My first AMAZON giftcard payed with STEEM/SBD

This platform is getting better and better everyday! So many great projects started in the end of 2017 and 2018 is no different. For other great projects, than steemgiftcards please read till the end! But now to my experience with this great

So I first heard of steemgiftcards yesterday on the german steemit Discord Channel and it really sounded to good to be true, but you have to try it out, to know better. So I made some research, but couldn't find much about other people trying it out, since it just started in January. I only found @aggroed s Post about it, which is why, I want to make it a little more public to the german community, there is a german explanation at the bottom.

But now let us go through all the buying steps together...

First you have to decide which giftcard you want to buy. For the US market there is a bigger range, but also the european market is getting its share. I went for a 100$ amazon giftcard in germany + little extra for processing & transfer fee.

Then you have to add the card you want to your cart, fill out the required information as usual. Side information, the email address you type in here, is the email you will get your code send to.

After this procedure, you can decide on your payment method. Next to steem and sbd, you can also pay via bitcoin and litecoin. I have not tried these payment methods out yet, but maybe I will give it a try.

Last step was to connect via steemconnect by busy.org (With the help of steemconnect, you can build your apps on the Steem blockchain, as far as I know, but please correct me if I'm wrong).

After the payment went through, it took about 2 hours to get the code via email, don't know if it is completely automatically or send out by person. For me personal, I was scared at first and thought my sbds are now gone. But in the end I was not disappointed! Now I can do some shopping for my drone of course, what else...

Wie funktioniert das alles?

1. Zunächst müsst ihr die Steem.Cards Webseite besuchen
2. Nun wählt ihr eure Gutscheinkarte aus, in dem Fall die Amazonkarte, da es is bis zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt keine anderen für den deutschen Markt gibt
3. Geht zum Einkaufswagen, um euere Bestellung abzuschließen
4. Nun könnt ihr die Zahlungsmethode wählen, wählt steem oder sbd
5. Ihr werdet nun zu steemconnect weitergeleitet, um dort die Zahlung zu tätigen
6. Und fertig ist das Mondgesicht oder Happy Face!
7. Abwarten ist angesagt...

Zwei Stunden, hat es bei mir gedauert, bis ich die email mit dem linkcode erhalten habe.
