How to spend US dollar cash online..?

iudtuvm

Hello people,

I have 4 x 100 USD bills. I want to make an online services purchase worth around $250 from a US website.

Any idea how to go about doing this or is converting the cash to pounds the only option?

TIA

I would think this was impossible.
I'm a nice bloke though. You post me the 4 x $100 notes, I'll make the purchases for you and post them over.

Everyone's a winner (Well, I am anyway )

Easy peasy. You scan the notes and e-mail them to the merchant. He prints them off and pays them into his bank:rotfl:


Seriously though, unless you have a $US bank account to pay them into there is no other way than changing into ££.

You could do the transaction by phone rather than online and mail the notes - problems of exact amount/change though.

Hey, thank you both for your replies.

I was wondering if someone would come up with a payment card that could be loaded for this purpose or a similar type of service. I realise this is an uncommon query but it doesn't hurt to ask.

sell the $100 bills to someone in the UK (like me)

I'm sure there are such cards - but I'm also sure you would need to be in the US to buy one WITH dollars as opposed to loading one here with $$ which would require payment in sterling.

Yes, something like that.

Sounds impossible I know, but if anyone has come across them in their travels (in the UK), would be interested to know.

Thanks all.

Take them into the US Embassy in London and buy stuff from their vending machines. Or get access to an American military base in the UK and spend it in their shops.
