You can always buy Amazon gift cards through Gyft. You can always get gift cards for a bunch of other retailers. I recommend checking it out Cheesy

Amazon is one of the major opponents of Bitcoin. Not only they have refused to accept Bitcoin, but also they have indulged in propaganda campaigns against BTC. If you purchase something from Amazon, you are helping one of the major rivals of Bitcoin. And at the same time Bitcoin is not benefiting out of it, as the gift card was used for the purchase. I prefer online shopping using Overstock.

Maybe so but Amazon is soooo cheap, and their delivery is sooo fast, it's hard to resist.

Thanks for telling your experience. It makes readers go hopeful.

You say you scanned a code, so do you have a mobile wallet?

Ya i'm using Blockchain mobile wallet. I know some people hate them because of their XT support but they have this nifty GPS feature the shows me local stores that accept bitcoin. None around my apartment in Brooklyn but in Manhattan there is a ton of bars and restaurants I can go to. I like it better then the coinbase wallet I was using.

Which website did you end up buy your mouse from? If you don't mind sharing of course.

NewEgg, I have shopped there for years building and upgrading my computers, I always use them for parts. I went for a mouse and ended up buying a combo. It's cheap but it suits my needs. I got this one becuase green is my favorite color, I was born in March, lol, so I had to have it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823129036
