Good deal!!
You're right $.64 from yourself for a comment like that is a pretty good deal.
For you.
:)
Not really I overpaid for that by losing about 300k
I’m not seeing how that justifies what you’re doing, but whatever. Carry on!
How and to whom?
Excelente proyecto !!!
Hmm
Good
really nice future in steemit thanks steemit
Devil's advocate here.
I am aware of the history there, so Paycent took preorders for Mastercard before it was integrated. Mastercard for some reason delayed and they are in negotiations with Mastercard to be able to issue them, last I heard was an ETA of a few weeks from now. At the moment you can only order Union Pay International cards which work in most countries, you can also order Union Pay China cards.
I understand they will refund or replace your Mastercard with a Union Pay card if you do not wish to wait for the Mastercards to be able to be activated.
Im really happy to be a part of steem in time for communities and the first steem debit card for fiat payments Ive seen in 2019 . I am excited to see someone spend some steem after withdrawing some steemp from steem engine. it will be interesting to see people trading steem engine tokens and withdrawing to steem spending it as fiat with this debit card!
The project is about IT(information technology) where by i need to start and already i have started with little i have in my community.
So i have a vision that if me i introduce this in my community it can help me my community members and youths in my community who is idle, going in bad things, and even to help those who don't have school requirements to get something to purse in this world.
So we start small project and later will grow sorry by sorry into a big institution in our country and in our community at all.
and i need to help needy people in my community which they don't have food, clothes, school requirements, so with this project am planning to start the small am going to get from i can support other like those basic needs in their lives.
Love it steemit is being use for a positive vibe. keep up the good work.
Very interesting. I think I’ll observe from a distance for now.
Interesting, seems the guy did get his refund in time and I doubt that post had anything to do with it. However, that must of sucked big time waiting for 10ETH refund— I have an account with them already but will proceed with caution.
Thanks and Cheers !BEER

Which card do you have, the Union Pay?
Still waiting on the MasterCard but patience is a virtue I guess... not many cards ship to Jamaica so I’m willing to wait a bit longer. I was able to use SpectroCoin’s virtual card a year ago before they also started the BS. Seems there are issues with most crypto debit cards ever since the Visa/MasterCard debacle early 2018 (I think)
Contacted PayCent only to hear a similar story— they are delayed. I’m gonna try again after this, hopefully if they have their act together this can be huge for Steem merchants

They don't have an ETA on mastercard, it has some compliance hurdles, Paycent is offering Union Pay International cards as replacement, email them and ask for that rather, you might be waiting long for mastercard otherwise.
They will never get MC approved.
Union Pay at least is better than nothing

Can paycent cards be used in the US?
I confirmed the following with their team:
Thanks for taking the time to look into this for all of us.
Just to further clarify, CUP = China Union Pay?
I searched and just found this, which seems to indicate the fee structure:
https://paycent.com/whitepaper/PaycentCard_Fee_CUP_20190708.pdf?v=1.4
[from there: Physical Card Order (including DHL/FedEx Delivery)$ 49.00 ]
But it doesn't define what CUP is. All I see is
"This Paycent card [ruby] is powered by CUP that comes with a daily spending limit of US $5,000 and with a withdrawal limit of US $5,000."
This site seems to indicate that CUP is China Union Pay:
https://paylosophy.com/glossary/china-unionpay/
My first reaction is that I'd rather not use a Chinese bank but everyone can do their own research and make their own decisions.
Yeah CUP is China Union Pay, UPI is Union Pay International both work the same. My advice is use the card simply as a payment vehicle of convenience, just load what you intend to use in the short term. That goes without saying for any crypto debit card.
Thanks very much for your helpful reply!
Excellent. Thank you for the confirmation on this. I will look in to getting a card in this case.
Yes dear off course US is hub of the world then why not paycent work there.
Doesn't mean that it does
I will ask their team and confirm.
I love seeing this kind of increase use cases for the SteemIt app / blockchain technology and all that good stuff. Good to see the progress coming in a very real life form!
This is huge for @reggaesteem members— Paycent is one of the few crypto debit card services that deliver to Jamaica 🇯🇲
We #JAHM’in!
Cheers !BEER

They deliver most places yes!
That really interesting to hear that this debit card even delivered to Jamaica an island nation? A very good sign,
If these work in West Africa and Indonesia they could be super useful for growing large marketing armies for steem, creating a global middle class using steem.
I wonder if these cards work in Nigeria and Ghana would you happen to know @thecryptodrive ? Also thanks for this great accomplishment, i wish you could get me featured on the next steem marketing so you can announce STEEMP EOS token by steem engine being listed on newdex, the first STEEM token on EO! STEEM PEG on EOS to be listed against eos, allowing eos users to buy steem, (pegged steemp, which we can have real smart contracts and dapps with so we can meet eos on its terms AND have SMts i need this to be announced before it gets listed next week so steemp can have a big opening debut on newdex and the newdex community can see how POWERFUL steem community really is....
That's incredible with paycent card now anyone can reedem his cash through credit card. Whats a surprise from steemit which collaboration with the paycent company who are already working 60000 crypto currencies what a number. Steemit and paycent give the real ease to the users thanks.
Interesting they use Union Pay. Its quite big in Thailand now with some of the banks using them as their preferred middleman. Will have to check this out :-)
Happy 2020 guys! Hoping STEEM will take off!
Any PR is good PR - as long as it helps to spread the word about the best blockchain with the most loyal community and we attract business to invest here. The potential is here - we might simply need to add some more marketing campaigns - my words since I joined over three years ago.
Nice article and Paycent credit card for I can finally withdraw my steem dollars through this credit card as well. What makes it great is it's global and maybe it will work here in Asia as well. Maybe we should start registering to Paycent.com and get a debit card there... Anyway, I already have a Visa card, can I use it with my steem dollars friend? Actually, it's a great motivation to receive our reward or pay from our work at the same time.
Only Steem is supported, not steem dollars at this stage. It basically converts Steem to USD loaded on the card without going via BTC as middleman, you should be able to get union pay international or union pay china in asia.
Will they be offering a cashback incentive? I get 2.5% cashback on all purchases now thru USAA

Generally cash back is available on credit cards and this is a debit card, also more regulation around cash backs so no plan to have cash backs as far as I have been told. There is the PYN token which makes fees cheaper though.
I don’t see this being anything special for our community. If anyone has information otherwise please let me know
That’s great news
Cool! but I will wait for the STEEM Card. :)
Thanks for sharing @steem-marketing
I will be applying for a paycent card asap!
me to i know it would help me out
Sorry but this looks scammy AF
I have never seen a card provider with so many fees. If you transfer money to someone, I expect they are offering you all kind of services for free, even pay you some cash-back to keep you money with them....
You've never seen Payoneer then !! lol....ridiculous fees
I found the conversion rate quite low, most BTC cards have like 5% loss on the spread. The spread on paycent seems quite tight, perhaps 1%.
If you don't hold it, you don't own it. This truth goes for cryptos AND precious metals.
You can buy metals using bitcoin easily through JM Bullion or many other large known metal sellers. This extra step isn’t needed
Great stuff team, now to get yourself on Celulias, Nexo and Crypto.com :)
This is awesome !!
OMG sounds good to me but i gotta make gold or silver first jajajaja :)
Really very interesting and helped.
Looks good, steem is coming in general market, I guess they will charge more, what you guys say?
good :)
