Hi, there are many initiatives like this one. A Bitcoin is not a currency. It's not a commodity neither. There is a gray area around its status. I would say that travelforcoins.com founders are taking a risk : their website is legit until a law is voted to regulate the Bitcoins...

My opinion is that these guys are note really providing a service, they are trying to acquire bitcoins hoping the its value will go up...

It certainly looks pretty, but I'm inclined to believe that tony is right.  I wouldn't necessarily chance it.

unless you intend to make a very small buy and then report back the findings as a blog post or something.

i dont see any profit to be made for them.
the fee($2) is just too small.
and even their exchage rate is much higher than mt.gox. now at $135.

Just came across this thread.... Thanks guys. haha.

Well, FWIW, travel for coins is owned by the same company that owns giftsforcoins, pizzaforcoins, and billpayforcoins.

Here is some reddit threads of happy experiences. I would urge you to find negative reviews anywhere as we have never had an unhappy customer....
