Just curious how many users use one of these..

I've started using Xapo and its pretty good actually.
I can buy whatever I want with BTC.

They have some fees,I tried finding some companies with lower fees but no luck.

They card costs 18$,I guess it was..Actually all companies want like 15$-20$ for a debit card.
Which is a good investment..I guess..

Which one do u use and what are their fees?

I've never tried using bitcoin debit card because for me im contented on my bitcoin wallet where i can easily exchange my bitcoin into real money that fast because in our bitcoin wallet we use are partnered with some banks where the depositors or buyer can easily deposit our money if we sell our bitcoin to them.

I think that there are not many people are using a debit card with bitcoins just because they only like to use cards with real money on it. I think that bitcoin cards wont rule the world just because there are to less real coins to have.

I'm also using Xapo, almost a year now and I'm very satsified. I can use my Bitcoin everywhere, in any store online or "real" one. Never had any bad experience. I think fees are decent and the customer support is good so I would recommend this card.

Just like most of the replies, I also haven't tried to use any bitcoin debit card yet. Well as of now I don't really think that I need it because I used to withdraw my bitcoin through my local wallet and spend it in cash already. Who knows? If bitcoin will also be accepted on local stores, maybe several bitcoin users will try it.

I don't using bitcoin debit card, because all of them take fees for about 3% if we can make withdrawal on ATM. And at my regional there are not bitcoin's ATM. But sometime if my income from bitcoin is going up will use bitcoin debit card.

It's a very good plan, it is better we use wallet to do every thing we want than use the bitcoin debit card where it has similarities with debit cards or credit cards in General. This is going to ruin our lives if it can't do so well and wisely (bitcoin debit card). Don't ever be tempted with ease if it gives no advantage to you

i don't use bitcoin debit card too, while i have wallet in my apps, so i think i am not yet needed bitcoin debit card. i am thinking about the fees that i think is really expensive to spend when i want to send bitcoin, and this is just from what i heard on some website. beside that, only few places that will receive bitcoin debit card and is not makes me comfortable to use it.

Here in Philippines we already have Bitcoin Panda which it is already a first ever bitcoin atm machine where we can easily exchange our bitcoin into real cash but , i didn't try it yet because for me it is not safe , because for me it was for beta test and if i am going to use bitcoin debit card hoping that in year 2017 that some supermarket are going to accept bitcoin as a payment

i see no reason to use it, i have my wallet i can use my bitcoin directly why i need to use a debit card with bitcoin, i can just mine with fiat, bitcoin imho is meant to be used as a currency

bitcoin debit card will help you a lot when you're going to make a withdrawal of your bitcoin through your local atm,because sometimes you can't get in touch with the exchangers,and also you can use it for buying things in a popular site like amazon or ebay that's now they're not accepting bitcoin directly unfortunately

Really? I never see and never heard that there is a bitcoin debit card. I do not know if there or if it is available here in our country. If ever there is a chance I would gladly to have one. I think having something unknown to some people will make me look outstanding to my friends and family. I think I should suggest it to our local coin wallet here in our country. Thanks for sharing that to us.

Hey bro it's easy and you apply for the bitcoin debit card through online in sites like spectrocoin.com, bitzap, bitco and many more sites are there to get that card and then it will reduce the forex charges and exchange charges. You need pay some btc as monthly maintenance charges.

There is bitcoin debit card but its not available here in my country. But there is bitcoin ATM which you can withdraw bitcoin with physical money and also buy bitcoin options. Its very useful but bitcoin is not that popular here in my country and few establishments are accepting this as a payment.

i don't use debit card of bitcoin because bitcoin is not completely approved by government so bitcoin debit card will not be used in out country , but i heard on this bitcoin forum that some countries use bitcoin debt card and few sites allows that , probably you can do some search on that which will help you on the same.

I currently do not use a Bitcoin debit card, however I have been looking into getting one for the past little while and I am often considering getting one more and more as time passes. I'm not sure if they would actually do anything more for me aside from spending $50, and I'm not sure how I would be able to have enough money to actually use my Bitcoin in the real world for most purchases aside from maybe some of the smaller transactions. Having a $12 annual account fee coming from Xapo isn't bad either, but I'll have to see.

I don't use it. I think Bitcoin was created with the purpose that people can ditch that bloated market of 3rd parties services anyway.
So supporting something like satellite card payment is actually harming direct bitcoin adoption IMO.

No I do not have any bitcoin Debit card as there is no any ATM for bitcoin in my country, I hope it will reach sooner to our country as the users of bitcoin are increasing faster in my country and the government is also in its favor.

If I'm not mistaken, these are not true Bitcoin payment cards. These cards are like regular Mastercards or Visas with the only difference being that your account to which they are linked is a Bitcoin account (otherwise known as online wallet)...

The benefit is that you don't have to convert your bitcoins to fiat manually

Oh! will that debit cards from bitcoin wallet work on our normal ATM machines?
If that is right then I will order one as soon as possible as I also have not ordered it because of the idea that it will not work on normal ATMs,

They should, but you'd better ask those who are actually using them. If you feel interested, you can read more about one such card here (in fact, a whole bunch of such cards). Some relevant info below:

When paying by card or withdrawing cash from ATMs, funds are converted in real time at the current exchange rate
