this thing about card that work with bitcoin, can only be seen as an intermediate stage to trap the naive in the bitcoin ecosistem, the thing is that bitcoin don't need credit/debit cards to work, and it was designed especially to get rid of that crap
i can understand that new comers may approach it more if they can recognize bitcoin, via their preferred payment method
it seems also that they are reviewing their fees strcture, i presume they ar enot that low as usual... so it's not completed yet

This sounds cool for the clueless people about the bitcoin system and the blockchain that want a quick access to BTC, but for me I would like to see merchants accepting BTC directly and paying with a phone, that is the ultimate step, this is a good intermediate.
