Would you do it for a percentage greater than your CC rewards if you trusted the seller?

For example, Amazon has never screwed me on a single purchase. If I have an issue they fix it, which is a large part of why I often pay 5-10% more for products on Amazon.com instead of XYZ.com. Would you use BTC for a 2% discount with sellers like this?



Unless you're buying large amounts you're probably going to pay 2+% just to get the bitcoins.


Purse.io provides 25% discounts to shop on Amazon with bitcoin. Pretty incredible - discount comes from liquidating Amazon gift cards ($15b in circulation).


It mostly comes from people buying Amazon gift cards with stolen credit cards.

I wouldn't get anywhere near that site.


Yes, it turns out that blatant fraud saves money. The site is a stolen credit card launderer.
