Title: how to move BTC to prepay?
Post by: wuzamarine on January 24, 2016, 12:08:02 PM
I am logged into localbitcoins and notice that Dwolla is gone, GreenDot is dead and Google Wallet is dying.
All of the methods for flipping a quick $100 on to a prepaid card for me are gone.
I don't use PreyPal.

What or some methods now for US residents to convert small amounts of BTC in USD without a multi day account transfer?

I have a few different pre paid Visa cards to choose from

for my personal purpose I use one e-coin card virtual for on line service.
And one "physical" with advcash for "bigger amounts" converted quickly in cash.
I am living in europe  ??? I don't know your laws but you can check by yourself.
Maybe you can use one or both cards.

There isn't a wide variety of choices for quick transfers except face to face transactions which can take a few hours of your time. Advcash and E-coin are great choices but the loading fees are a tad bit on the higher side with lower limits.

Otherwise, you can try to find a local Bitcoin* ATM that allows the withdrawal of money. It only takes maximum an hour or so after verification to sell coins.

Both of these require you to register your prepaid card and receive a personalized one in your name.

AmEx Serve - You can do transfers between cards, called Serve to Serve. I believe AmEx Bluebird has the same thing.
Netspend prepaid debit - Flashpay transfers between cards.

I have both so sell your BTC to me!
