I also have the Wagecan debit card and it works. Some may consider the loading fees a bit high, but to me it's easier than trading on LBC. Their transaction history on their website only updates once per week as well so you have to keep a mental note of your balance (though you can check it for free at any Mastercard ATM).
A few months ago I looked into the Bit-x card, but when I checked you cannot get raise your account to the basic verification level in the US which limits your total transactions per year to 250 euro.
Topic: US Bitcoin Debit Card Options (Read 745 times)
What are the options out there? I just got a WageCan debit card, but it's a bit disappointing. The exchange rate essentially cuts 4% into your balance. Plus, it stores the balance as USD, so it's not really clear to me how this is different than just withdrawing to your checking account and using a regular debit card when needed.
I've heard about ANX. Any thoughts on them?
Also, has Xapo made any indications as to their progress on releasing a debit card for US customers? What specifically is it with US laws/regulations that are making it harder for them to release in the US as opposed to anywhere else?

I have a Bit-X card. I have tested it and it works very well. I haven't managed to check my balance on the ATMs.
Drawbacks are certainly fees. They are quite high but this is brand new service and I am sure as competition heats up, fees will go down. Bit-X had a very annoying fee, a maintenance fee that charged you all the time just for having a card even if you didn't use it. Thanks God, they have droped that.

For US residents your working choices at this time are limited to WageCan, ANX and Bit-X. If you do not want to order a bitcoin debit card Coinomat makes it possible to fund a card you already own using bitcoin. Full list at your bitcoin debit card options for all countries.
I wouldn't use it if I were you.
It's nice and all, but the fees are so high.

if its a Crypto card it should be storing your balance in a crypto address and spending in dollars, sounds like a really good idea
as while ur not spending ur balance it will inflate like crazy !!!

I've seen X-bit has a debit card thanks to their signature campaign which is everywhere these days.

Looks good and CEO seems like a competent guy, I saw an interview with him the other day. You need to verify your info with a bank to get any sort of withdraw/deposit volume tho.
