Shell loves when you spend almost a full dollar more on their gas.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

I was having doubt about the reversiblity of the Shell gift card. Since the vast majority of people have a lot of FUD about Bitcoin, I can see a problem down the line.

Signatures? How about learning a skill... I don't care either way. Everybody has to make a living somehow.

OP did you actually try it?

Because i know lots of stores, any I've been to, would not let you use store giftcard to buy other service or store giftcards. Basically they dont accept giftcard as a payment when you buy giftcard.

Case in point: Homedepot has a policy clearly at the cashiers that giftcards can not be purchased using voucher store credit....etc.

Think about it, it makes sense doesnt it. Because the store does not want they revenue stream to another chain store.

So I'm shocked that Gamestop let you do that.... Unless Gamestop chain is owned by Shell
I know I have previously used a gamestop gift card to buy other gift cards, so I can vouch that that at least will work.

How can the shell gift card be reversible? You're getting the gamestop code sent from amazon, and purchasing the shell card yourself at a gamestop?

Exactly, the Amazon store that sells Gamestop cards would have to be a scammer. At which point, they get dropped as an Amazon store and you can have the person that purchased it, reverse his payment.

Shell would have to scam all Gamestop stores if they were to be reversing cards sold at Gamestop stores.

The only way it could reach the initial person getting the bitcoins is if you get the code e-mailed to you by the purchaser. Then they can just go to a Gamestop with that code before you and use it. Most people on Purse have things shipped so that you have a paper trail of a tracking code. And people also have reputation on Purse.

The only thing that would stop this from working is if Gamestop puts out a warning to all employees to not sell gift cards for Gamestop cards. Which is likely if it becomes widespread and popular.

But, Amazon also sells Southwest Airlines cards. So you can get 25% off on Southwest Airlines flights using Bitcoin as well.

First seastead company actually selling sea homes: Ocean Builders https://ocean.builders  Of course we accept bitcoin.
