Sending $$$ to the USA

[beaveraddict]

This is a variation on a theme already discussed here, but I didn't find this particular iteration of it... MODS, apologies in advance but I did use the "search" function.

How does one send $$$ to the USA as discretely as possible?

This is for some "virtual play" with someone I have developed a rapport with and they would rather cut-out the hefty % paid to the website we met on. The SP says she accepts CashApp or Venmo, but neither seems to operate in Canada. Another suggestion was Amazon Gift Cards... the old "front & back" photo via text, but it begs the question if an Amazon Gift Card purchased at a 7-Eleven in Canada will be accepted by someone's Amazon.com (not amazon.ca) account in the US?

Any ideas?

TIA

haha... I'm not that sophisticated!

I'm wondering if anyone knows about setting-up NSFW Amazon accounts or what the recipient of a gift card sent electronically (ie. Amazon account to Amazon account) sees in terms of personal info?
Or if there is a work-around using CashApp or Venmo in Canada?

Why not PayPal, don't people still use PP? And when it comes to Amazon, just go the the US site and purchase and send an e-gift card in USD - if I recall, can be sent to an email address or text message. If you use Android, you can use GooglePay to send people money - obviously the person you're sending to has to also be on GooglePay.

Google Pay or PayPal weren't the options offered, but I'm just curious about the personal info someone receives if I send them an Amazon e-Gift Card?

Make up a burner Amazon account and use prepaid cards(paid for with cash while wearing a disguise)to top up the balance. ?
Pretty sure you could just buy an American Amazon e card, send it to yourself and then just forward her the GC number.

If I recall, there's really no personal info other than the message you want to include with the e-gift card. Obviously, Amazon will need your CC info (and whatever they do on the back end to verify the CC transaction) - but that info is never sent to the recipient of the gift card in any event. You're basically making an online purchase, there is some amount of info you will have to provide - in this case, Amazon will get "your info" (i.e. CC # and details to verify the transaction) - but that info is not transmitted to the recipient.

You can establish a Burner Pay Pal account and kink to pre-paid credit cards as a payment method, this works well if you are trying to be discreet with your regular CC.

Also using prepaid cards for the burner Amazon account works well. FYI don't be tempted to just buy an Amazon card and "deposit" it in your Amazon account. Amazon will not let you spend funds from a gift card to purchase an e-gift card.

I use PayPal with my international clients.

Paypal has seized entire accounts of anyone they consider illegal. Not just funds from that activity, all the funds.

Amazon gift card from 7-Eleven is best.

Yes, but my question (still unanswered) is whether a 7-Eleven gift card purchased in Canada can be added to someone's Amazon.COM account in the US?

Thanks for all the "opinions" but I'm really interested in what is tried & true? Who has done this and how ?

No. An Amazon GC must be used in the currency that it is purchased in. It might be possible to purchase a $US e-gift card though and have it sent to her via email or text.

If you sent her an Amazon GC from here she would have to use it on the Canadian site and pay the extra fees for her products cross the boarder. This is what happens to me when Americans send me US Amazon GCs... I can only use it on American Amazon. Ask her if she would be interested in Nordstorm or Honey Birdett... then you can purchase US GC's easily and without giving any of your personal info. Those are the easiest in my opinion but I still prefer PayPal.

Thanks ElectraXXX!

I guess the logical question is whether I can purchase a gift card in USD redeemable in the US? If the 7-Eleven cards won't work in the US (I just read the fine print on the back) then I assume if I open an "amazon.COM" account and buy a "print at home" gift card, that EGC# should be redeemable in the US... as GeeBeeP and Newb808 suggest?

Or I could send it directly to her email from my Amazon.com account, but (again) I would like to keep a firewall regarding personal info... although appleomac is suggesting that the recipient doesn't see much in terms of the sender's info...?

Many thanks to all of you!!!
Getting a human being from Amazon customer service on the phone is impossible to confirm all of this... but it appears that the PERB "hive mind" is much more efficient ???

I've sent a money order across borders, but you will need their full name and address to do so.

Could you not just buy stuff directly from her wishlist?
