Leading Cam Sites That Accept Mainstream Gift Cards
These are the top 5 cam sites that'll redeem an unused or even partially used major retailer or brand-name gift card for site credits or tokens.
Read on to find out how to use your gift card at a site and compare, at a glance, the average prices for a private cam session at each site, as well as the special offers and unique features available at each platform.
Gift cards accepted at the above sites include those issued by major names including; Walmart, eBay, Apple, Target, Starbucks and around 100 more companies. However, if you're accessing the sites from outside the USA, this option isn't available. Currently the gift card payment method only appears if you're logging into the platform from within the US.
How To Trade-in A Gift Card
All five webcam platforms listed above feature not only stunning cam models, but HD streaming options and a range of show options from private 1on1 sessions to multi-viewer experiences that let you get up close and intimate with some of the top cam performers for very little money.
However, when it comes to purchasing site credits and tokens using a gift card, you'll need to manually go into the payment page at each site and choose the gift card option. Before doing this you'll have to sign into the site as a member. All the sites offer a free, quick and easy membership registration process and don't require any personal details over and above an email, screen username and a password of your choosing.
Once you've registered you'll then need to click on the link to purchase site credits/tokens (this is normally located on the top right of the homepage). Most sites automatically choose credit card as the payment method. To change this to a gift card redemption, you'll have to scroll through the payment method options and select the Gift Card Validation option or the icon depicting a gift card.
By doing this, a choice of cards that can be redeemed will appear, you simply select your card brand and follow the instructions. Most sites use a third party to process the card (such as PayGarden). You can then see how much value is left on the card and decide whether to use it all or just a portion to purchase site currency (credits or token).
Benefits Of Using A Gift Card
One of the major benefits of using a gift card to pay for some top-rated webcam sessions is the added layer of anonymity they provide. The sites have no record of any personal information or financial details. There's no way to link your online activity back to your real world persona.
It also places a hard stop on financial expenditure as you can only buy as many credits as the dollar worth (minus the processing fee) available on the card.
Extras and Unique Features
- CamSoda gives the viewer a free video recording of a model's performance in a private cam session they pay for. It's also one of very few video chat sites where you can open your cam feed in a free webcam room and go C2C without having to pay for a private show.
- LiveJasmin has a prize wheel that you can spin and land on prizes including 99% off your first purchase of site credits. If you do decide to use a credit card to boost the dollar amount you can spend - the site gives out 10 free credits for validating the card's details (even without making a purchase).
- Stripchat has some rooms that offer free recordable private cam sessions. A video of the exclusive show can be stored in your Stripchat account where you can re-watch it as often as you like at no extra cost. It's also currently the only online site that has rooms with virtual reality streaming capabilities (though you must own a VR headset in order to fully enjoy the experience).
- LivePrivates gives you the chance to win up to 100% extra credits on your first purchase (including purchases made using a gift card). Some of the A-lister cam girls even host time-limited sales. If you see a Sale sticker on a snapshot, it means the performer has slashed her prices to the site minimum for 48 hours.
- Flirt4Free gives you 55% off of your first purchase of any credit package using this link. In addition, you get 120 free credits when you verify a credit card as a payment option, no purchase required. It'll also let you negotiate the per minute rate with some of the stunning semi-pro to pro cam performers. If you pre-book a block session, the models will often cut you a break and discount their rates.
The below table shows at a glance how much you can expect to pay per minute for a private cam session. LiveJasmin, LivePrivates and Flirt4Free have some cheaper options if you want some low-cost fun where the girls will bare it all.
