Ok I'm dying to order physical bitcoin gift cards but I can only seem to find digital ones on the website. Is there a different link or did I check the wrong box on the order form? Thanks Also I got my original order redeemed online and was very impressed with the customer service. How long did yours take to arrive in your email? I've been waiting 30 minutes and am starting to get itchy... |

So not for large or cheap bitcoin orders... |

I would be interested in selling these in Cyprus, if it was possible to obtain a euro gift card.

The site is wonderful, but I'd change "Your Bitcoin Wallet ID" to "Your Bitcoin Address".

Great looking card and site too... and the whole idea is great!  But one thing, you should put currency exchange on the site, so I can know how much BTC will get after I redeem card... |

Or to rephrase: If I have 100$ card, and Mtox BTC value is 100, will I got 1 BTC or 0.9something? |

You need to absolutely up-front with your customers about any fees or differences from public exchange rates on the card, the card description on partner sites, as well as on your website. "Hidden fees" will get regulators and class action lawsuits crawling up your backside faster than you can spit. When I buy a gift card for $50 I expect to be giving $50 of value, not "about $45." I highly recommend fixing this immediately, and I will not be recommending or buying these cards until users of them (who have not read this unreferenced forum thread) know what they are getting. I really like the concept, but this issue has to be fixed. |

Yes, you need to post any fees that come up when redeeming the cards. I understand that resellers decide at what price to sell the cards. BitInstant got heat for not warning people about the ZipZap fees. |

lol $100 costing $109 but giving the customer under $100 of value...
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
that is a business model sure to fail in the retailers meeting room
you have the price tag showing $100 so that is the retailers price (the price customers pay).
the retailer needs to make a profit, so they would need to buy the cards off you for under $100 to make a profit. this is called whole sale price.
you also need to make a profit so you need to ensure the amount of bitcoin covers your profits but also meets world governments price advertising laws.
the most suitable solution is to pre buy Bitcoin whilst it is low and to hold it. so when someone in a month or 2 redeems their $100 card. the bitcoin you buy now will (hopefully be at $100 each) to cover the costs.
basically working using a reserve.
EG
cards display $100, retailer paid $90 whole sale.
you bought 1.1538BTC today using the $90. then when bitcoin reaches $100 you can give the customer 1BTC. netting you some profit.(0.1538btc)
with a great idea such as gift cards, you cannot be lazy and over charge the customer by showing one price. the retailer charges them another price and you redeem the customer an amount of bitcoin that does not relate at all to the current market price of bitcoin.
that is not how retail works.

Horrible idea. You cannot bank your business on the price of BTC going up. If it does go up, then it is more profitable to hold anyway. with a great idea such as gift cards, you cannot be lazy and over charge the customer by showing one price. the retailer charges them another price and you redeem the customer an amount of bitcoin that does not relate at all to the current market price of bitcoin.
This is a fantastic way to buy Bitcoins... I wish people were complaining about it less, because this is a way to buy Bitcoins that we previously haven't had before. And there really is a simple solution for it to prevent people from feeling like they are getting ripped off: $100* *To be redeemed at price equivalent to MtGox + 10% |

Well, this is something. That should write on the site. That, and MtGox exchange value: MtGox:78.82 +10% or even better, calculated price: Our exchange rate is: 86.702With those writing on the site, you are covered and users will know exactly how much BTC will get when redeem... |
