Topic: First Xapo Debit Cards to be mailed this month! (Read 1358 times)
The day xapo start giving users 100% access to their funds will be the day I will start using xapo service again, xapo was the first crypto wallet I used in the past and I lost my password till date I have no access to my wallet anymore
I just received this email:
Unlike other bitcoin credit cards, Xapo will store your value in bitcoins and only exchange it at the moment you use your card. It still involves credit card fees, but for now this is a great improvement.

How are they managing this?
According to their website, in an article dated 2017, Xapo says VISA restricted their debit cards. And that page has not been updated since 2017. See for yourself:

I am still waiting for my Xapo card ... lol
Big LOL, as I only noticed the date on the OP after reading the first few posts. What the hell happened here? I thought I read DaveF talking about using his Xapo card in the US a couple of weeks ago, and he mentioned that the US is the only country it works in. Is that the issue here?I suspect we will see more delays coming down the pipeline. Here's to hoping that I'm wrong! 
Glad you didn't bet money on that, dude. I usually report necrobumps, but this one was very informative. 
I didn't get that email from Xapo, hope I will and that they will provide debit cards for my country too.
I had Xapo card before until the moment they got into problem with Visa and withdrew all cards. However, that card wasn't perfect, from time to time I had problems in.stores so I hope they fixed that issues.
Also, I don't think they are the only Bitcoin debit card provider that don't exchang your Bitcoin immediately but in the moment when you make the purchase. Sometimes that is not very convenient because you never know how much money you exactly have at your disposal.

I was thinking of doing this but if I just exchange my crypto to fiat in the exchange then to my bank I can use the debit/credit card. To it is as if it were "prepaid" with XAPO you do not need to do that part it is done each time you pay. My problem is if you pay a Reddit card fee every time you use the XAPO wallet then what's the point? I hope some users hear can comment on their experiences.

interesting. i will watch it and maybe get one 
Has anyone received their card yet?
They haven't even asked for a shipping address. At least they haven't asked me.
Keep us updated.
please post some authentic user experiences to this thread when you get the cards.

This looks interesting, I hope it's properly tested.
Nice, another boost for main street to get the ball rolling on wider usage and adoption. Good way to get the plastic using folks acclimated to evolving technology.
This will be a great tool to help with fungibility. Ideally this would be something that is needed for a very short time as more merchants accept bit coin directly.
Is there any news from Mastercard re: Xapo??
I pre-ordered a card myself, but the last I heard was Mastercard denied having anything to do with Xapo. It's such a great idea, hope it's legit...

...and not some honey-trap arranged by western government to reap bitcoin owners' real life addresses...

edit: got an email too
