hm... a quick random guess...

Prime + Discounted gift cards purchased online + Credit card that gives 5% cash back for amazon + 3% cash back using ebates or a similar website? Was that it? Do I win a prize?

Yes make everyone beg, and waste everyones time instead of giving a 3-4 sentence summary on what you did and allow us to ask questions.

  // , Well, as a safe way to spend my bitcoin, I used to trade people whiskers from the Bitcoinstache for $100 amazon gift cards on two sites, on paxful.com and localbitcoins.com.

However, my team and I recently won a hackathon hosted by a company called purse.io, and they gave us VIP accounts. My housemate and I have since tried it, and the service sort of makes it muuuuch easier.

So for those of us with a Bitcoinstache, it can be an easy way of actually using it to save money AND play around with new software.

$1000 in a bank account or cash -> $995 on coinbase.com/kraken.com/bitwage.com/localbitcoins.com/paxful.com -> $995 on purse.io -> $1094 in amazon stttttuuufffffffffff


For those of us who don't buy that much on Amazon anyway, but occasionally use it for gigantic purchases, it might be an option worth considering, especially if you want to help the Mechanical Turks out there. Their business model is actually rather clever.

Edit 20170722: Add a little more precision to qualify the 10% number a bit, and talk up the boys at Purse a little.

I have mentioned purse.io before on these forms but didn't seem like much interest.  I used site last year to buy a few items at ~20-25% off as I was patient with the bid.
