Title: First Xapo Debit Cards to be mailed this month! Post by: Pente on July 02, 2014, 07:42:49 PM I just received this email:
Quote Hi Pente, We wanted to provide you with a quick update about the status of your Xapo Debit Card. Since this is the first true bitcoin debit card that is designed as a seamless extension of your bitcoin wallet, we and our card partner have had a lot of work to do! Fortunately, we are in the final stages of testing the card, and the first Xapo Debit Cards will be shipped in a few weeks. The plan for distribution is to ship the cards in batches. If you are not in the first wave of cards, don't worry. We will continue to distribute cards for everyone that has pre-ordered the card. You don’t need to take any action right now. Prior to shipping your card, we will follow up to confirm your shipping address. We appreciate your continued support of Xapo and we are working hard not just on the Xapo Debit, but on other innovative products, as well. For more information regarding the Xapo Debit Card, please visit our FAQ’s. Sincerely, Customer Support Team Unlike other bitcoin credit cards, Xapo will store your value in bitcoins and only exchange it at the moment you use your card. It still involves credit card fees, but for now this is a great improvement. Title: Re: First Xapo Debit Cards to be mailed this month!

Post by: protokol on July 02, 2014, 08:20:12 PM Is there any news from Mastercard re: Xapo??
I pre-ordered a card myself, but the last I heard was Mastercard denied having anything to do with Xapo. It's such a great idea, hope it's legit... [tinfoilhat] ...and not some honey-trap arranged by western government to reap bitcoin owners' real life addresses... [/tinfoilhat] edit: got an email too :D Title: Re: First Xapo Debit Cards to be mailed this month! Post by: Ron~Popeil on July 02, 2014, 08:46:43 PM This will be a great tool to help with fungibility. Ideally this would be something that is needed for a very short time as more merchants accept bit coin directly.

Title: Re: First Xapo Debit Cards to be mailed this month! Post by: Argwai96 on July 08, 2014, 10:47:37 PM I suspect we will see more delays coming down the pipeline. Here's to hoping that I'm wrong! :P
Title: Re: First Xapo Debit Cards to be mailed this month! Post by: Pente on December 24, 2019, 07:41:25 PM I am still waiting for my Xapo card ... lol
Title: Re: First Xapo Debit Cards to be mailed this month! Post by: Zionatin on December 24, 2019, 07:52:12 PM I was thinking of doing this but if I just exchange my crypto to fiat in the exchange then to my bank I can use the debit/credit card. To it is as if it were "prepaid" with XAPO you do not need to do that part it is done each time you pay. My problem is if you pay a Reddit card fee every time you use the XAPO wallet then what's the point? I hope some users hear can comment on their experiences.
Title: Re: First Xapo Debit Cards to be mailed this month! Post by: bitbunnny on December 24, 2019, 08:02:15 PM I didn't get that email from Xapo, hope I will and that they will provide debit cards for my country too.
I had Xapo card before until the moment they got into problem with Visa and withdrew all cards. However, that card wasn't perfect, from time to time I had problems in.stores so I hope they fixed that issues. Also, I don't think they are the only Bitcoin debit card provider that don't exchang your Bitcoin immediately but in the moment when you make the purchase. Sometimes that is not very convenient because you never know how much money you exactly have at your disposal. Title: Re: First Xapo Debit Cards to be mailed this month! Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on December 24, 2019, 08:13:07 PM I am still waiting for my Xapo card ... lol Big LOL, as I only noticed the date on the OP after reading the first few posts. What the hell happened here? I thought I read DaveF talking about using his Xapo card in the US a couple of weeks ago, and he mentioned that the US is the only country it works in. Is that the issue here?I suspect we will see more delays coming down the pipeline. Here's to hoping that I'm wrong! :P Glad you didn't bet money on that, dude. I usually report necrobumps, but this one was very informative.Title: Re: First Xapo Debit Cards to be mailed this month!

According to their website, in an article dated 2017, Xapo says VISA restricted their debit cards. And that page has not been updated since 2017.

Post by: jessyj48 on December 25, 2019, 10:15:07 AM The day xapo start giving users 100% access to their funds will be the day I will start using xapo service again, xapo was the first crypto wallet I used in the past and I lost my password till date I have no access to my wallet anymore
