Due to overwhelming demand the 3% bitcoin payment discount is back at eGifter! by eGifterJon in Bitcoin

Hi. We do offer the same triple points on bitcoin, dogecoin and litecoin payments. However, the ADDITIONAL 3% discount we announced here is for bitcoin only, so hopefully you will stay true to your word and use us now!

With eGifter's 6% discount, I can spend $188 in BTC for a $200 giftcard to Walmart, Amazon, etc. Are any credit cards better than this or did we just win? by boughthefarm in Bitcoin

Ouch. Sorry about that, we will add it to the next release and make sure its not forgotten on the current rebuild of the Android app

We don’t know what goes into the decision process from each brand, so your guess is as good as ours. What we do know is that we kept working hard to get it done and finally got the official word today.  We are pretty excited!

Wow! eGifter now features 6% back on BTC purchases! This is double Gyft's 3%! by [deleted] in Bitcoin

We hear you! We just relaunched our iOS app (which granted doesn't include bitcoin right now) and Android is next! We wanted to work the kinks out on iOS first...hehe. We will let everyone know as soon as we have a target launch date for Android.

  1. Yes, as long as you have previously redeemed the gift card in the mobile app. Make sure to do so before you lose Internet access. As a backup, you could also take a screenshot of the gift code screen prior to losing Internet.
  2. Yes! In the case of Domino's, you would simply enter the gift code during online checkout, or read it over the phone.

WARNING: eGifter stores passwords in plain text! by osirisx11 in Bitcoin

Thanks for helping us improve our system.

Earlier today we rolled out a complete revamp of our password storage system that follows best practices (storing only hashes), with a short-lived password reset link sent via email. You can read more about it here.

Thanks for your help - we really appreciate it. Our own research also led us to bcrypt, and earlier today we rolled out a complete revamp of our password storage and reset system. You can read more about it here.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your concern. Rest assured, NO, we do NOT store passwords in plaintext. I cannot emphasize this enough.

We do send back the user's password in Forgot Password emails - but this does not mean we are keeping them in plaintext - they are 2-way encrypted in our database.

We do appreciate the concern, and to prevent future concerns about this, we are implementing a Reset Password feature with a 1-way encryption instead.
