thanks for all that info! i was thinking amazon gift cards might be a good option - i swear i even saw woolworths gift cards (which is a grocery store here in australia) as a payment method somewhere 🤔

would you get worse spreads using these as an option? or is it decent spreads if you’re grabbing us dollar or euros based gift cards?

might give it a go on robosats 🤔

No, the spread is totally independent f the method, as far as I can make out.

Sometimes you have better rates with gift cards, sometimes you don't. It depends on each seller.

I'm my experience, the premium is much more strongly correlated with the general sentiment about whether BTC is going up or down in the short term.

E.g.: this week I have seen some crazy double digit premiums, while one week ago I was able to get BTC for as little a premium as 1.7% (and some offers with payment methods I don't want to use like bank transfer even had a 0% premium)
