I just bought a Foodland gift card from them this morning for my wife to try. That's a grocery store conglomerate in Canada. They have 4 or 5 different grocery store brands. They have 2 different locations near us. A premium store and a discount store. So we can definitely make use of it. Only thing I did not like is I tried to click the print button and it didn't work so I just screenshot the gift card with bar code and texted it to my wife.
My experience is that each card is different. The one I used last night did not have a bar code. The cashier had to type in numbers. The Dunkin Donuts card has a bar code and works smoothly. I wonder if anyone has tried the Visa card on SN? I'd be interested to know if they succeeded with in store purchases.

I have only bought a blockstream gift card because I wanted to buy a Jade hardware wallet, gas cards and now this grocery card today but I am open to trying other ones as well. I just pay in bitcoin and then re-buy whatever I just spent.
What I really like about it is Fold only has 3 or 4 options in Canada and it's stuff like the Gap which I have no interest in but Bitcoin company has gas, grocery, restaurants.

Fold isn't even an option in NY. The Bitcoin Company is painless and pretty private. I also have used bit refill but I like Bitcoin Company better

I was unaware of that.
