I've had that one bookmarked for a while but haven't tried it yet. Sounds useful

I'm more of a 'Hodlr' though. I've spent very little of my cryptocurrencies. In fact I like to buy more when I can, in addition to my mining earnings, which I also 'hodl'. I believe all fiat is ultimately on a path to zero. Inflation, government manipulation and corruption make state-run currencies unsustainable in the long-term. Cryptocurrencies are the future.

I have used this (UK-based) site a couple of times to buy gift cards however: https://giftoff.com/gift-cards

A couple more that I've bookmarked but yet to try:

I understand it's not for hodlers but if you want to buy something on Amazon anyway and you can get 15%+ discount it could be worthwhile to buy BTC/BCH just for the savings. And by doing it you would increase use of crypto and help it drive forward.

Very true

That's the main reason I like to try such services, and the only reason I have occasionally purchased stuff using cryptocurrencies (albeit mainly mining hardware). Well, that and the fact it's so much easier/cheaper to make a payment internationally using crypto.

Just a bit more feedback about purse.io Placed another order on Sunday with a max 33% discount, somebody picked it up on Wednesday and it arrived Wednesday, then did another order with 33% discount today, somebody picked it up couple of hours later and stuff should be arriving tomorrow

Wow. That's pretty fast delivery for a 33% discount. Might have to give that a try

What type of things do you get that levels of discount on, sounds too good to be true which would normally have me running but if you have had the delivery then it must be ok and I do like the idea of promoting cyrpto use
