bitinstant is making it much easier to get coins now. If you're still looking for a way, head over to their site.
+1 for the win!!11!
Now it is as easy as buying a beer.
Yeah it's really convenient, but it comes at a cost depending on which options you use. If you go through moneygram (CVS, etc..) they will also charge you a $3.95 fee, on top of the 3.99% Bitinstant takes, and the $1 that coinvault takes. That $3.95 fee sucks.
Overall I've been paying about $10 in fees for each transaction. (Under $200)
