I am not talking about credit cards given out by banks, but rather prepaid credit cards, such as VISA, maestro or american express, bought as gift cards with a certain value of cash loaded onto them. They cannot be topped up with funds, and lose their value over time. You can only spend the amount of money loaded onto the card in the first place.

Hmm yeah, ive seen a website which exchanges with a 30% fee... im not going to be exchanging large amounts of money, so anything with a max 10% fee would be ok. Has anyone heard of bitcoin gift cards and whether you can place the bitcoins right into your wallet? Also, how exactly would i be able to 'send' the cash via a service such as moneygram to convert it into bitcoins?

Hi, im new to the forums and bitcoin. Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but it seems to be the most suitable one.

Anyway, i was wondering whether its possible to obtain bitcoins from a prepaid credit card. These are usually sold under a gift card section in the shop, and theyre usually a visa or american express card where i live, with different values (i live in the UK). I have checked coinmama.com and they said they do not accept any form of gift card. I have also heard of bitcoin gift cards, but i dont think these are sold around here.

If anyone knows of a service that does this or whether its possible at all, any help would be appreciated.
