Hmm... the fee for ATM withdrawal is a bit on the higher side. BTC0.02 is equivalent to $5. If I am withdrawing $200 through the ATM, then I'll be paying 5.5% as the fees ($5 plus 3% Mastercard commission). But it is still better than using the Localbitcoins to convert BTC to fiat, as the vendors there normally charge as much as 10% for the currency exchange.

This advantage is destroyed by inactive monthly fee of 0.05 BTC. You need to us a minimum of 5 times a month or a have a balance of 5 BTC(IIRC) in BIT-X.

I believe that the limit of five times a month is too high. It should be lowered to once a month, or once every two months. Else the inactive fee would cost us BTC0.60 every year, which is equivalent to $144. For me this is a very big amount and it lowers the attraction of using the debit card. I have received my debit card by the way... have to activate it now.

Used the BIT-X Bitcoin Debit MasterCard to withdraw $160 from the local ATM. These are the charges: Fiat from ATM: BTC0.701 BIT-X COMMISSION: BTC0.01 Master Card Commission: BTC0.02103 Total: BTC0.73203 Overall, quite satisfied with the services. Will definitely use again.

This is the transaction summary which is coming in my profile page. Yeah.... the monthly inactive fee (0.6 Bitcoin per year) is a big headache. But I am going to use this card for at least a few months. Can't trust Localbitcoins after all the recent scandals. I need a second option to convert my coins to fiat.

Let me ask Marco about that. Have you tried AdvCash or e-coin.io?

Sorry for not updating. Quoting answer here. Since the card is still in the 'relatively new' stage, fees may vary (if they vary they will be lower than the stated fee!).
Stated fees may drop soon too.

Any geographic limitation on country or residency of the customer? It's a UK company afaik.
eidt: never mind, I see it can be shipped anywhere in the world. Great.
