Fold

How does Fold work?

Fold allows you to earn bitcoin as cashback when you shop at retailers with your credit card or bitcoin wallet. Sync your credit or debit card or transfer BTC from your bitcoin wallet into a digital gift card on your phone and receive bitcoin cashback instantly. Once you’ve made your payment, you can find your brand-specific gift card barcode or code in the “My Cards” view in your Fold account.

When you’re ready to use it, select the card you’d like to use on your phone and scan the barcode in store at the register or input the alphanumeric code at checkout to complete the payment. If the retailer isn’t able to scan the barcode on your phone, they can enter the numeric code accessible in the card details menu.
