Purse.io has now enabled a way to buy instantly from Amazon using your bitcoin.

For the past year Purse.io has offered a service which matches your Amazon order with someone looking to buy bitcoin with a credit card or gift card. That person would place and pay for your Amazon order for you and would receive bitcoin in return. They receive the bitcoin they wanted and your desired product would be shipped directly to you. Customers using this early service received discounts as high as 20%, paid for by the person buying bitcoin with their credit or gift card.

Purse.io has now stepped up their game with Purse Instant. Purse Instant only offers Amazon buyers a 5% discount but compensates with free 2 day Amazon Prime shipping. How is Purse accomplishing this? They buy a supply of Amazon gift cards held in reserve and use up the cards as Purse Instant orders come in. They have also partnered with ShapeShift to allow customers to buy with altcoins as well as bitcoin.

If you want to buy from Amazon using bitcoin or altcoins try the service for yourself. First visit Purse.io and create an account … Once in your account you can use bitcoin or one of 27 supported altcoins like Litecoin, Dogecoin or Dash to add dollars you can spend …
