Vantage accepts six different prepaid gift cards. They are useful if you do not have a credit card, you want to pay in cash, or the card has been sitting in a drawer for months. The trade-off is honest: voucher payments cost more than the listed USD price. Gift cards resell on the secondary market at roughly 80 percent of face value, so we mark up to break even. If the lowest price and the fastest delivery matter most, crypto is the better option. If you need a card route, this page sorts out which one fits.

How each one works
Paysafecard
Paysafecard is a 16-digit prepaid PIN that you buy with cash. Pick one up at supermarkets (Tesco, REWE, Edeka, Carrefour), petrol stations (Shell, BP, Esso), or convenience stores that carry prepaid cards. Sold in more than 50 countries, strongest across Europe. Without a my paysafecard account you can spend up to roughly 50 EUR, 40 GBP, or 300 USD per transaction. The gotcha: an unused PIN attracts a small monthly maintenance fee starting around month 2, so do not buy more than you plan to spend. Full breakdown: Paysafecard guide.
Steam Wallet
Steam Wallet is a 15-character code that adds funds to your Steam account in your local currency. Physical and digital codes are sold at GameStop, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, 7-Eleven, CVS, Walgreens, and Amazon. The code is region-locked to the country tied to your Steam account, so a US-region card will not redeem on an EU-region account. Per Steam ToS, Wallet balance is non-refundable once added, so the moment you redeem the code it is committed. Full breakdown: Steam Wallet guide.
Razer Gold
Razer Gold is a 16-character PIN that funds a USD-denominated wallet used across thousands of games. The cleanest options are 7-Eleven in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia, or direct purchase at gold.razer.com. The wallet is USD but PINs are issued in local SEA currencies (SGD, MYR, PHP, IDR) and convert on redemption. Two ways to spend a PIN: load it to your Razer Gold Wallet, or apply it directly at a supported game's checkout. Full breakdown: Razer Gold guide.
Apple Gift Card
Apple Gift Card is the unified 16-character code that replaced the separate iTunes and App Store cards in 2021. You will find it at Apple.com, Apple Stores, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Costco, Walgreens, CVS, Kroger, Safeway, and 7-Eleven. It is country-locked to the region of your Apple ID, so a US card cannot be redeemed on a UK Apple ID. One real tip straight from Apple's own scam advisory: legitimate organizations never ask to be paid in Apple Gift Cards, so if a "tax agent" or "support rep" demands one, walk away. Full breakdown: Apple Gift Card guide.
Google Play
Google Play is a 20-character code that drops a balance into your Google Play account, spendable on Play Store content only. Stocked at Walmart, Walgreens, Target, Best Buy, Dollar General, CVS, Kroger, 7-Eleven, Safeway, Albertsons, and Dollar Tree. The country lock is the strictest of the six: a card is valid only in the country where it was purchased, and a mismatch causes redemption to fail outright. Buy it in the same country your Play account lives in. Full breakdown: Google Play guide.
Amazon
Amazon gift cards use a claim code between 14 and 19 characters and are tied to a single marketplace (US Amazon, UK Amazon, DE Amazon, and so on). Reliable retailers include CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, Safeway, Best Buy, GameStop, 7-Eleven, Whole Foods, Office Depot, and Amazon.com itself. They are not sold at Target, Walmart, Sam's Club, or Costco because those chains compete with Amazon. The balance cannot be used for Audible memberships or for Amazon Pay purchases on external sites. Full breakdown: Amazon gift card guide.
Why a voucher payment costs more than the USD price
Gift cards are not cash. They resell on the secondary market at roughly 80 cents on the dollar, sometimes less depending on brand and region, and we resell them to recover liquidity. The voucher markup is the spread that keeps the books even after that secondary sale. There is no hidden margin and no surcharge for "convenience". If you want the storefront price with no markup, pay with crypto.
Delivery time
Every voucher order goes through manual review. A staff member verifies the code, checks region and balance, and clears the order. The review usually finishes in under an hour during operating hours and may take longer overnight. Crypto orders skip this entirely and auto-deliver as soon as the network confirms.
Picking the right one
- Europe, paying in cash: Paysafecard.
- You already have a Steam Wallet balance or a Steam-region card: Steam Wallet, region match required.
- Southeast Asia, no bank card: Razer Gold via 7-Eleven SG, MY, PH, or ID.
- iPhone or Mac user with an Apple Gift Card sitting around: Apple, country must match your Apple ID.
- Android user with Play credit: Google Play, and check the card's country of purchase before redeeming.
- Amazon shopper with a card on the balance: Amazon, and confirm it was bought on the same marketplace where you want to spend it.
- Lowest price and fastest delivery: skip cards entirely and pay with crypto.
