Does anyone know a good method for purchasing gas gift cards with Bitcoin?
Coin-to-Gas
I have finally worked my way up to transferring some SBD into Bitcoin, and decided I would like to purchase a gas card with it. That seems to be something that I drop a lot of money on, on a regular basis. If I could some how turn my coin into gas, it would be a HUGE help to me.
After all of my time and effort interacting with Steemit, I figured it was about time I got a little reward for my efforts.
It seems to be fairly easy to obtain any other type of gift card, but the gas cards are giving me a hard time.
Questions:
- Have any of you went through this process before?
- Is there a better approach?
- Is there re-loadable ones?
- Is there Bitcoin cash cards?
Feel free to drop any knowledge at all, pertaining to this topic.
If you have any other questions leave them in the comments. Hopefully we can get them answered.
Thanks a head of time for any time invested in my post. I hope it helps me, and anyone else wondering the same.

Hey my friend I can get Shell and Bp gift cards for SBD. You are right it is easier to send other gift cards then gas cards. Gas cards have to be mailed. Do you live in North America?
Really? What site do you use? Yeah i do live in North America. I wouldn't mind it being mailed to me, as long as I could get it. Thanks for commenting.
Find a Bitcoin meetup in a large city. Be the guy willing to trade SBD for gas cards. You might eventually have people showing up with gas cards in their pockets for you.
I'm very limited in the area I live. It may be worth it to drive a good distance if I can stake up enough BTC. As of right now I'm throwing around small weight. I may have to start my own local Bitcoin meetup.
I remember there was a quote hack unquote that you could once use GameStop gift cards bought on eGifter and Gyft and then at GameStop use those to buy physical gas gift cards some GameStops sold. I think this only worked if the worker was quote cool unquote.
I'm sure if you find the right gas station, they might work with you
The above image was posted just today in /r/pics/ "My local gas station sells bitcoins"
Thanks for the feedback. I had heard of that before. Someone told me that they stopped doing it. Thats cool about the gas station selling Bitcoin.
I actually tried this method recently and it didn't work anymore. Previously, it had worked, but the worker behind the counter told me that they could no longer sell other gift cards that were being paid for with GameStop gift cards.
However, this method still works at Best Buy.
I see another user has you cover right now which is awesome. If I am able to get some I think I will be able to get Wawa's and Racetrac, will maybe try for a 7-11 too. I will just put them up on OpenBazaar so transaction will just be automated and any cryptocurrency on @Shapeshiftio can be used, which I think Steem or SBD is or has been on there.
What other things does eGifter and Gyft not cover? I remember Walmart gift cards was a big thing that was around then not around.
OMG! Is it true? Bitcoin depot, Great information. Thanks for the valuable upvote you had casted in my favour. Have a great day friend.
Thanks @maya7! No problem. Have agreat day as well.
Thanks for the nice support. Wish you all the best, Happy steeming friend.
Gyft is the only card I know that was taking Bitcoin and allowing you to buy other cards, but I don't think they have gas cards. But I think you could upload a gas card to their platform and load it with bitcoin. Not positive on that one...they have changed their focus over the past couple of years.
Thanks for your comment! That would be nice if that could be pulled off. Yeah i noticed that there were no gas cards available on gyft.
