$15 gift card for BTC?

[cdhowie]

Folks,

I found a $15 VISA gift card sitting around from my motherboard mail-in rebate and was trying to think of what to do with it when I realized -- duh, Bitcoin!

Obviously I'm not going to be selling the card number directly (unless someone wants it, I suppose) but I would be willing to use it to buy a gift card to Amazon or Newegg or whatever else online.  I would prefer to deal with someone who has a highish OTC rating and/or who would be willing to use ClearCoin to send the BTC.

I am requesting the face value of the card, exchanged at whatever the mtgox ask is when we do the deal.

I'm tempted - can you buy a GBP (UK) Amazon voucher with that?

Probably, but I'd have to buy it from amazon.co.uk (gift cards are not transferable between .com and .co.uk) and that presents two challenges:

• I don't know what rate Amazon converts USD to GBP at, so I don't know what amount to enter in the card field.
• I don't know what the fees would be to use the card internationally.  My guess is that they would be more than PayPal's respective fee to send money using a credit card.
