    The first US-issued bitcoin debit card, the Shift Card.
    Today, we’re excited to introduce the first US-issued bitcoin debit card, the Shift Card. The Shift Card is a **** debit card that currently allows Coinbase users in twenty-four states in the U.S. to spend bitcoin online and offline at over 38 million merchants worldwide.
    Merchant adoption has come a long way over the past few years, but it’s still difficult for people to make regular purchases with bitcoin. Buying gas at a local gas station or groceries at a neighborhood grocery store with bitcoin has not been possible in most cities in the U.S. Thanks to Shift Payments, it’s now possible to use bitcoin to buy gas, groceries, and much more. With the Shift Card, you can now spend bitcoin anywhere in the world that **** is accepted.

    Shift card: Alabama, Arizona, California, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.Coinbase and Dwolla aren’t charging a transaction fee although Swift says both companies reserve the right to do so in the future. You’ll pay $10 up front for the plastic debit card and $10 to replace it should it become lost, stolen or damaged.
    The daily spending / withdrawal limit is set at $1,000.

        I got an email from Coinbase stating that my state is now in the allowable states to use this. I think I might try it out. If I do, I'll report here.

          Can you use this credit card even if you have transferred your coinbase bitcoin to USD, but you are still holding them in the coinbase wallet?
