As I said, I was willing to try it out and am over a week into the process.
If all finishes out smoothly, I can confirm it is a relatively easy method of payment. However, the amount of time and the sketchiness of the process will most likely make this a one-time venture. Given, I chose the easiest and most convenient methods for me. But if I were to reduce the amount of time and the amount of sketchiness, the process would be more difficult, and I would have to spend more to get bitcoins. More likely I will just leave gtru in the future if my ratio falls below what it needs to be due to my relatively slow connection.
