How do I buy gift cards with USDT, and which network should I use?

To pay with USDT, choose Tether USD at checkout, pick the network your USDT is on, and send the exact amount shown to the address on screen.

Genghis accepts USDT on ten networks, including Tron (TRC20), Ethereum (ERC20), BNB Smart Chain (BEP20), Solana and Polygon. Your code appears on screen as soon as the payment confirms on the network. We also email you a link to it. Sending on a different network from the one you picked can lose the funds, so check the network twice.

Which USDT networks does Genghis accept?

Ten, as of September 25, 2026. The checkout always shows the current list.

The Tron network cost shows on the network card and in the order summary before you pay. Your wallet or exchange may charge its own sending fee on any network. Some networks have a minimum order amount: when your order is below it, that network's card is greyed out.

Which network should I choose?

The one your USDT is already on. Genghis cannot move USDT from one network to another for you.

• Sending from an exchange: in the exchange's withdrawal screen, pick the same network you chose at checkout. Exchanges often label Tron, Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain as TRC20, ERC20 and BEP20.
• Sending from a wallet: pick the network where your wallet holds the USDT. If it sits on a network that is not in the list, move it first with your exchange or a bridge.
• Comparing costs: the sending fee comes from your wallet or exchange and differs by network, so check it before you send. On Tron, Genghis adds its network cost as well.
• Reading addresses: Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum One, Optimism, Avalanche C-Chain and Celo addresses all start with 0x and look alike. The address does not tell you the network: the network you select in your wallet does.

How do I pay with USDT, step by step?

Seven steps, from cart to code.

1. Add your product to the cart, go to checkout and enter the email address where we send your code.
2. Choose Tether USD (USDT) in the list of coins.
3. Choose the network your wallet or exchange sends from. The checkout reminds you that a transfer on the wrong network is lost.
4. Send exactly the amount shown to the address shown, by copying both or scanning the QR code. On a phone you can open the payment in your wallet app. On some networks you can also connect your wallet and sign the payment there.
5. If your wallet or exchange charges a sending fee, choose "recipient gets the full amount" or add the fee on top, so the full amount arrives.
6. Send before the quote expires. If it expires, the address stays valid: tap "Get a new quote" for the updated amount.
7. Wait for the payment to confirm. Your code appears on screen and we email you a link to it.

How long until I get my code?

Your code appears on screen as soon as the payment confirms on the network. We also email you a link to it. How long the confirmation takes depends on the coin and the network. Most orders are delivered automatically; a small share is checked by hand before delivery. Read how long a payment takes to confirm, or, if the payment went through and you see nothing, what to do when you paid but have no code.

What if I sent USDT on the wrong network?

The funds can be lost for good. Write to samantha@genghis.pro right away with the transaction hash (TxID), the network you sent on and the email address of your order, and we tell you whether anything can be done. Read what happens when USDT goes to the wrong network.

What if less USDT arrived than the amount shown?

The order does not complete on its own. This usually happens when an exchange takes its withdrawal fee out of the amount you sent. Write to samantha@genghis.pro with the transaction hash: we handle it by email, case by case. Read what happens when the amount is wrong.

Do I need an account or ID to pay with USDT?

No KYC at checkout: an email address is all we ask for. You can check out as a guest or with an account. Purchase limits apply: see the AML policy.

Can I get a refund in USDT?

Yes. Refunds within 30 days if a code fails at first redemption, arrives incomplete or never arrives, or our page showed the wrong region. Refunds are paid in USDT or USDC (ERC-20 or BEP-20) or as Genghis Points, 1 to 3 business days after approval. Read how to ask for a refund, or the full refund policy.
