  Hello all, first time here, and it's obvious I'm not alone. .. I sent bitinstant $400 2 weeks ago today, received an email saying my funds were directly deposited into gox and there was no need for coupon code. At gox, I got "code is used or non existent" ( like I've seen others here have gotten ) . Several emails to Bitinstant have gotten me nowhere . I get passed off, ignored, told my email was sent to the CEO. Since when do CEOs deal with coupon codes and such? ANyway, its obvious to me now after finding this thread that it wasn't just me, which is kinda comforting .. ( ? ).  Bitinstant has stopped responding to me altogether.
   Can someone here please save me over 200 pages of reading and fill me in real quick on what's happening and if we'll be seeing our money. Can these guys really just take our money and walk away? Can't the better business bureau or something handle this in some way? What can I do to get my money back? Thanks guys.

People I highly suggest you think twice about using bitinstant again. Then think again. It's all very nice that some of you are getting your issues resolved, but eventually the gig will be up and they will burn all of you. I have been waiting since November for my issue to be resolved. I suspect that I will never see that money. It's not enough to go to court over, though I have spent a lot of time and energy trying to get it fixed. You might get this issue fixed (complain on reddit, that seems to be working for many) but the next time may be the time they chose to take your money. I am not the only one that has been waiting for a long time, that has been subject of Charlies lies and scams. Stupidly I didn't do enough research and didn't pay attention to the negatives bit"instant" was getting. Do not be stupid like me, do not use bit"instant" again. They will scam you eventually. Each and everyone of you that continues to use their "service" will get burned.

I am interested in getting a small loan in order to pay a bill. I found this board searching for Paypal Loans. Are there any lenders willing to lend $50 to $100 for a few weeks? I would be willing to borrow up to $2000, but will need more time to pay that back of course. My most urgent need right now is just $50 to $100.

Used Bit Instant to get coins, as it was highly recommended by a good friend. Gotta say, the CVS method worked pretty well. I felt like it was pretty easy and if time is of the essence (and you don't have a mtgox account verified) I would highly recommend it as well.

HOWEVER - when I am looking at my "wallet" (with BlockChain.info) and the "transaction" history, I noticed a few things that are very concerning, and might deter me from using them in the future. Correct me if I am wrong, but as soon as I receive my confirmation from ZipZap that a payment was made, my order is then placed on the market at market price. I know that volume is a pretty big aspect here since you can't buy coins if there are no coins that are being sold, or to a lesser extreme, there are more people trying to buy coins than there are available. I have been under the impression that while the coins might not come instantaneously, Bit Instant would still honor the price at the time of the transaction.

After getting my first email from ZipZap that the payment was "successful", I received an email from Bit Instant 57 minutes later regarding my "recent transfer". The value at the time of transaction is almost 10% less than what I paid - not cool. For example, I took my $500 cash to the CVS and then did the order and everything - Bit Instant took their 3.99% fee, and then ZipZop to my BeBop charged me their flat $3.95 fee, so the total amount was $503.95, $480.05 of which was used to buy bitcoins at the market price. Using the $480.05 amount that was remaining after fees and such, I received 2.76661085 bit coins - roughly $173.51 per coin (not cool). When I pull up my transaction history with BlockChain - specifically that transaction, I noticed underneath the amount transferred, it says "Value at time of transaction $ 439.89"... hmmm... well... if I divide THAT $439.89 by my 2.7661085 coins received, that means I should be at a value of ~$159 a coin... so what's the deal with that?

What is the minimum amount for a transfer between exchanges(using coupons)? I was trying to send 15.40 from BTC-e to Mtgox today and after submitting the form I'd just get redirected to the homepage.


Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I'm almost positive that the minimum is $20.

Sending him a bunch of PM's is only going to slow things down. And he is now sleeping I hope.

I have 2 transactions that were placed at Blockchain.info and processed by Bitinstant. I have been patiently waiting for Clair of ZipZap (ZipZap Ticket # 3408) to give me the Merchant ID Number for these to payments to bit instant, she has not yet provided that information. ZipZap has suggested that I contact Bitinstant.
 The following is the Account information  I received during the transaction:
 The 1st. is:

Amount to Pay: $503.95
Receive Code: 9611
Account Number: 543931851

and the second is :

Amount to Pay: $128.95
Receive Code: 9611
Account Number: 649149804

 I need the Merchant Order ID number
 I have not received these funds. I do have another transaction pending resolve on the 4/10 list.
 These two transactions are completely different issues.
