as for bitrefill i can't comment on the fee issue, but did you really see a fee of at least $1500 (100 times the minimum gift card value) because that seems unrealistic?
ps. checking the site it seems like the smallest default one is $200 and they charge $202 (only $2 fee) or 0.017781BTC. and smallest custom one is $10 which they charge $10.10 or 0.00088900BTC
Thanks for helping to solve an earlier problem with my wallet!
I’m sure the Bitrefill glitch is connected with this note that appeared: “for processing without confirmations we require a transaction fee of at least 6 sat/vbyte”. The solution is probably to confirm the transaction, but I don’t know how to do that. I have a web source that explains how to do it on a phone, but I’m using a laptop.
BTW the fee was actually $4000 for a $40 gift card.
