You will see verification, tap on it and proceed to complete your kyc with either voter’s card, NIN, international passport etc.

While on the homepage or dashboard, click on Add > you will be asked to select a payment method i.e. how you intend funding the Airtm wallet, select Gift Card from the options available > on the next page, you will be asked to select the type of gift card, it is on this page you should select either amazon, iTunes, Google play etc.
If you select Amazon, you will be asked to select from either digital card or a physical card. Your choice is dependent on the gift card you have. After selecting one of the options, proceed to the next page to select the number of cards you intend selling.
If you have just one $5 – $1000 card, you can select one digital card. But if you have $5 in 6 places, go for the more than 5 option. But if you have less than five gift cards, select the 2-5 option and proceed.
On the next page, you will be asked to enter amount you intend funding your wallet with. You’re to enter the gift card amount, then the system will display what it will be in USDC. As we all know gift card is never same rate as crypto, so don’t go expecting your $5 Amazon gift card to be equal to $5 usdc. You can check the difference in the Screenshot below
You can either accept and confirm the transaction or cancel and go back to your dashboard. If you accept, the next page would be the system looking for available buyers or people who wish to buy the gift card you want to sell.
Wait till You’re matched and then go to the chat description of the transaction and paste the gift card claim code if it’s a digital card and submit the code to Airtm as well on the confirmation page i.e. after you’ve sent it to the buyer via the chat section.
