Title: buy bitcoins with prepaid visa/debit cards?
Post by: noot on October 11, 2011, 08:20:20 PM
Hi. Clearly I'm a noob. Does anyone know a way to buy bitcoins with prepaid visa/debit cards? It seems from my completely inexperienced viewpoint that prepaid would be a desirable method of purchase, but I'm afraid this merely shows how green I am.

Thanks for your time :-)

The best place to watch for that is the wiki:

GetBitcoin says they'll take prepaid cards but they are currently down - I don't know how reputable they are either...

Haven't found any place that accepts pre paid cards. Maybe coinpal will come back, they said the earliest would be october

You can apparently buy Bit coins via prepaid debit on https://get-bitcoin.com/ (https://get-bitcoin.com/) as stated above, but its quite a hassle. You have to physically mail them the the card and wait for a couple days until they receive it.   :-\
