Buying drugs.

ID verification lifted it, shady enough blocking just like that

Ah, honesty, it's a virtue.

I keep on exchanging currency in a way that I'm getting more money. Not much but I've gone from £12.30 up to £12.42. Can I just keep doing this (obviously with a lot more money) unpunished?

lol really?

If that was £1230 you'd be after getting a free £12 :P

Yup, but I was thinking more along the lines of if it was £12300.00. But I know I'm not that brave with something that is relatively unknown.

Been using this over here as well. So far so good. Couple of teething issues. 1st card didn't come out. 2nd card was en route then the support guys got me the 1st card out. So now have 2 cards with different numbers.

Have mostly been using it for USD transactions and so far so good. Had one issue with what looked like a USD transaction going through in GBP. It was then taken from the GBP account (which went negative) then sat pending on the USD account for 10 days. Just got it back now and reconverted it to GBP to close out the netting.

I'll be using it for an upcoming trip back home over the next month.

How do I find my pin for the card?
When I click show pin in the app nothing happens.

Has anyone had any issues receiving the SMS confirmation when registering? I am not receiving the SMS and my mobile number is correctly input. Thanks.

Having the same issue right now.

soirish · 02-09-2015 10:02pm

Might be a temporary glitch. Try again tomorrow.

Niemoj · 03-09-2015 12:48am

Finally got it working.

Topped up by €10 and got the £5 instantly and I then converted it into € and now have €16-something.

Ordered a card too which should be here by 7/9 but that's such easy money, delighted.

Thanks OP and everyone here for their help.

Transferred some Euro out from my Revolut Card last Saturday Aug 29 - it just hit my PTSB Current a/c today.

Still waiting for my bank transfer from Aib to show up

vandriver · 03-09-2015 12:22pm

Just tried out my card for the first time today in Dunnes .€8.50 purchase on a €10 balance.Card declined.(but the amount has been taken from my balance as pending).Not a good start.

scamalert · 03-09-2015 1:59pm

theres another good card for people that wish to say transfer cash in fashion like paypal or like to gamble on anonymous terms.

Netteler or Net+,setup takes some time if you want to tie up your bank acc for easy transfer,but once done its always few click to get funds in and out,no cost on transfer between net+ accounts or game sites-no annual fees,you get new card every time it expires,only catch is they charge you % on depositing cash and also usual rape on conversion rates if say one does $>eur ,but nothing major.

I'm going to try a test purchase in work tonight(with the 1.50 !).

Delta2113 · 03-09-2015 3:48pm

I'm just curious could it be a case of people in the shops not processing a transaction in the correct manner.

Also can someone just clarify - is it only the person who invites someone that get's a free £5 and not the new member also?

Trying all day to get signed up but not receiving the damn text message

revz · 03-09-2015 6:40pm

over in the USA now, withdrew money at ATM no hassle at all.

Also transferred $ to my friend's account to repay him. All good.

No fees for either of the above ^

Signed up for this card for exactly this reason so glad to hear it's working for you.

Niemoj · 03-09-2015 8:43pm

Waiting for the card and it says Printed 3/9 and the interestingly Posted 7/9.

Does this mean they're after getting it posted out faster than they thought themselves or is it supposed to have the Printed box ticked so you know when it'll arrive?

Delta2113 · 03-09-2015 11:31pm

On the screen off the app mine jumped from issued to show pin - the tick system obviously isn't working as it should at the moment.

hots · 04-09-2015 8:24am

Bit of a d/ck question, but to guys that have been using it for a while, do you feel it's safe? Going over to the states and would be very handy to throw some of the spends into dollars now but have them easily back into euros if needs be. Haven't seen anyone putting sums >€50 on yet and was wondering is it because ye're not sure if their trustable yet? Thanks
