Title: Virtual Credit Card
Post by: tupack on January 19, 2019, 05:23:24 PM
What are the options for virtual credit cards? Topped up via BTC, preferrably. Or maybe there is a service where you could send BTC and ask them to buy a specific item / service, like (now gone) all4btc?

Basically, I need a BTC <-> stores accepting only CCs brigde, VCCs and all4btc are examples of that. Any other? It's frustrating how little cryptos are supported.

There is Localcoin  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5062444.0;topicseen)which is available for Canada only IIRC. Alternatively, you could use Shipito which accepts bitcoin as a deposit method and have "Assisted purchase" option where they buy items from stores in the U.S on your behalf but there will be some fees for that and you'll need to ship it from their warehouse afterward.

TheBigCoin looks pretty legit. You can use Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero and Dash to buy anything you want (even a car apparently).

Those fees are shocking though I guess the market supports it.

Any crypto debit card is hard to come by these days, let alone virtual ones.

OP, where are you located? There might be some specific services for your part of the world.

Examples of non-virtual ones? I can setup VPNs or find someone from a specific country, so location is not important.

You'll probably have to verify with all of them so VPNs won't be much use if you're somewhere awkward. A local could work.

Wirex for the EU. Coinbase and Bitpay for the US.

It makes a lot more sense if you have a local exchange to send to your normal banking if it has a debit card.

It does matter because you'll have to verify your account by sending documents. I managed to find the most updated list  (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DRbTeMCzb4UeXI0YlAzBxMc2u2i0cN_17Ql6eMngK6E/edit#gid=0)out there, check it out.

Is this a very responsible and safe service?

this list only benefits US citizens and EEA, it seems that the rest of the countries are part of another planet.

The good times are gone, I bought many things with my virtual card, I miss him

What became of Wagecan? They didn't care where you were.

They did charge something like $200 for a card and it took a week to load so there's no way I would ever use something like that. Their website doesn't refer to cards any more but their twitter alludes to ongoing card loads.

Why? Because they are not working right now? What's the big deal with it?

I don't know if that's a new requirement, but looks like they don't accept USA citizens.
