Title: Gift Card Help! Post by: Kansattica on August 16, 2011, 09:01:41 AM Okay, so I've stayed up until 3 AM local time trying to get a Visa gift card turned into Bitcoins. I think I can do it through PayPal or Moneybookers, but nobody likes those. Help, please!

At the current moment I don't think there are any official sites to change a visa gift card into a Bitcoin... You're going to have to find an individual to exchange it with. Go to #bitcoin-otc on freenode. (That's IRC, you can google mibbit (a web service) to use it easily). Or maybe someone wants it and will see it here. *shrug*Title: Re: Gift Card Help!

If there's another service that lets me use my actual debit card, I'd love to hear about it.

Too many users have had troubles with it. I'd suggest using ExchB (http://exchb.com/en/r/tattle) and simply depositing straight up cash at a Wells Fargo. Title: Re: Gift Card Help!
