I have used localbitcoins and Gyft , they really are great!
Haven't tried any other and bitwage seems interesting , i might give it a try in future

Thanks to Elwar I just started using Bitwage.co and I highly recommend it. Great customer service, only took about a day and a phone call (and an email essay) to get setup. They did want an image of my driver's license and passport, but who doesn't. My first transaction came through today and it worked perfectly.

There is also no fee for using Bitwage right now, so it's really the best deal going to get more BTC.

No fee?
Wow! that could turn out the best way to buy btc
Are they international ?

>best way to buy btc
I agree! Now I'm just waiting for Coinapult to implement multisig for Locks and all my troubles are over.

> international
They currently service Europe and the US, but as I understand it they are expanding to other areas as well.

Just saw that you can rent from http://www.9flats.com for something like AirBnB. I haven't used it but it looks promising.

Got that from this link from a guy living just on bitcoins:

I did see this: https://billpayforcoins.com/

A Bitcoin Bill Pay service but I think their 3% fee is a bit steep. But it might be useful for someone.

I noticed they lowered it to about 2.5%, which is still way too high. I'll start using them after they offer a low flat rate.

Yeah...they should offer flat rates as promotion at least..Ill try it if they do.

Brawker
I have not used this site yet so I cannot review it. From what I have seen you type in a link to the item online you want to buy, you can put a comment in and someone will buy the item for you and you pay them in bitcoins using Multi-sig to protect your money. Someone showed how they paid their electric bill using the site so I might try this out for one of my bills.

I have used Brawker several times now, and I like it. Generally you get a discount rate of 5-8% on whatever you buy. I had a few issues with some orders but Brawker was always fair and refunded my BTC from escrow promptly.

The thing to consider when using Brawker is that you need to add at least 3 extra days of order processing time to physical goods you buy, so don't use it if you're in a hurry, and beware of merchants that might have low inventory levels of the thing you want. I imagine things that might be potential returns (like shoes or clothes) might be avoided as well, just due to the hassle.

Thanks, I just used the site for the first time and was pleased.

Purse.io
I love this site when I need to buy most things online. If you can buy it on Amazon.com you can use purse.io. Purse.io allows you to buy anything on Amazon and get around 8% to 30% off, every time. Even if you don't use Bitcoin for anything else, it is a no brainer if you are going to buy something on Amazon to use purse.io.
How can they give such big discounts? Amazon has this thing called Mechanical Turk, people all over the world can do simple tasks that computers cannot yet do and get paid a small wage. People in poor countries will do this and make a few dollars a day. But they get paid in Amazon points. It takes months for them to get those points turned into their local currency.
Purse.io allows people to buy your Amazon order for you and they get paid when the shipment arrives. If you're worried about people using stolen credit cards or anything for the purchse, Purse.io has a $10,000 guarantee that they will put toward any problem with your order.

I really like this too
Never tried any other than LBC but this

If you are into online marketing, you definitely shouldn't miss out https://www.namecheap.com/ where you can get domains and hosting

Yes, NameCheap is good. I included the hosting service I use in the OP.

Thanks for the good links, I'll be sure to try some out if I'm looking for something they provide.
