Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys,

I am about to order one of these and would like to know what would be the best one to select. I do search data about fees and the price of the card, I can look this up by myself. I would like to hear opinions from people who actually own and use these cards. How easy is to load BTC? Is the card accepted everywhere? Have you had any problems buying online and after all, what s the best buy in your opinion and why?
Thx a lot.

There are many different card you can get, and not all of them work everywhere or can be gotten everywhere.

Here is a thread with some comparison of some of the credit card options.https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1155883.0

Advcash (MasterCard) should be the cheapest if they didn't change anything about their price , It should be 0.99$ Virtual card & 4.99$ Physical card , I failed on doing the Verification for some reasons that I don't know ... so I left it . More about it here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1011381.0

I also tried E-coin.io (Visa card) virtual card it was for free when I first made the account and now it costs 3$ and the Physical card is 17$ (and if you use referal link it should be less as far as I know) . It's pretty easy to load them and it's instant .
First you deposit into your E-coin.io account (you generate an adress) , wait for 6 confirmations then you will see them in your account , after that you go to "Load card" tab and you choose the amount you want to transfer from your BTC adress to your Visa card and it's instant . (Note that the minimum is 10$ so you should deposit 10$ or above) , I personally like it and used it to Verify Paypal and all worked great !

There is one signature campaign running for bit-x they also provide cheap mastercard. Last time when i have check their site their price was 0.05 for activation and 0.05 for home delivery. You can check their thread here on service category. Other option can be e-coin but i don't know about their price.

I have seen a smilar thread here in forum about asking which is the best bitcoin debit cards but here some that i check regularly.
With Xapo and Bit-x bitcoin debit card you can spend directly your bitcoins on ATM or buying online like a normal debit card.
In this case your bitcoin is converted into fiat money (USD, EUR, GBP) at the current exchange rate when you request to withdrawn.

You should check out the Bit-X card. Not because I wear their signature but because they have just rolled out brand new cards. They offer apparently the lowest fees in industry, cashback rewards and have few card to choose from.

Check out this message where new cards are announced and explained:

As Mickeyb said: Bit-X announced some new cards!

If you buy the 'Named' card, it'll cost 19.90 USD/EUR/GBP (issuance, shipping and activation). From then on, the only fee is the ATM fee of 4.95 USD/EUR/GBP. The first year comes with no monthly fees and from the second an active fee (minimum of 1 transaction in a month) is 0.95 USD/EUR/GBP and the inactive fee (no transactions in a month) is 4.95 USD/EUR/GBP. Those don't apply until year 2.

The 'Named White' card costs 99 USD/EUR/GBP (issuance, shipping and activation) and it includes all monthly fees for the card's life. The only fee is a 3.95 USD/EUR/GBP fee if you use an ATM.

You'll also benefit from cashback rewards. 10 satoshi for every 0.01 USD/EUR/GBP you spend through the card!

Thx Marco. This named white card does seem interesting.

I use SpectroCoin in EU. Its perfect! I can load my coins to the card, and go to ANY ATM and Cash it out. I can use the card online, or at any shop :) Also the fees are low.

Bit-x is definitely an interesting option. I'm not into prepaid credit cards, but if I were to get one I would go with Bit-X. They're pretty much the best in the industry.

this is purely my 2 cents, but i saw that XAPO was looking at releasing a debit card for btc, never followed up but check it out :)

I think I ll go with Bit-x. They offer everything I need.

Good choice. They are the only ones I trust at the moment.
