Really want this card. This is the one
I'm Living in London Can I send bitcoin to this card and after that transfer from this card to my bank account ?
Yes, fully available. You can check their faq which are very complete but I can already confirm you it is available ;)
Note to self, check this out when I get back to reliable internet
Is it possible to pay with $ and get Cashback as Crypto ? Because I don t want to spend my Crypto.
Hello,
Yes it is possible to send some $ or € to your account and spend them with the credit card that they provide and you will receive the cashback in crypto because it is only in BTC.
awesome are there any fees for Deposit ? , because if there is more than 0.5% fee it isn t worth to get the Card for me.
Are they actually issuing cards? I signed up with TenX well over 6 months ago and still haven’t received my card.
Yes, vitual credit cards are available since months and the plastic credit card is available since last week . So I don't know the delay for the new users but for sure credit cards are now available.
I’ll take s look and try and sign up. TenX are a complete waste of time.
Credit or debit card ?
Interesting one considering the fact of low charges as mentioned.
In countries like India where cryptocurrencies are banned, I am not sure how useful this as we cannot transfer make purchases or transfer funds directly from a crypto wallet or crypto exchanges.
An alternative is to get the crypto currency converted to $ or our local currency and get it transferred through paypal.
May I ask you to explain whether this Wirex will be useful for us considering the ban on cryptos?
Thanks in advance.
I don't know all the limitations in your contry so it is kinda hard to advise you. Check their website, they have a FAQ and explanations very complete, you will perhaps find all what need there.
This sounds incredibly useful. I’ll check if it is available in Australia.
Tell me, do you have any involvement in this company or are your links affiliate links? This reads like an advertisement is all.
I'm a user of their platform and so yeah I used my affiliate link in order to receive some fees back... nothing exceptionnal I can say you... Their product is very good compared to other companies and so my main goal is to show it to other cryptofans. Up to you to make your searches and own opinion. Take care.
No problem mate. Just curious is all. I'll definitely check it out however after a quick look I don't think it is available in my country yet. Looks awesome though so thanks for sharing.
