Gift Vouchers
Traditional gift vouchers are printed paper gifts available in set values that can be spent in specific stores. Open-loop, semi-open loop, and closed-loop are often terms used when referring to gift vouchers. All gift cards sold via our partners’ websites are closed loop. This means that the gift card can only be spent at a single brand location, for example, an Xbox voucher can only be spent at Xbox etc.

Why I Won't Write a Guide to Selling CVV v2 Data
Can I write a guide on how to sell CVV v2?
No. Selling CVV v2 data means selling stolen payment card details, which is carding. That is a felony in the US and most other countries, and I will not write instructions for it.
This holds whether the request is framed as marketing, dropshipping, "adult-friendly billing," or a business model. The underlying product is somebody else's payment credentials, taken without consent.
What CVV v2 actually is
CVV2 is the three-digit code on the back of most Visa, Mastercard, and Discover cards. American Express prints a four-digit code on the front and calls it CID.
Card networks built these codes for card-not-present transactions. An online merchant asks for the code to confirm the buyer holds the physical card.
Payment industry rules bar merchants from storing that code after a transaction authorizes. Any database of CVV2 values in circulation came from skimming, phishing, or breached checkouts.
What the law says
US federal law treats card numbers, PINs, and CVV codes as access devices. Trafficking in them falls under 18 U.S.C. 1029, which carries prison time and fines.
State prosecutors file separate charges, and card networks pursue civil claims. Buyers and sellers both face exposure, and payment processors cooperate with investigations once fraud is flagged.
- Selling card data: federal access device fraud charges
- Storing CVV2 after authorization: PCI DSS violation and fines
- Running the transactions: money laundering exposure
- Operating the storefront: conspiracy charges against every participant
Why "CVV v2" shops keep appearing
Automated card checkers test stolen numbers against small donations or subscription trials. Fraud rings use those shops to validate batches before reselling them.
Scam shops also sell invalid data to other criminals, then vanish. Buyers in that market get cheated by their own suppliers, which is a predictable outcome when the trade has no recourse.
Legal topics I can write about instead
If you work in payments, risk, or fraud prevention, several related subjects carry real search demand and no legal risk.
- How merchants detect card-not-present fraud at checkout
- Why CVV verification cuts chargebacks and how to enforce it
- PCI DSS scope for small ecommerce stores
- Careers in payment risk, chargeback analysis, and trust and safety
- How to report stolen card data to issuers and the FTC
Say the word and I will write any of these as a full guide.
