credit/debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay) deliver your gift card code almost instantly - usually within seconds.
Crypto payments typically deliver within a few minutes, depending on blockchain confirmation times.
SEPA bank transfers take longer - your code is sent once the bank transfer is received and confirmed.
Delivery times by payment method
Credit/debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay
These payments are confirmed instantly. You should receive your gift card code by email within seconds of completing the payment. You'll also see the code on the order confirmation page.
Cryptocurrency
Crypto payments need at least one blockchain confirmation before your code is released. This usually takes a few minutes, but it can vary depending on network congestion and the specific cryptocurrency you used.
Bitcoin payments may take 10-30 minutes during busy network periods. Litecoin and stablecoins like USDC on faster networks are usually quicker.
SEPA bank transfer
SEPA transfers can take 1-3 business days to arrive. Your gift card code will be sent as soon as the transfer is received and confirmed on our end.
SpectroCoin
Payments made via SpectroCoin are typically processed within a few minutes.
Where to find your code
Your gift card code is delivered to the email address you entered at checkout. If you don't see it in your inbox, check your spam or junk folder. The code is also displayed on the order confirmation page right after payment.
Frequently asked questions
I paid but haven't received my gift card code - what should I do?
First check your spam or junk email folder. If it's not there and it's been more than 30 minutes (for crypto) or a few business days (for SEPA), contact our support team with your order details.
Can I get my gift card code faster with crypto?
You can speed things up by choosing a cryptocurrency with faster confirmation times, like Litecoin or USDC, instead of Bitcoin.
Is there a way to see my code without waiting for the email?
Yes. Your code is also shown on the order confirmation page immediately after payment is confirmed. Keep that page open if you'd like instant access.
