It seems like the previous 1 star… It seems like the previous 1 star reviews were correct. Purse.io is no longer a functioning website and they will intentionally disable your account once you try to withdraw your Bitcoin. I only lost $90 so not a big deal, I'm lucky I didn't get scammed for more. Update: They said it was a bot that disabled my account on accident, I guess they are okay now.

Used Purse.io for many years now Used Purse.io for many years now, and the experience is great. If you can tolerate waiting longer for your amazon purchases, it's highly recommended. I have transacted over 400 times and have zero complaints about the service. Too bad so many people are resistant to the idea. The gift card market leaves a bad taste in people's mouths I suspect, because yes some scammers are trying to get you to release bitcoin before you get your item, or trying to reverse the gift card purchase after amazon ships, but it never works, and I've never been scammed. And clearly Amazon has no problem with the way purse operates, or they would have cancelled my account after 400 wishlist purchases.

Excellent for Buyers using Amazon wishing to spend Bitcoin From a buyer's point of view, Purse works very well and is easy to use. In many cases delivery is faster than if you order direct from Amazon. You can select a discount on the price if you are willing to accept some delay before your order is accepted but generally it does not take long before the order is picked up. Purse support act quickly when there is an issue - in one case goods were damaged in shipment but no problem in getting refund or making return arrangements.

Scam Scam. Customer service is terrible and they just took around $300 plus change from me. Item not delivered and btc held in escrow with no explanation even after repeated inquiries. And all of the sudden balance goes to $0.00.

Long time user I've been using Purse for 4 years now. The experience definitely leaves a lot to be desired, and support staff take forever to address issues. However, the savings are well worth the hassle. I wish there was a competitor out there to be able to compare, but as long as they have a monopoly, they'll get my business.
