Someone posted something about that over at 2p2 a few days ago IIRC. They figured if they can't gat a check they might as well spend the money on something. I don't think anyone found many companies that used NT as a payment service. I think the best they found was a few people in the UK who sold stuff on ebay, but I don't remember 100%.
That says "effective Jan 17th". As far as I know, US members cant transfer money to non gambling merchants now. If anyone wants to call them and confirm and it IS possible, I will contact them and try to make BTP a merchant.
