Title: (OBSOLETE THREAD) Buy practically anything online with bitcoins
Post by: Jeremy West spendbitcoins.com on July 03, 2011, 09:43:13 AM
After the selling thread was made obsolete, I wasn't sure whether my thread belonged under services or goods, as I provide a service that gets people goods. :)

At any rate, I wanted to put this here too in case anyone didn't see it under services.

spendbitcoins.com is a site that allows you to spend your bitcoins on pretty much anything you want through major retailers such as Amazon, New Egg, Barnes & Noble, Fishpond, etc (more to come).

Feel free to post here if you have used spendbitcoins.com and want to leave feedback for others to see.

Happy spending!

EDIT: I GOT THE ORIGINAL POST MOVED SO THIS THREAD IS NOW OBSOLETE :)

http://feedback.spendbitcoins.com (http://feedback.spendbitcoins.com) points to the original thread.

Oh, and if you're selling stuff, be sure to list it free on http://classifieds.spendbitcoins.com as well. Spendbitcoins.com generally gets over 1000 hits per day, so not a bad place for a free listing. :)

Is it possible to purchase a gift card from you for say £100 for 10 btc for example, then buy something on Amazon using the card as part payment and adding the rest in cash?

Or is that not how it works....

Got an amazon card yesterday from spendbitcoins.com.

Turn around time was good.  Got a follow up email shortly after my order to confirm everything.  Would recommend and use again !

Newegg gift cards suspended? Why?

Newegg gift cards suspended? Why?

Unfortunately they have been nothing but hassle from the very beginning. We added them due to popular demand while our affiliate application was still in process because it was taking them so long to approve, but we wanted our customers to have access to what they wanted. In the end, they denied our affiliate application without explanation.

When we asked for explanation they replied "please note that we reserve the right to reject affiliates for any reason. If you have any other questions, let me know." We then asked for further clarification, and they have not answered in two weeks.

Beyond this, every time we have placed an order there has been nothing but hassles back and forth and back and forth trying to verify that we indeed placed the order. They seem to have a problem with the fact that we are ordering from outside the US, require that they call us to verify, and will not call us on an international number. We thought we finally had things worked out with a supervisor, but then the problem happened again and he said that he could not help this time.

Unfortunately, as there is a lot of popular demand for ordering through them, we are going to have to terminate Newegg orders until further notice because there are a lot bigger things coming with the site and I do not have the time to spend hours on the phone trying to get orders through on a daily basis, particularly when Newegg refuses to pay us as an affiliate for all the business that we have been sending them.

You win some, you lose some.

Buy.com has approved us as an affiliate, and has been added to the site today!

btw, for your Newegg needs, check whether Memory Dealers has what you are looking for. They are at the top of spendbitcoins.com and give a 10% discount to customers who click through from spendbitcoins.com and pay in bitcoins.

Thanks!

Not a huge surprise, considering they own paypal, but eBay has rejected our application as an affiliate. :(
