How it works
- 1Pick a denomination above and enter the email where you want the code delivered.
- 2Pay with Bitcoin or Lightning through BTCPay. Lightning confirms in seconds; on-chain in 10 to 30 minutes.
- 3Open the email, click reveal, and apply the code to your National Book Tokens account. The order status page also keeps the code accessible.
Why buy with Bitcoin?
Crypto settles in minutes, has no chargebacks, and works across borders without card networks. No signup, no card on file, no 3DS interruption. Gift card codes are non-returnable, so the lack of chargeback risk is what lets us deliver instantly without fraud holds.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly will I receive my National Book Tokens gift card?
As soon as your Bitcoin or Lightning payment confirms (typically under a minute on Lightning, 10 to 30 minutes on-chain), the redemption code is emailed to the address you used at checkout.
Where can I redeem this card?
This card is redeemable on the National Book Tokens platform serving United Kingdom. Codes are not transferable to other regional stores.
Does the card expire?
Expiration depends on the brand and country. Most cards in our catalogue stay valid for 12 to 24 months from the issue date; the exact terms are linked in the email when the code is delivered.
Can I get a refund if something goes wrong?
Yes - if the vendor fails to deliver a working code we refund the equivalent in Bitcoin to the address you paid from. We do not refund already-delivered codes (industry standard for gift cards).
Do I need an account to buy?
No. The only thing we collect is the email address that receives the code, and Bitcoin pays for the order. There is no signup, no card on file, no recurring charge. Prices are quoted in GBP.
