VUPAY Debit Card

[nic]

Hi!

I'm looking for a good value for money, good service debit card.

The best I have been able to find is VUPAY's Debit Card

http://www.vupay.com/

The card is free, they charge $5 postage (your account needs at least $50 in it to get the card).

Has anyone got any experience with it? i.e. is it fast to fund? good service?


FYI - Here are the card fees as listed in their FAQ:

Domestic (USA) Cardholder is Charged:
ATM Withdrawal $1.50
ATM Decline $1.50
ATM Balance Inquiry $1.00
POS Purchase $1.00
POS Purchase Decline $1.00

International:
ATM Withdrawal $3.00
ATM Decline $3.00
ATM Balance Inquiry $1.25
POS Purchase $1.25
POS Purchase Decline $1.25

Other Transactions
Monthly Fee $2.00
Card-2-Card Transaction $2.00
Inactivity Fee after 90 days $3.00
Load a Card (per Load) $2.00
Card-2-Bank Transfer $2.00
Replace Lost Card $3.00
Replace Expired Card $1.50
Re-Issue PIN $1.50

These are the funding methods VUPay Offers:
1% bonus - Wire Transfer
1% bonus - e-gold
5% fee - credit card
5% fee + $0.5 - netpay
2% fee + $0.5 - e-bullion
2% fee + $0.5 - evocash

I don't think this one is offshore...If anyone cares.

Greetings.

Thanks for bringing this to our notice. Looks like they are using the usual Maestro/Cirrus 1st National Bank of Texas as their "3rd party"

They are also pretty new - their e-Gold number is well over the magic million mark.

But, you can't complain about their fees!

Dreadful English on their web-site could be due to getting their boys in Singapore to write it (would have been a lot better if their guys in London had done it) ... but at the end of the day, it's the reliability and service that counts.

And so ... and feedback from people who have ACTUALLY got the card and ACTUALLY used it ?

Thanks.

Avoid Vupay, they misspell every other word and their grammar is horrendous. The referral system is strange (a real debit card doesn't need a 10-level-deep referral program), and they openly allow MLMs to participate.

By the way, you thought you'd be clever and sneak a referral link in there, didn't you? :wink:

Vupay shows all the signs of being a badly run scam that's desparate for new money. Looks like OSGold all over again.

That aside, the debit card fees look atrocious. Charging you for balance inquiries?! What a joke.

Do yourself a favour and get the LoyalBank card. You can get it through BetOnMarkets or Fidex Group. I have 4 debit cards, and the LoyalBank one is the only one I use

Ok. It looks like this is one of the higher risk debit cards.

I'm probably going to end up getting a Loyal Bank card but if anyone does happen to get the vuPay card please post your comments.

Thanks.
