It was a good read... not sure why label "suspicious"... anyways it's in the Wallstreet Journal (ooh suspicious).

SnapCard fee is high for german users. Are there any advantages using service in Germany besides using bitcoin.

The odds of winning SnapCard’s contest are roughly 1:274,877,906,944.

Hmm... good luck with that. Who is going to buy SnapCard, just to enter in this contest?

Unlike similar contests, a purchase is necessary to qualify: contestants have to spend at $75 in transactions on snapCard’s website between now and month’s end

Not worth the risk.
