    For u.s the only one is bitpay card which works great except no atm withdrawal or cashback. I don't know of any others available in the u.s now. A few did come out but quickly closed up. It seems Europeans have more options with debit cards.

    The were new a few years ago. But most have gone by the wayside or become more limited now.

    For USA users, the http://bitpay.com/card/ is the current best (only?) option. And plenty of active users on here who know all the ins and outs to help with questions.


    https://wirexapp.com/card has recently added US$ support and say they are expanding to Nth American users. They are known and tested in Europe and should be a great addition if it happens.



    Untested options I have been told about but know NOTHING regarding usefulness or trust.

    https://www.polispay.com/open-beta

    https://getblockcard.com/ <-- been claiming to be coming soon for months

    Crypto.com recently launched their **** Debit card in the USA.

    Apac and Europe should follow soon... hopefully before 2020.

    Sounds pretty good.

    Anyone know why they have "Metal Cards"? or what that might mean, if anything?





    Crypto.com, the pioneering payments and cryptocurrency platform, today announces that its MCO **** Card is now shipping to customers in the United States.

    The MCO **** Card is a prepaid card that features high-end metal cards with no annual or monthly fees, up to 5% back on all spending, unlimited airport lounge access, and subscription rebates for popular streaming services based on the number of MCO staked. It also has an updated design which prominently features the Crypto.com brand icon, the Ethereum Lion, and includes a new Frosted Rose Gold card.

    Reservations for the MCO **** Card are made using the Crypto.com App which includes a three-minute customer onboarding process including ID verification. Using the App, customers are able to manage their card usage, move funds between crypto and fiat, and freeze or unfreeze their card with a single tap. The App also allows users to securely buy, sell, store, send, and track cryptocurrencies.

    Not sure but I think as an added incentive to buy and stake MCO for card reservations since cards made of composite metal look more premium.
    Their free card is made of plastic.

    Anyone who is interested to stake at least 50 MCO for 6 months should register with a ref code (would not mind if you use mine lol).
    Both get credited with 50 USD instantly (paid out in MCO tokens).

    Went with the plastic card....not trying to spend $250 and have it sit there for 6 months for benefits paid out in MCO.....the MCO is the least interesting part to me but they know that....Ill pay the 2% fee for ATM or swipe and get a MO.....no worries here

    Thanks. Signed up today. Will consider staking MCO a nominal amount for higher monthly limits and a cool metal card.

    For anyone thinking about getting the MCO card.... from the reviews I'm gathering... they seem to be asking a lot of personal information from the app. Some people have indicated they are entering all of their personal information and they are being declined intentionally. Be careful.

    Has anyone tried Spend Card? I signed up for it a while ago but the limits are low unless you do the same thing as this MCO card. You have to buy a couple hundred bucks of their coin and lock it in for 6 months.

    If you are trying to PM him to ask him again to use the referral code you posted, please do not bother.

    As explained in the warning you received, using the forum or PM system to chase referrals is not allowed.

    Its backed by the same Bank as Bitpay--so if you trust bitpay-then you should trust this...

    MCO looks laughable... if you want their top tier cards you have to put $160,000 USdd on deposit for them to hold for 6 months. their lowest level metal card, requires a $1,600 usd deposit being held for 6 months.

    Ponzi scheme, or using our funds to invest? either way, hard pass

    We use BTC to move quickly.... once deposited... it turns automatically to USD.

    When you want a PO.... book sends it to us in BTC. Then we need to figure out what to do with it and/or convert it.

    US books are trying to stay away from checks etc. You can ask for one... but it takes awhile.

    Looks very bizarre. I don't understand why you can't sign up with a desktop or laptop computer? I guess you must download the app to your phone... and then sign up from your phone? Totally odd.

    Okay, what do I have wrong then? I see the lowest level metal card requiring a hold of 50 MCO for 6 months, which works out to about $160, not $1,600.

    Seems too complicated for me. Apparently banks hate bitcoin or there would be many debit cards.

    This same bank also has Varo card, Google it or search on the Play Store.
    I would suggest getting that, and the high end version of this one with their coin-it's a cheap Longshot crypto bet.
