Title: The Bitcoin Card
Post by: SgtMoth on June 17, 2013, 03:32:05 PM
Has anyone else tried to withdraw cash off their card?  It took 7 business days to load and today I tried to withdraw cash and was declined, Im in canada.  Anyone try buying anything with it?

I just got the email confirming the load and then ran to the ATM and got a "transaction is not aprroved" message.  I bought 50 euros, they took a 13.50 fee too.

That is not economical.

Total fee was $16, I see myself chopping up this card and mailing back to them!  Curious to know if anyone else got one and tried buying something in North America?

Im hearing for 1000 euros, its $27.50.  Maybe its a good thing not to be able to take cash off it.
