Bitcoin debit card

**ParlayKing1986** · 05-27-16, 04:10 PM

Just ordered mine...this will be a godsend if it sticks around.

**TheMoneyShot** · 05-27-16, 04:19 PM

I have a feeling this card will last a long long long time. I can't see why it would ever be stopped?

Not like other D.C.'s in the past where it was being funded in "other" ways.

This card "welcomes" BTC from your wallet.

I'm pretty excited about this. You should be too.

**themike78** · 05-27-16, 04:40 PM

Agree. I am glad it seems legit. I am so tired of my bank Wells Fargo interrogating me every time a coinbase transaction comes up.

**Living The Dream** · 05-28-16, 07:21 AM

Yes.. exactly

You send say $500 in your current Bitcoins to the debit card...the Bitcoin leaves your wallet and is deposited to the debit card, and you now have $500 usd to spend on your debit card...?

If so...this is very welcome!

I'm on the bitpay site trying to order the card and it seems like you have to use BTC to order it. I guess you can't pay with USD.

Your right...I tried to find a USD payment option also, and couldn't. So went with bitcoin.

Apparently only accepts BTC for payment. So make sure you have your BTC wallet handy. They set up a stupid timer that you have 15 minutes to complete the transaction. Don't freak yourself out about it.... if all 15 minutes expire.... the invoice will remain open. Just don't lose the BTC address that is generated.

Once the funds are confirmed.... you will receive an email saying paid in full.

Try this one: http://tinyurl.com/zpst3xs

**Ghenghis Kahn** · 05-28-16, 05:14 PM

thanks. that worked. so the card is ~$10 and you can take out up to $3000 per day for a fee of $2.00?

so it's free to load to the card? seems really cheap. what am i missing here?

**bigjah15** · 05-29-16, 09:04 PM

Card works great, money is on it within 15 minutes

Do you know if you can load it 24/7 or is it just certain hours?

**bigjah15** · 05-29-16, 09:28 PM

24/7 by wallet, or you can load at store when they are open. I go frol book to airbitz to card then take money out. Not sure if i need to go to inbetween wallet but rather be safe then sorry

**bigjah15** · 05-29-16, 09:29 PM

From book to card it usually takes 15-20 min

**bigjah15** · 05-29-16, 09:29 PM

I use nitrogen fyi

**themike78** · 05-29-16, 09:40 PM

Yeah I use nitogen also. Probably good idea to use middle wallet because card bank might be weird about gambling stuff like coinbase and circle. Thanks for the info I definitely will be ordering a card.

Out of curiosity, what did you guys use for ID verification? Drivers license? Didn't think you'd need that to verify.

**Ghenghis Kahn** · 05-29-16, 11:11 PM

i'm ordering mine.

I included my drivers license on the app. No different then any other pre-paid. The difference is now I can cash out from a book and have cash in hand in minutes. And not the $450 p2p. 3k per day. Saying I can win that much of course.

**3runhomer** · 05-30-16, 01:11 AM

Just got mine in the mail...here we go....

This sounds a little bit too good to be true.

I'd suggest withdrawing whatever balance you transfer to this card ASAP to reduce any chance of funds confiscation in case this company is openly flaunting the laws.

In the fine print.... if you're looking for an ATM... the max per transaction is 750.00 roughly. So it would be $2.00 fee for every 750.00

The key is finding an ATM that allows and supports this. Some will not allow you a transaction this high. You'll have to do some research in your area.

Buy a moneyorder

where did someone else get $3000 max per day? so it's only $750 per day? most likely, it would be $2 bitpay charges plus the atm fee the bank charges?

hey money, fyi, did you know you can increase your daily withdrawal amount to $1500 a day with your debit card? for the longest time i thought $500 was the max you can take out but you can call and increase it to $1500 a day.

750 per transaction, max of $3000 per 24 hours. $2.50 fee for each $750 withdrawal. Posted on their website

so you can do 4 straight transactions for $3000 but it'll cost $10? lol i guess they want to juice the fees but still worth it compared to $50 fees for a check from up north.

That's the trick. You might have to go to 4 different ATM's (under 24 hours) to get the 750.00 X 4 that you're looking for. Each machine may have it's own daily limit... regardless of bitpay's daily 3k limit. ATM's are independently owned and operated.

Most in my area are Max 600 per transaction.

Most machines are only equipped to spit out 30 bills tops. Meaning 30 20's.... which is 600 MAX.
