We all need off ramps for our digital currencies! For the first time I'll be transferring some of my "hard earned" (actually it's been lot's of fun) SBD to my new debit card and using it for my upcoming vacation! A Steemcation! What a Blast!
Disclaimer: If you check my third ever post I did withdraw some SBD at a Bitcoin machine and bought some drinks for my family just to prove that all of this was real! Please see: Can an Old (Entrepreneurial) Dog Learn New Crypto Tricks? Part Three
Why Did I Pick The Advanced Cash Debit Card?
- They came highly recommended by a very crypto experienced and technically skilled Steemit member!
- They offer cash loading in either Euro or U.S. dollars. I need Euro!
- It can be used to withdraw cash from any MasterCard-enabled ATM and for shopping with any merchant that supports MasterCard.
- For verified card holder's the limits are extremely high! $100,000 per day, $250,000 per month and $10,000 per transaction. You can also transfer up to $999,000 to other Advanced Cash Card Holders per day and month with a $99,999 per transaction limit! I can't ever imagine needing those limits. One can however dream!
What Are The Fees Like?
- First of all the card cost me only 4.99 EUR and it arrived in about a week! They said within 8 weeks on FAQ's
- To withdraw funds in either U.S. dollars or EUR the fee is 1.99
- Purchases in U.S. dollars or EUR are free of charge.
When Am I Going to Use The Card?
It arrived today but my vacation starts in a few weeks so I'll wait a while and hopefully the price of SBD will go up a bit. There are different funding options but SBD and Steem are not among them so I'll have to trade to Bitcoin and then to SBD.
Would You Like to See How The Card Arrived?
I thought so!
Here are the front and the back of the envelope:
Nice and discreet! Just as it should be!
This is what was inside the envelope:
It only took me a few moments to activate the card and I'm good to go!
So What's Next?
- In the next little while I'll be loading the card with some SBD
- I'll use that money on my upcoming vacation! My Steemcation!
- I'll write a review of the card in action!
What About You?
