Title: Anyone using Coin?

Coin is a transaction card that holds up to 8 debit, credit, gift, or loyalty cards that can be used for payments at your favorite retailers. This thing just came out over the last week or so (after about 18 months of delay). Anyone have it? Anyone using it yet? Your thoughts?

Really? No one is using or has seen this? Here's a few pictures and check out the Twitter hashtag #gotmycoin

I recall reading about this a while back. I haven't indulged. I wonder whether the card providers themselves have given it the OK.

I don't because I don't even use credit cards, let alone debit cards, and haven't got any gift cards. Im scared of credit cards, it's too addictive to start purchasing stuff that way. I have 0 debt and I want to stay like that forever. The design looks great tho, very slick.

I am very wary of credit cards or debit cards or any card for that matter. I don't even trust gift cards or discount cards because there is always a catch when you use one.  So I do not know about  Coin.

That's a nice card. I doubt I'll use one tho because of tge credit card, as they've said, credit cards are really addicting and I might throw myself in a pile of debt so it's a no no for me. For the gift cards, I hardly use them.

Also This isn't available in my country so yea. ;D

I don't care much for cards, let alone Coin.  I am always comfortable in paying in cash.

I'm fine with gift cards. Always receiving some from my friends; debit cards not that much and credit cards? Simply no. I'm wondering how did they integrate all of those into one single card? How would the user pay for a single coffee for example? I've never used a card my entire life so I'm a noob on these matters.

I heard about this a long time ago, but I think it's release was delayed quite a bit if I'm not mistaken. It's out and available now?

Staying without debt (atleast here in The Netherlands) is almost impossible. To buy a house, almost everybody takes a huge loan from one of the banks.

I understand you don't want to take a loan for a car or a new phone (kinda stupid imo), but how about a house?

i prefer to stay away from credit and debit, card if i want to embrace bitcoin, i like to use it directly from my HW without the neet for a card

also i can smell from here that there are not good fees, or some of them are bad enough, to convince me that it's not good to have one

Correct and agree. If exist the site which make publicity to one card and in this site are not shown the various fee that this card have, better forget about it. According to my experience this is, at least, lack of professionalism and mostly bait to have your attention. And hope that you will be attracted by the appearance and become their customer.

Yes, fees. Instead of having your money complete and intact, you still have to pay for fees (and some hidden, extra charges unless you readthe terms) even when you're not using the card--except for git cards of course.
