WageCan - Gold card

[servsec]

Hi bptovtmg,
thanks for asking me this question.
The answer is simple - the cost of the card itself is much more expensive than another card, and the price includes DHL shipping fee.

Yeah DHL shipping is included in the fee so actual card cost is around 80$ without shipping fee because DHL cost around $50.

Why you guys want 1-7 working days to top up cards with bitcoin? Can't you make that instant, also which exchange rates will be used when converting bitcoin into fiat? It will be converted on the day of deposit or when you guys will manually upload balance to our card?

Seems it is done manually. Very strange this "company" anyway.

Forget this card. Let's see about uquid. Their system is under maintenance but I received my card already.

Not sure, but it should works as I've tried this with other card provider before

Is this card not blocked by Crest and working now ?

Wagecan card provider is not Wavecrest, hence the reason why  they can still distribute cards outside EU

Is this card have support secure online payment technology Mastercard® SecureCode™ or Verified by Visa. ?

Not sure, you have to ask their support, but most Bitcoin Debit Card doesn't have mastercard securecode for sure

Is this card have support secure online payment technology Mastercard® SecureCode™ or Verified by Visa. ?

You must be so desperate to waste $225 on plastic debit card

This is my main reason why I won't buy Wagecan, ridiculous price and the fact that they didn't have Virtual Card available
I'm using most of my money for online payment, it's not worth it to have physical card for this reason alone

Okay im will use wagecan can anyone say it works now or not

[bratko99]

Haha how can't they guarantee??
It's a CARD. Really unusual. Do they work outside EEA?
Although i don't recommend them!

Would advise to check other options.

Wagecan is great service - for very long time.

Now one of very few that works.

Despite fees, conversion rates and load delay - its a no brainer.

Seriously - Wagecan rocks.

That's the price you need to pay if you want a Bitcoin debit card outside the USA. WageCan card isn't provided by Wave Crest (which is probably why they cost so much), so they weren't blocked by the recent rule that killed 95% of the Bitcoin debit card ecosystem.

The other way is to order the one from Bitpay. But those are only issued in the USA (by Metropolitan Commercial Bank) since the card for non-USA users was also provided by WaveCrest.

For the user talking about UQUID, they also stopped working: https://uquid.com/blog/2018/01/uquid-update-17-1-2018

Such price can’t be justified as the service can’t be guaranteed.
If they guarantee the card will be working during all time I really don’t mind to pay even a higher fee.

I also asked them the same question and after talking to them I realized that they did not have to guarantee it because they are not the ones who make the cards, if they do not make the cards, how do you want them to make such guarantees?
we are at the mercy of the goodwill of the visa and the mastercard

That's the price you need to pay if you want a Bitcoin debit card outside the USA.

you are right, this is one of those situations where people should not complain about the few options they have

[SiberianWanderer]

Like many of you, I'm looking for an alternative after my btc cards got blocked due to the WaveCrest fiasco, seems that WageCan is the only viable solution for now.

Can any report if top-up (loading) process is still being processed manually and take up to a few days? Read about it before and seemed strange considering that all other cards are loaded near instantly.

[warningsigns]

seems that WageCan is the only viable solution for now.

There is another option, Mistertango:  

https://mistertango.com/en/

The account is free and it is an IBAN account. It comes with a MasterCard which is vastly cheaper than the WageCan card.

The MasterCard is directly linked to the IBAN account which can be loaded with bitcoins. The account comes with a dedicated bitcoin address. When you send coins to that address, it is converted at best available rate on this exchange:  http://btc-exchange.com/

And their ANN thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1972805.0

For a clear picture of their card's charges, check their fee prospectus:

https://mistertango.com/en/mastercard

This is what I see on my own account:

How to deposit money to this account with BTC
Transfer your Bitcoin to given BTC address and they will be automatically changed into Euros. If the obtained value will be more than 5% lower than market value, your Bitcoin will not be changed. At your convenience you will be able to sell your Bitcoins by yourself at Bitmarket.
Note: Bitcoin will be changed into Euros after 1 network confirmation. This service is provided by Bitmarket.
Deposit fee: 1 % (minimum 0.0025 BTC)

Thanks for info, I've never heard of Mistertango before 
Too bad it seems only folks residing in EEA (European Economic Area) countries can get the card, I don't so I'll have to keep searching for another solution.

Nope.. I live in Asia. And I have the account and the card.

Works perfectly here. I convert my bitcoins into Euros on the account and from that account, I transfer some of the money to my regular bank account via SEPA. I also use the card at ATMs and for paying in stores/shops  and restaurants here. Never declined. It's a really good card.

That's great to know, but maybe they mean only EEA citizens can apply? (I'm not an EEA citizen)

No, I'm a non-EEA national. I live in Asia and I hold a passport of an Asian country. It's the same passport I used to apply for and verify my Mistertango account.

Try to apply. It won't cost a thing and no harm in trying. You need to download their app on the Google playstore or on the iOS app store. The identity verification system is integrated within the app. When you pass the verification stage, the account is instantly created and active. You can then order the card. They DHL'd me the card (on my request and at additional cost which I paid as I was really excited to get it quickly!).

Fantastic, thanks warningsigns! That was much appreciated  

I'll definitely give it a try soon.

[ghaffarj]

Can anyone confirm if wagecan cars still works as i have been trying ro reach their support but i have bit received any response from them so far. Payza card has already been suspended along with many ither Cryptocurrency cards. I think wagecan is the last one. Please confirm if it still works so I can place my order.  Thanks

How did you ask them to send you through DHL. In the app they mentioned that they do not support my country. What should I do?
