Title: circle registrations are now open. can use debit cards to buy Post by: coinmoneyfarm on September 30, 2014, 01:27:57 AM there are two options on circle.com :
1. link bank account 2. link credit card i registered and linked my icici bank visa debit card and just to test bought bitcoins worth 2 dollars. whole process took me less than 2 minutes (from registering to getting bitcoins in my circle account). i believe this is revolutionary. buying bitcoins was to be frank was bit of pain as people on localbitcoins were selling it at higher price than market it it sometimes took me hours to purchase. try this service and you will be blown away just like me.

Like yourself, getting hold of btc to buy without being scammed has been a bit of a pain in the butt Title: Re: circle registrations are now open. can use debit cards to buy Post by: newIndia on September 30, 2014, 11:46:47 AM there are two options on circle.com : 1. link bank account 2. link credit card i registered and linked my icici bank visa debit card and just to test bought bitcoins worth 2 dollars. whole process took me less than 2 minutes (from registering to getting bitcoins in my circle account). i believe this is revolutionary. buying bitcoins was to be frank was bit of pain as people on localbitcoins were selling it at higher price than market it it sometimes took me hours to purchase. try this service and you will be blown away just like me. Be careful. They are accepting Credit Card. This business model is going to be dead abused by charge back and stolen cards. I'm also interested to see how long they can keep selling at market rate.

Is it just US based bank accounts or do Indian ones work as well?

Does it work or not for Indian bank accts/CC's?
Confirmations either way would be helpful for the community Title: Re: circle registrations are now open. can use debit cards to buy Post by: shahadil on October 04, 2014, 08:27:17 AM Used my indian credit card to buy. hassle free. however, i was charged under cash advance and not credit. cash advance fees are quite high. not the best option.

Can u please explain what does this quite high mean in terms of %. Suppose u r buying 10000 INR worth of Bitcoin. How much will it actually cost u ? Title: Re: circle registrations are now open. can use debit cards to buy Post by: thenoblebot on October 04, 2014, 05:30:36 PM So we can buy BTC from a US based site using credit cards ? Any legal perspective to be aware of here ?

It depends from credit card to credit card. it is best to check with your credit card company.

That is ridiculous! Were you notified in advance that it would be charged as a cash withdrawal?

Cash advance is a feature you should never use on a credit card. The fees can be ridiculously high. They usually levy a transaction charge of 2.5-3% and start levying interest charges (which can go up to 3.6% per month) immediately on the transaction. So if you make the purchase now and pay your credit card bill in a month's time, you can end up paying a 6% charge! Title: Re: circle registrations are now open. can use debit cards to buy Post by: Sindelar1938 on October 05, 2014, 02:26:11 AM It would be good to understand if the cash advance was triggered by an Indian credit card being used or if there was some other reason
Title: Re: circle registrations are now open. can use debit cards to buy Post by: shahadil on October 05, 2014, 10:32:24 AM When you are about to purchase, there is a small lime below which says, your bank may charge you a cash advance feel

Probably a few other European countries may enjoy not being charged under cash advance by Circle. As a result BitStamp & BTC-e will survive instead of Circle... only losing the US and a few European customer base. :) Title: Re: circle registrations are now open. can use debit cards to buy Post by: RocketSingh on June 07, 2015, 09:05:57 PM Has anyone been successful in selling bitcoin on Circle and withdraw the fund in India ?
