After not so splendid experience with Mistertango I've decided to register with Wirex and ordered also a card.
What worries me are some comments here on forum that Bitcoin deposits sometimes last 3-5 days which is not convenient to me because when I fund the account that means that I want to transfer my BTC in Euro on the card and use it immediately. Like it suppose to be.
Also I've heard that customer support isn't always the best and many other issues.
So, can you share your latest experiences?
Also, does anyone know if there soon be some real Bitcoin debit card, like Xapo was, so that you don't have to exchange your coins first before you use them on the card but that you can spend them directly from the wallet?
Transferring Bitcoin onto the associated Bitcoin address goes just as any Bitcoin transfer, depending on the fees you use. I had nothing to complain on this.
Converting Bitcoin into fiat for the card works in a matter of seconds.
So the card is pretty good.
I agree that their support has plenty of room for improvement (to say it nice).
I had support tickets solved in a manner I almost left Wirex (support members that don't understand how their own system works, don't understand the issue, come with clumsy solutions that make you waste time and maybe money too). I also had tickets solved very nicely and in a professional manner. It's a matter of luck, really... I've got both types in the past
two three months.
In the past there was a Michael, which could be reached even here on Bitcointalk sometimes. If an issue was not handled well, he came in and found the best solution. But I didn't see this apparition for long time now, I think that his presence would improve the overall perception about Wirex.
About other types of cards, I don't know, sorry.
