apparently its not just loading. I cant pay with my card either, neither online nor at a POS.

the card should work fine now


Well, yes and no. It worked when I tried a small online purchase yesterday with my EUR card, but when I tried to withdraw some cash today, I got 'card refused' (balance is plenty). Ive not tried at a POS simply because I find it embarrassing to have a card refused at checkout.

I figured perhaps I had exceeded the limits on my unverified card, but I did the sums of all ATM transactions (the website is very unhelpful in figuring out totals or how close you are to the limits, I needed to add them up manually), I got to 980 euro, well below the 2500 limit. Even the overall sum is below €2500

So whats going wrong?

First this post:

apparently its not just loading. I cant pay with my card either, neither online nor at a POS.
the card should work fine now

and then after that follows this:

we are not isolating user funds, you can always transfer them if you want. The problem with card processing unfortunately still exists.
I want to apologise for service disruption this week, we still waiting for MyChoice to sort out the issue they've got. Will keep you posted

I don't get it....
What functions are working and what not... (loading card, POS tx, ATM tx, online tx ...)
is this a general problem or only for some users CC?
Please clarify.

This is not good for the e-coin company.
Lot of mess here, and isolating users fund is not good.
I think that by today this should be fixed as it is Monday and everything should be solved, maybe you got an email from them right?

Hello,

Im trying to activate my EUR card and im facing the following error:
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Is it because of the maintenance weekend?

I believe so.

I'm still curious, what is the purpose of $10 minimum to add funds to the card?

There are certain transaction costs and it serves as a sort of "fool-proof" filter

@gosha@e-coin: Don't get me wrong. Actually i really like the idea behind your business. I'm planning to order another card in EUR and also to open an account with you for my wife.
Despite my problems with the cards and some fees (mainly because of my local currency), i really really appreciate what you does and i believe that your "project" is very innovative and has a bright future in front of it. Thank you  Smiley
Just placed my order for the EUR car.
@gosha@e-coin: do you have something like email, skype, mobile phone, where i can directly communicate with you. You seems like a very nice guy and i want to use your services in the future, so it'll be good if we can stay in touch. Also i want to verify my account, and I'm wondering if my governmental issued ID (Identity card) is enough for verification. I can send you ID or Drivers license or Passport, which one is better?
Also about the proof of address, my address is written on the back side of my ID. I also got a bank statement. Most of my utility bills are on name of my landlord, because in Bulgaria when you rent a flat/an apartment you usually don't change the bills (water/electricity so on) partitions. Our mobile operators don't print your address on their receipts/invoices. So i'll appreciate your guidance on the topic.
Is ID - front and back side enough to verify both my identity and address?
Thanks.

P.S. Have around $79 (after the EUR card order) in my e-coin account. Tried to load my USD card with $70 - "Service unavailable - try again later". Tried with $50 - "Service unavailable - try again later".
Is the issue on your side? or i do something wrong. Maybe its because it's Sunday (aka time for maintenance and improvements for most Internet companies and providers)

the contact e-mail is [email protected], you can address any questions there

If you have the address written on the back of the ID, that works, because it is a government issued document

The service was partially unavailable during the weekend, apologies for that, all up and running now

@gosha@e-coin the promotion about the cards is 4 days left.
Will there be the new design of the card when you ship to the winners
Or you will ship these blank black bitcoin debit cards?

still the generic black one

I just ordered the card with standard shipping how many times it take to delivery ?

depends on where you are - what country, how close to the country's capital, how reliable local post is..

Morocco, dude

Standard delivery to Morocco can take anywhere between 2 and 8 weeks, depending on local post

I tried again a few hours later, and I was able to charge and use my card.
FWIW

its bad that the card dont always work, "Service unavailable - try again later" is a little bit problematic if you just filled your car up with gas for example

You can use the card all the time, you just cannot top it up all the time.
