I know that this article is a few months old at this point, but I'm just now coming across it. Even though it's a slightly old article, I think we can all get some user out of it, because we need more ways of spending our Bitcoins. 

 

Basically, the article is saying to use eGifter.com (https://www.egifter.com/bitcoin/) to buy gift cards using your Bitcoins for certain stores, and you can also use their mobile app to use Bitcoin at the actual brick and mortar stores, so it's also a digital wallet. 

 

At least now I know what to do with my ~$20 in Bitcoin that I have lying around. 

 

EDIT: Just used eGifter to buy an Amazon gift card for $20.75 (wanted to use up as many of my Bitcoins as possible ). I can confirm that it works. It's great great and extremely fast.

Or just use Gyft: http://www.gyft.com/

Gyft offers 3% back on all Bitcoin purchases which is a nice bonus.

 

There are quite a few gift card companies which are accepting Bitcoin now, it allows you to easily survive on Bitcoin alone if local businesses don't accept it directly.

While I haven't used egifter, I can say that Gyft is great, also 3% back

You could sell your bitcoin for paypal credit at somewhere like localbitcoins.com (I've used it, it works, just make sure you're buying from a trusted seller)

Ya, Gyft is awesome, but eGifter is just another option. Options are good!

 

Plus with eGifter you get points back, and every point is worth a penny, so every 100 points makes up a Dollar that you can spend on eGifter to buy more gift cards. So if you use eGifter a lot, you can start racking up "free" money to spend on more gift cards.

Nice, I just looked into their "points" system when using Bitcoin it also works out to 3% back just like gyft. Now I'm waiting for free market competition and one of them to offer 4 or 5%
