HAhaha, I feel like this thread is going to turn this forum into a bot of spammers. I don't think this is the best way to approach it. Mass spamming different companies. How about making emails with more substance, like offering bitcoins for their service, actually asking to buy sommething, instead of just suggesting?

I emailed a few of these asking politely for them to add Bitcoin as a payment method.
Let us know if you get any replies

Sounds like you didn't read the first post I already stated that arguments should be presented with eloquence The forum will only become spammers if they follow your lead in not reading before joining in

Many companies have these suggestion areas for customers to vent and nothing ever changes. Some companies take these very serious and only a few similar requests are needed to get them to give real weight to the request... Assuming we all just write a short and sweet request in our own words to these companies, I don't see any harm or bot like reception.

Exactly it's not like I said "Copy and paste this message and email to this email address"

Also how does everyone feel about maybe sending emails to these companies telling them how they can make their own altcoins?

You may need to explain to them that they can use a payment processor like BitPay to remove any concern about the exchange rate and receiving payment in fiat. This is a good idea. I'll help.

Companies aren't a democracy. They have employees and departments tasked with their accounting and payment systems, and I'm sure they're all aware of bitcoin.
The good news for all of you is, if it's feasible and profitable for them to implement, they're going to do it (because companies just happen to have a goal of making money).
But as it stands currently, many of them don't want to due to the volatility, relatively low user base, and legal/customer service issues that are bound to occur (just imagine how many trouble tickets would be opened on a daily basis by users who tried to pay with bitcoin and accidentally sent the wrong amount, or sent to a wrong address and want their account credited, etc.)
Don't waste your time with stupid spam e-mails and petitions. If it's going to happen, then it will happen regardless.

Companies aren't a democracy, but they are a business, and no business can operate without customers.
So, if enough customers ask for bitcoin, it's likely they will accept bitcoin.

But most companies are providing a service and if bitcoiners want their service they need to hear about it

Nice idea, many have thought of it already, but it has to come from potential customers if we want companies to react. Emails shall say plainly that the persons writing want to buy right away to avoid being mistaken for spammers.
So I guess that target companies shall be very carefully selected, and that you shall begin by finding a product or service that many here want to order.
