Title: Tesco UK GBP £100 gift card for Gox +7% Post by: jago25_98 on August 29, 2012, 11:46:43 AM Mt.Gox GBP spot rate + 7% @ time of transfer for ~6 confirmations.
Postage has to be recorded to a UK address. Special delivery is currently £5.90. 2nd class recorded is currently £1.45 but you only have £46 insurance with that. i.e. today £100 = £107 for the fee, £112.90 for the insured postage x 7.1011 Gox rate = 15.7722043064 BTC Also, I reserve the right to withdraw the offer and reverse in the event of wild rate swings >30% Tesco sell all sorts of things and everyone's got to eat so I hope this is a helpful cashout option now for UK people, especially with Intersango in flux & ID requirements and charges from Gox. -j Title: Re: Tesco UK GBP £100 gift card for Gox +7% Post by: Shadow383 on August 29, 2012, 12:02:07 PM Mt.Gox GBP spot rate + 7% @ time of transfer for ~6 confirmations.

I think it's a fair point. 7% isn't ideal but I think it could be reliable and the best option we have right now?
I'm skeptical of the Bitinstant card. Will it come to pass and will it remain available? I had held out for the ArumXchange card that was similar and it ended up getting closed before I had a chance to even test it. I ended up ~£30 down on that anyway. I figured I don't think I'd want the risk for much less unless I was doing it in a charitable way to help people out. |
