Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys,

can we sum up services which allow people to buy Bitcoin using their credit cards in one single BT thread? I would really like to hear from people who have been actually using these services and what is your experience with verification and the entire process.

So, what s the best way to buy BTC using CC?

Coinbase. Not had any issues but they change the daily limits. I've gone from £100 to £500 and now its down to £40. They provide no explanation for this.

Anyone here tried coinmama? I heard they also accept Credit Card payments for buying Bitcoins, it's just that I'm hesitant on using their service as I have not heard any review yet about that site.

This is it, I think this is the best choice too.

Do they require 3D secure CC like cex.io for example? Also, Coinbase currently supports 32 countries only, lots of people might be left behind.
What else?

Also neither Circle nor Coinbase accept cards from my country. What else is out there?

You can buy with a card from bittylicious.com I believe. I'm sure there are plenty of restrictions but it might be worth a look. I'm pretty amazed anyone's doing it considering the leeway for mischief.

I have bitcoin and mine bitcoin.
It is my policy to never sell BTC for credit card debt, because to do so dilutes the positive-money property of bitcoin.
If any chimp can have $ debt at the same time as BTC holdings then that would encourage criminal behavior and consumption of resources by people who have spent their dosh already.

Surely you can wait until the day before payday and then convert your surplus to bitcoin?

Buying bitcoin with a credit card is a horrible idea for all parties involved, and for a lot of reasons.  Do you mean debit cards?   I used to buy coins on coinbase and I didn't think they took cc's.

I bought linden dollars on virwox with premium cc card(3v)and transferred to Bitcoin. It was the most easy way I found only you pay something extra. https://www.virwox.com (https://www.virwox.com)

what the hell are linden dollars?

coinbase and use a debit card with your cash. Never
pay interest on an investment. Unless of course you plan
on paying off the card before the end of the month and
you won't get any fees

Linden dollars is the currency used in second life. I know this trick is working because I did it before after I was searching long time for option to buy Bitcoin with prepaid credit card.

What re fees for something like this?

This is mine transaction history the price change from time to time. Bought 20€ 3v card(€1 fee paid to 3v). At that time I received 0.054 Bitcoin. Have waited a bit for good time to do the exchange.

Genesis Mining is accepting Credit cards, with the observation that they hold the earnings for a month to prevent chargebacks. It's not exacly "buying bitcoin" but, well, my 2 cents (i mean, 2 satoshis).

Genesis Mining is piece of shit service. Only total noob can use them cause they simply offer no chance of ROI whatsoever.

Instead of exchanging through coinbase or others. We can find right traders and crash for bitcoins. I feel this is better Inspite of giving your details to the site and make transactions for bitcoins. Check the local traders near to your city and crash your card BTC.

I bought from 247exchange.com many times with credit card. They send immediately (automated), takes few steps to verify but it goes fast and is done only once.
Also their rates are more than fair for a direct deal.

I have customer who need to buy really big quantity BTC/LTC through his bank debit card.
But I found, that they are small daily limits. He needs much more than 10k USD/1day (as for example in cex.io)
Can anyone recommend reliable fast Exchange?

All cards have pretty low limits on them. It's just too dodgy to be selling tens of thousands worth via a card. I think your customer may have to rethink. The exchange depends on what country they're in. There are plenty of European ones where a bank transfer will show up the same day. 

I know, I always recommend bank transfer, but my customer insists on payment by debit card. I dont know why (he is from Russia)...

Circle and WesellCrypto probably are the 2 best places.

Looks like his heart is going to be broken then. I don't think any conventional joints will ever want to play with him.

No matter who you choose its going to be a pain in the butt.

Your going to have to verify all your info (take pictures with your ID and passport) because the threat
to just say your card was stolen and then they take the money away and you steal the bitcoin.

Its to much of a pain in my opinion and rather use cash. If you have to use a credit card should you really
be buying bitcoin and paying interest? maybe if your about to fire bankruptcy lol....

be careful ppl from russia to be honest, there is a lot a lot of stolen cc cases and i encounter one too. it ended up very painfully for me.

Have you tried contacting your bank to ask about 3D secure? My bank too has some cards that don't have it but most do as of recently.

sure,the best way to buy bitcoin with credit card only on coinbase ;D i think coinbase is the most secure and fastest,i just use it for some year.
