Was thinking of looking at some of the other cards sometime this week and now I have a nice summary to work from.



I have a Bit-X and a Xapo card on order. Guess I'll be using the Xapo one the most due to the free POS purchases. The 0.002 BTC for POS purchases on Bit-X does not seem that high but it quickly adds up when your local currency is not the dollar and also if its much weaker than the dollar.



Edit: Just did a quick calculation. The Bit-X card actually works out cheaper for me for POS purchases.



With Xapo there is no fee for the POS purchase but there is a 3% currency conversion charge (guess this applies if not in US$),

With Bit-X its 0.002 BTC +1% for a POS purchase which actually works out cheaper as the amount gets larger (obviously dependant on what the bitcoin price is at time of transaction)

If we want to achieve mainstream adoption then we need people to spend bitcoin. Has anybody got any experiences using bitcoin debit cards that they could share with us? Do these cards work at regular fiat accepting merchants, in normal chip & pin store checkouts?



Elwar was about earlier, I'm sure he will have used one or two of these service providers.

It would be great to see some feedback from those who already have used one of these cards.I am watching for quite some period but still didn't step in to take one for me.

I've used all 4 just fine.



The card I decided to stick with was the Bit-X card, it was the best suited me.

Just wanna lets you know that bit-X is the worst prepaid card DONT FUCKING BUY IT cause :



1 - In order to cashout from ATM , every transaction amount must be less than 70% of your balance



2 - its funny how they say Monthly fees is free for the first 10000 users ... (MotherFuckers)



3 - Fees are too fucking high and so shady.





And other things i think a respected member will mention them soon .

I have a Bit-x card, you choose between EUR and USD. I chose EUR since I'm in Europe. Tried it on the military base which is US based and it was declined (expected).



I will try the card some time this week, I usually just pay for cash for everything so this will be different.



I think I ordered a Xapo card like 2 times, I've never received it.



Bit-x dropped their monthly inactivity fee as far as I could tell. First seastead company actually selling sea homes: Ocean Builders https://ocean.builders Of course we accept bitcoin.

These cards are for people that have a good amount of bitcoin flow, because you must use your card for not being charged with a monthly fee. English <-> Brazilian Portuguese translations
