Pretty interesting, I did not know about this: The method is really simple.
Find a Gamestop Gift Card on Amazon. Add it to the Wishlist. Import the Wishlist into Purse.io and wait until the order is filled. Take the Gamestop Gift Card and buy a Shell Station gas card with it!
http://cointelegraph.com/news/115149/how-to-save-25-on-gasoline-when-paying-with-bitcoinFrom my experience I have gotten up to 35% off of my Amazon purchases on purse.io. But they say 22% is the average.

It's pretty interesting indeed , I read the article this morning on CoinTelegraph and the one about Pay.on & Bitnet . Personally can't use it because simply my country is too retarded and don't know what "gift cards" are unfortuntly , still it's a good thing and it's nice to see this kind of stuff and news even with the BitcoinXT crap going on .

Really wish I could use this! Only thing better would be paying directly with bitcoin... Unfortunately Shell seems to have disappeared from my country.

Yup this is the problem in 3rd world countries, Bitcoin will be like gold for them but they cant understand it yet because of low level of education. And again shell right here dont accepts any giftcards and gamestop doesnt exist here ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

If you have a Gamestop that sells Shell gift cards it works. And can get Gamestop cards from Amazon.com

I wonder if i in the future we will see payments in the actual gas pumps, but the problem is it's known by everyone that carrying a phone number while on a gas pump station is not a good idea because explosions have happened before.

Source? There have been many reports throughout the years about cell phones causing explosions on gas stations, but no science proves it's true, so that gas station concept that emerged on the forums a few months back could perfectly well be used. BillyBobZorton: Either way that's not really an issue, as nowadays you have to go inside gas stations to pay ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

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

Then its more likely the employee made a mistake accepting gc as payment for another gc. Im pretty sure the policy is Not allowed. Just common sense here folks
