Title: Americans: Spend bitcoins at Kroger group of stores
Post by: Jeremy West spendbitcoins.com on March 18, 2012, 09:35:35 AM
Due to popular demand, we've just added the Kroger group of stores to Spend Bitcoins. Order a physical Kroger group gift card at http://spendbitcoins.com (just click "convert bitcoins" at the top of the site and choose Kroger).

Happy spending!

And in case the name Kroger doesn't ring a bell, it is the company that operates Ralph's grocery stores, Fry's (grocery, not electronics), Food 4 Lees, Fred Meyer, and more.  Bitcoin converted to these USDs now can be spent alongside the $90 billion of retail spending occuring at Kroger stores annually.

They also have a reloadable VISA prepaid debit card.  I wonder if these Kroger gift cards from SpendBitcoins can be used to load funds (or buy a re-charge card) for loading onto the VISA.

if your lucky enough to have a frys with a gas station you can use the gift card to buy fuel for your human transport!

The site looks way spiffier now than I remember it. Good job!

Whoa. Fancy. Someone's catering to a b&m store that's actually within 100 miles of my residence. Meijer, next? :o

Fantastic question! We make some from people shopping on our affiliate links, particulary Amazon, and we make the rest by reselling the bitcoins anonymously at a premium in Australia (see the "Buy Bitcoins" tab).

Oh, and we get cashback on our Amazon credit card as well. :)

EDIT: Also, you can pay us for a premium listing on the "Places that accept bitcoin" page (or you can list yourself for free non-premium!)

If anyone in this thread has one of the above-mentioned prepaid cards I have a $370 recharge for them purchased by accident that I would be willing to trade for btc.
Should have been a greendot but wrong kind was purchased.
