Buying a streaming card for a country I do not live in

I got burned once buying a streaming card for the wrong country, so here is the lesson for anyone doing crypto top ups.

I buy credit on BuyGiftCards and then pick the card, but the first time I grabbed a region that did not match my account and the code simply would not redeem. Now I always confirm the card is issued for my country before I pay, since a lot of streaming brands are country specific and the site sells many of them across different regions.

So the honest takeaway, the crypto in, code out loop is smooth and fast, but region is on you. It is a store and not an official reseller, discounts are up to numbers that vary by brand, and once a code is tied to the wrong country you are stuck with it.
