I purchased a Mastercard from Cakepay using Monero. They accepted my Monero from my private wallet and forwarded me to an outside organization to complete the transaction. The purchased card failed everywhere I’ve tried it, engaged in numerous correspondence to both Cakepay and the second organization that issued card in order to solve issue, all of which were unsuccessful. I requested a refund, DENIED by both vendors. I requested they switch out card balance for Amazon Gift Card, DENIED. I don't know where else to go but far and wide on social media. If someone from Cakepay can help resolve this problem, I can provide more details on transaction details and correspondence thus far.

As promised, Cake Pay Web is back!

If you previously logged into Cake Pay Web or Cake Pay Mobile in the past, you are the one of the first users who are invited to join the waitlist for the new Cake Pay Web!

Cake Pay Web offers prepaid cards and gift cards, just like before. Initially, the marketplace is focused on US merchants, though we have more ability to add new merchants than before. This will make it easier for us to take requests.

Unlike before, we will operate Cake Pay Web as an invite-only platform, at least for a short while. This will allow us to trial the new platform and roll out new features and products more easily.

To join the waitlist, please visit https://buy.cakepay.com, and login with your desired email. You will then be asked if you wish to join the waitlist.

Thanks for using Cake Pay!
