I paid for a lot of coffee and pizza with bitcoin, but that was back when the fees were reasonable

Oh, so did I when fees were reasonable. I used to use glGyft all the time to obtain Starbucks, groceries, etc. Now that is totally unthinkable. Bitcoin for that use case is dead.

I still use it for $500 gift cards. But if you know of a legit source for cards to Amazon that accepts xmr, let me know
