In order to make things even more interesting for existing Dash users and to attract the new ones, Dash has announced to offer DashBack. DashBack can be considered as an automatic crypto rebate which will be offered to users as a reward for every gift card they buy through this marketplace.
Apart from that, users can also stand a chance to win additional DashBack when they purchase gift cards from any of the participating online retailers on Dash Gift Card marketplace. However, the additional DashBack is available with only a few selected retailers and for a limited period of time.
This online marketplace of gift cards can be thought of as an extension to the renowned eGifter marketplace where eGifter will serve both the merchants as well as the users. While this gift card platform will provide support services to the Dash users out there, it will record and handle the required terms, conditions, and redemption instructions for all the merchant partners.
The CEO of Dash Core Group, Ryan Taylor thinks of this marketplace as a huge win for their community. He said that their marketplace would let users safely and easily spend their crypto at multiple online retailers. Continuing further, Taylor stated that their goal has been to fill the gap that exists between the digital currencies and their mainstream adoption via easy, secure and fast payment solutions. As per Taylor, Dash’s very own marketplace is a big step taken on the right path.
