Using crypto for travel has become increasingly popular due to the many advantages it offers:
Decentralised payments: Unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies are decentralised, meaning you can make payments without relying on banks or third-party institutions.
Lower transaction fees: Cryptocurrencies often come with lower transaction fees compared to credit card payments, especially for international purchases.
No exchange rates hassle: When booking international flights with crypto, you don't have to worry about fluctuating exchange rates, saving you time and money.
Cryptorefills, a pioneer in enabling payments with crypto for gift cards, mobile top-ups, and more, is now making it possible to book flights worldwide using crypto. Here are some key reasons why you should consider booking your next trip with us:
Currently, due to the short expiration times associated with flight bookings, you can only use stablecoins like USDT and USDC to pay for flights at Cryptorefills. This ensures faster transaction processing and reduces the risk of price fluctuations affecting your booking.
Cryptorefills strives to offer a fee-free experience when booking flights with cryptocurrency. However, minor blockchain transaction fees (gas fees) may apply, depending on the cryptocurrency you use.
Once your payment is confirmed on the blockchain, the flight booking is processed immediately. Typically, this takes only a few minutes, but it may vary based on the cryptocurrency's network activity.
Refunds are subject to the airline’s cancellation policy. In the event of a cancellation, refunds will be issued in the form of crypto, and the amount will be based on the current exchange rate at the time of refund.
