[FONT=&quot]The Shift Card is a VISA debit card that currently allows Coinbase users in select states and territories (see list below) in the U.S. to spend bitcoin anywhere VISA is accepted.

[h=2]How do transactions work?[/h]When you use your Shift debit card to make a purchase, the equivalent value of bitcoin (based on the current spot price of bitcoin on Coinbase) will be debited from your Coinbase bitcoin wallet. For certain transactions, like gas purchases and dinner bills, Shift will debit more than the purchase amount, and will refund you the remainder when the final payment amount is settled. Further details of Shift’s authorization procedures are available here.

[h=2]How much does it cost?[/h]

• There is an initial issuance fee of $10
• There are no transaction fees on domestic transactions for a limited time
• There are no fees associated with the exchange of bitcoin to USD
• Other fees may apply to certain transactions (outlined in the Shift Payments FAQ)

[h=2]How do I get one?[/h]If you live in an eligible state, you can get your Shift Card by completing the two-step sign up onhttps://shiftpayments.com...

1. Using Coinbase Connect, authorize Shift Payments to debit from your Coinbase wallet.

• You specify which wallet to spend from with your Shift Payments card
• By default, the daily spending limit is $1,000. You can lower this limit to any amount below $1,000.
• The daily ATM withdrawal limit is $200.

2. Order the card by verifying your identity and authorizing payment of the $10 issuance fee

• The payment will be made in bitcoin from your Coinbase wallet

There's another Bitcoin card out now where you can withdrawal $2,500 a day at an atm www.bitpay.com .. I have the shift card, it only allows $200 a day and it's tied in with coinbase only. With the bitpay card you don't even need a circle or coinbase account. Transfer direct to bitpay card address from blockchain and hit up the atm on the spot

I'd definately recommend using a mixer.. For payouts I always went book to blockchain to exchange and circle closed my account down.. I only used circle 4 times, never direct and they still shut me down .. They can still see where the coins come from if they decide to look into it... I haven't had any problems with coinbase, which Ive got a good 30+ transactions in the past year.. I haven't cashed out since the end of nhl last season , but I plan on using a mixer every time for now on just to cover my ass..

What mixer would you recommend? Any fees to do that? And where does the mixer fit in during the process of putting on a book and taking off a book?

thanks for the info, I'm pretty new to the bitcoin thing as well and just looking for the best way to handle the money .

 

[he_dblhockeystx]

I havn't used a mixer yet, so i don't know which one to recommend. you can always google bitcoin mixer and find one that way. I havn't cashed out anything since the stanley cup. Im going to start using one once i get on a roll again to help avoid what happened to me at circle

I'm Still Trying To Get This Set Up...
I Was Told Earlier Today By 2 Reputable, But Separate Books
That I Must Set Up ****** First, Lunk It To My Bnk ATM Card,
Then Link BitCoin To ******. I've Set Up Both ****** & BitCoin
And Have The Apps On My IPhone 6S. But Bitcoin Is Still Waiting
For Me To Confirm 2 "small withdrawals" that have been taken from
my Checking Account, Which Is Linked To My ATM Card On File.
I Started This Pricess On FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23....Still Not Complete.
I'm Sorry, But This Shit Is Complicated! I Miss The Days Of
NetTeller & ********! Where Can I Find A Prepaid International
Visa or MasterCard!?!

Any recommendations where you can buy bitcoin instantly online with a card? (Not coinbase)

has anyone used or heard of http://buy.bitcoin.com

 

[drpugilist]

can i buy bitcoin with a prepaid credit card? i dont want any connection to any personal bank accounts. i will also never use bitcoin to receive money, only send.
so, from what ive read, i would buy btc from coinbase, set up blockchain or a middle person such as Poloniex to send money from coinbase to and then from here send to wherever correct?

thanks for the help.

Blockchain is just a wallet.

Consider it the middle man.

Instead of having your book transfer directly to Coinbase, for example, and somehow Coinbase finding out it is a book that you just transferred from, have the book transfer to a wallet which just holds Bitcoin (no selling, buying, or trading) first.
Then to Coinbase or another of your choice.

To answer your question though, ive heard of no problems with blockchain since it it just a wallet.

Again, wallets simply store Bitcoin.
You cannot buy, sell, trade, or withdraw to bank.

Its like a safe where you store your Bitcoin
This is a wallet.
There are others besides Blockchain.

Therefore, you have to also create an account at one of the places like Coinbase to transfer your Bitcoin to from your wallet, so you are able to cash out (sell) to your bank. (Or buy).

I know i was repetitive in explaining this, but trying to help others understand who havent yet.

Once you get started, it's a piece of cake...

Haven't used in a while.

Is it still necessary to send to a wallet first, like blockchain, before sending to coinbase?

From Blockchain.org I transfer it to Gemini, instead of Coinbase. Gemini is cheaper. And from Gemini you sell it and withdrawal it back to your bank account.

Ever have any problems with Gemini?

Nope. It's good. It is the Winklevosses' Exchange.

I did notice back then that it seemed like Coinbase's fees were getting more expensive.

For those trying to decide if it's worth the trouble getting another account open & running, how much cheaper is Gemini?

 

[exploited17]

Honestly it is such a pain in the ass to set up. I want to send money to start a new account so I'm going to send it a different way so I have it available by tomorrow instad of waiting 4-5 days. But, eventually I want a Bitcoin account so I can receive the withdrawls faster and send money easier. But for the immediate moment I am sending another way

 

[WhiteyBulger]

I've experienced higher percentage of fees with bitcoin. I've only used it a couple times for small amounts but I did use coinbase to block chain as a buffer

 

[sunshine11]

I have a coinbase account. With my debt card linked to my bank account. A couple weeks ago I was notified by my bank that someone did fraudulent charges on my debit card that was linked to my coinbase. Tried to rip me off for $800 ! Lucky I got it back. Let coinbase know. Not going back there ever again!
