Hello,

  In case anyone doesn't know, Gyft.com is now accepting Bitcoin.  I signed in under my facebook on the Iphone app as well as the website. I just purchased a $10 Burger King giftcard for a test and it was actually a pleasant experience.  Very easy to use and the transaction was painless.  Purchased it on their website and it showed up on my Iphone app within seconds, so all I need to do is go to Burger King and try it out.  No need to wait for any confirmations on the network which is a plus!!

  I would recommend others to try as well

BTW this is my 100 post  Smiley

Thanks

I made my first purchase with bitcoin ever with them a few days ago. Feels great. Helping the btc ecosystem and supporting companies that use it.

I think most of the gift cards are for the US... but if you don't have a smart phone, you can print out a paper copy of the gift card.

Im in the USA, and I used the gyft app in the store.  Took like 5 seconds.  No confirmations, nothing,  worked awesome.  You can literally open the app while in checkout line, and have the gift card code by the time the cashier rings the items.
