If this is true this is a huge improvement. To be able to pay at these stores shows that Bitcoin is getting bigger and more popular. But this is I think only in the US but it is a beginning.

^So buy GBP.

Protip: Don't buy [Walmart] gift cards with your BTC, buyUSD GBP. That way, you can buy anything you want, anywhere you want.
If you insist on being difficult, buy yourself Walmart gift cards with thatUSD GBP.

Lol.
People like you are noobs at new tech. No way you can offer a protip.
If you are old enough, I knew you when the internet started, when email started, when the web started, and even when cell phones appeared. You were there bashing it all as hard as you could.
I know it just makes you more interested in posting, but i can't resist letting you know that you're as annoying as hell.
Lol,
1. buy BTC with USD, pay premium (exchange fee/local bitcoin rates).
2. buy gift card with BTC, to spend it @ stores which accept USD
3. ? ? ?
4. PROFIT!!
What's wrong with you brah?
Did you even bother reading the post directly above yours?

I can't wait for the day when people can load up their Starbucks app directly using bitcoins. Then people can keep their silly coffee purchases off the blockchain, regardless of whether we have > 1MB blocks or not.
Today to buy coffee using bitcoins still requires 3 steps:
1) BTC -> Starbucks card via CardCash, Gyft, etc.
2) Load app with card number. This can be really annoying for the lazy people of today as it requires typing in over a dozen number into their phones.
3) Use the credits.

Are there any plans to adapt this to other Countries besides the USA? Possible to copy this format and open in Canada as well,could see this doing decent maybe and a potential step towards global.
Was going to ask the same question, could see this working in the UK as well and possibly mainland Europe...would be nice to see!
Do they sell gift cards in UK?
They sell Pound (money) in UK.
BtiAndy, instead of spending BTC on a gift card from one particular store, buy some GBP & bypass the middleman
Not sure I understand your advice...I live in the UK so I have GBP in "cash"

... Okay, sorry but if you could buy gift cards with it, I would just think that they'd know something about it, right?

I can't confirm any of these. I walked into Walmart an hour ago and asked and the guy said what is Bitcoin..
Maybe that particular Walmart you went to was special or that specific person you spoke to decided to trade your Fiat for BTC to purchase what you needed to purchase at your convenience. Can you show me a receipt showing you or anyone else paid with BTC for something at a popular business/store/etc?

I suggest you back up a bit, digest the facts of the conversation, and only then make your odd pronouncements.
We're talking about gift cards here. Why would the Walmart guy need to know anything about the bitcoin (or zimbabwean zloties!) used to buy the walmart gift card he's being asked to accept?

It's great if such big online stores start accepting bitcoins with ease and it would be more fun if we also get discount on purchasing through bitcoins.
Truly its the initial move to improve their business. At present third parties will be doing this for them in return for fiat. If they find more users which might lead to continued implementation on all stores.

Dammit this is good news.
Step by step we see the community innovating. Is it not shops who make an effort to embrace bitcoiners, then we have innovating people who find a way to give
more and more use to bitcoin.
