What exactly do you mean by 'a credit card that allows online shopping'? You can use any credit card for paying online. You are looking for a credit card that allows you to use Bitcoin instead of fiat, right? There are several projects that pursue exactly that. Have a look at e.g.:
  • TenX
  • Monaco
  • Amon
  • TokenCard
  • Centra

If you are not an EU citizen and/or doesn't want to provide your ID and proof of residence to a third party, then you probably are out of luck. Most Bitcoin loaded cards only work for EU citizens and 99% of them need KYC verification.

If you don't meet both requirements, you can use a website like TheBigCoin (https://www.thebigcoin.io/) to buy anything in the internet with BTC.

I only know the major companies accept the purchase of bitcoin such as Dell, Newegg, Showroomprive.com, TigerDirect, Bitcoinshop.us, AirBaltic, CheapAir.com, BTCTrip,...

AFAIK , Centra is a scam

You don't need to waste money by converting Bitcoin through a bank. Just pay directly with Bitcoin. Lots of web services and suppliers accept Bitcoin directly.

You can get a bitcoin debit card with Bitpay (US, https://bitpay.com/card/), Wirex (EU, https://wirexapp.com/card/) or WageCan (International, https://wagecan.com/card-apply). Advcash may provide a new bitcoin debit card card soon. You can check here for other providers: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=223.0 Sadly the providers now require KYC (scan of passport or drivers license) so that anonymous cards are no longer possible.

You can also use https://thebigcoin.io to make purchases with bitcoin. TheBigCoin uses their credit card, bank account or Paypal account to buy the product you want and you pay them in BTC. This is possible anonymously, but if you want to buy a physical product, you need to provide your address for shipping.

In addition you can buy Amazon products with a 15% discount with bitcoin at https://purse.io

There is supposed to be a reboot of the project under a different management, so it's not dead yet. But that's why I made it in italics. Either way, he/she needs to research each project anyway, so it doesn't hurt to mention it  :)

Credit card= bank system. So you must verify your ID and proof of address at least before the activation of these cards.
Some online stores accept these cards "Mostly products can be used for all ages and do not require personal information." without activation, but these stores are limited.
As far as I know, the only way to buy is  Amazon balance [use this wallet to get amazon cards ---> https://copay.io/], and from there you can buy anything.

If you don't meet both requirements, you can use a website like TheBigCoin (https://www.thebigcoin.io/) to buy anything in the internet with BTC.
Interested, it's the first time that I hear about this site.

I don't know any Bitcoin credit cards. Probably you're looking for debit card. Currently there are not many Bitcoin debit cards in market. Personally I'm using Mistertango, you can try them if you are from EU. I used their debit card to pay on many online shops and haven't got any problems. Card is free, but there are some service fees.
You don't need to waste money by converting Bitcoin through a bank. Just pay directly with Bitcoin. Lots of web services and suppliers accept Bitcoin directly.
It would be perfect to pay with BTC directly, but unfortunately it's not always possible. Number of shops and services accepting BTC is still very limited. So, these Bitcoin debit cards can be a great alternative.

I see no problem with that. The point is paying with Bitcoin and not paying anonymously, that is a completely different topic at all because just paying with Bitcoin doesn't make the transaction anonym. So there really is no big difference if you have to verify your ID in order to get a credit card.

Currently, around 100,000 stores now accept payment for Bitcoin Cash services. The issuance of virtual credit cards will make more people accept virtual money. I only know "Marui" is a chain of shopping centers in Japan specializing in high-end brands, serving young people accept payment by Bitcoin.

I need a bitcoin credit card that allows online shopping.

Here's the best cryptocurrency debit card list (https://www.cryptowisser.com/) for you. All of them should accept online shopping. Cryptopay (http://cryptopay.me/join/d30b7da0) is currently the highest rated card.

Good luck!

All the best,

Good overview, thanks! Unfortunately, the card info is outdated on many cards. Would be great if this could be updated. just an example: the supported coins mentioned on the Tenx page (https://www.cryptowisser.com/card/tenx/) aren't accurate. So it's really hard to decide based on this data.

Hi mithrim,

Our pleasure! Thanks for letting us know that some of the info was outdated. We spent a few hours updating the supported cryptocurrencies of each card. Can you please have a look again and see if you find anything you know is incorrect? MANY THANKS!

All the best,
Cryptowisser
