Are you sure is valuable to add the "gift card" concept to the project communication?
Gift card are usable only at a specific store, you can use Bitcoin everywhere it is accepted.
In the Bitcoin ecosystem gift cards are used as a proxy to spend BTC where it is not accepted, instead I suppose you aim to give BTC to people so they can use them directly.
Someone could misunderstand the project real value... :)

Great feedback, thanks! Yes we'll give BTC so people can use them directly, and we'll incentivize self-custody.
Our goal is to make companies like swagbucks.com offer BTC payouts instead of Amazon US gift cards/Paypal. We think these companies' backend are integrated with APIs to generate these gift cards. We picked "gift cards" as a wording on our solution as we think it would make it easier to sell the idea to companies like Swagbucks.
But after posting and seeing quite a few misunderstanding, we'll certain re-think on the wording.
TBH, we're engineers, terrible with copy and english is not our native language, so it's been quite a ride :)
