You're lucky to have all these Bitcoin merchants around you! Not possible everywhere yet without services like bitrefill and this one though. And if you use a gift card bought with SATs well it's exactly like buying a prepaid visa with btc. Maybe worse for the merchants bc of the cc fees.

I try not to use big retail chains. Only small local merchants, that I onboarded during many years.
I have one that give me 10% discount on everything I buy from him paying with BTC. He's even willing to bring me anything I want even that it doesn't sell it usually in his shop.
Is like a personal shopper for me.
That's cool! You could have gotten a 21% discount at my restaurant for paying with BTC! We closed it last summer though. Sorry 😁
