My BitPay Bitcoin Visa Debit Card Has Arrived! WooHoo!!
Things are changing quickly and for the better. I just received my BitPay Bitcoin Visa debit card. To me, this is a real game changer.
Getting paid to post on Steemit was the first thing that has made a positive change in my life. I am so thankful that I found this platform, you have no idea. The issue that I had was, how I was going to spend all the sweet Steem Dollars I plan on making.
That’s where this debit card comes in. Once I found out about the BitPay Visa card I ordered it right away. It cost $9.95 and I had to have some Bitcoin in my wallet in order to get. Not a big deal.
The ordering process was simple, I just had to fill out the usual personal information and that was that. It took about ten days to arrive and I was delighted when it showed up today.
One of the main reasons I wanted this card was not just as a way to spend my cryptocurrency. One reason was that this will give me the freedom to travel to a lot of different countries. For example, I want to travel to Columbia, but my bank will not work there. I cannot use my card. But now, with this card, I can go. And that is not the only country. There is a whole list of countries that are blacklisted from my bank. This is why the BitPay card is so important to me.
Behold! Here it is in all its glory!
Once I received it, I had to activate it. The process was simple, as well. I just went to the BitPay site and filled in the card number, expiration date, and the 3 digit number on the back. That was it.
Now I am ready to go. This card will give me a lot of options and that is always a good thing. If you would like to get one of these bad boys yourself, just head over to the BitPay website and get started.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention fees.
There are no charges to purchase domestically. $2.00 domestic ATM charge. $3.00 international ATM charge and 3% international exchange fee for purchases.
nice
are the fees ok for everyday use?
Damn! I forgot to put that in the post! No charge to use the card to pay domestically. $2.00 domestic ATM charge. $3.00 foreign ATM charge and 3% international transaction fee.
Thats not bad!
Enjoy it!
Soon I go and make too :) I want it :)
It's a good deal.
I hope... i go and see :))
Can it be used anywhere visa and MasterCard accepted?
Do you think cash back is an option?
I saw the advertisment but I didn't act on it. How can I get one now? Website?
It can be used anywhere visa is accepted. As for cash back it looks like it is still $2.00 fee. Yes, just go to the website and apply.
Where do you live? Wonder if this card also available at where I live.
I don't have too much cryptocurrencies to spend but owning this card and experience it, make me feel I am catching up with the developimg world.
How do you apply for it?
I'm in California. You just go to the BitPay site and create a wallet and then order the card.
Awesome, I've been waiting to hear how the bitpay works.
