The day when I walk into a Walmart and only use my phone to pay for something in Bitcoin, will be the day when I will walk out and scream "Bitcoin is Mainstream"  Cool

I just wonder who will be the first multi national supermarket chain who will accept Bitcoin ... { I exclude Overstock as a big retailer} We need more companies selling the things we use every day.

The gift card thing is a start, but it's still not Bitcoin adoption as we want it.  Sad

When you pay with a credit card you are not paying with dollars. That is not a defeat to the dollar.

It is still good, in other way it is indirect buying with your bitcoin. Let's see who is next to implement bitcoin.

That's quite a list. Too bad I'm too old-school to do the whole online-gift-card thing... suppose I need to learn sometime though.

Too old-school? Why? It is never to late to learn and experience something new. And you can not be that old-school when you are between all these crazy early adopters. Smiley Wink

Move On !!!!!!
Wow, what a list! This is great news for Bitcoin. Too bad I have quit the US years ago. Smiley No, but seriously, these are exactly the moves that we need. Other companies all around the world will follow initiatives like this of its American colleagues. Soon enough, I hope, I will be able to pay with bitcoins everywhere I go.

Why does the good bitcoin initiatives always starts in the West? I mean, no love for us bitcoiners in the Far East? Sad Good thing that more and more merchants considered accepting bitcoin as a form of payment. We're on our way there, buddies. Smiley


If you look closely you will see that biggest chunk of fintech movement and Bitcoin innovation and early adoption is happening in the US and then starts to spread around the world through the western route. Although Bitcoin is global the brainiacs mostly are sitting in the states.USA is home sweet home of internet and digital industry. The roots are there.
So don't worry it just takes a bit more time to reach you. But it will happen.

Looking for campaign manager? Contact icopress!
Wonderful news. Pretty nice and big list covered.
However, I'd like to see such .. companies in the rest of the world too. Europe, Asia/Japan, maybe, why not? Africa...

Bitcoin is quite well known by now in US. Still work to do to conquer the world.

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.

Man that would be so awesome and way easier. Just hitting one button and BAAMM the coffee is paid.
I bought some coffee at starbucks in London once while using Fold app. It's cool but still to complicate and time consuming for the average joue out there.

Looks like this site is working on allowing you to load bitcoins to the online wallet, then you can just go to Starbucks and pay with the app.

I think in the near future the Bitcoin will be the real international currency,used by everyone.

Has nobody told them about QR-Codes, yet? Is a multinational company like Starbucks to stupid to use a simple solution?
Well, their app generates a QR-codes for the checkout scanner, so I don't know why they don't make it such that you can load up the app in the same way. Also I have not seen e-gift cards delivered via QR codes - more like some number that you can copy and paste on your desktop computer but not always on a phone.
