Has anyone used this before?  Can people in the states really use a credit card to buy bitcoin?  Certainly there are very high fees for a service like this?

I checked out the site, and it is indeed very high fees.  The bitcoin rate is about 1.5% higher than Coinbase and there is an additional 7.5% of fees on top of that.  Would be much cheaper to just find someone locally and buy it, although to use a credit card I don't see any other way.
