Anyone is going to need more information than that to help you. Are you a fucking idiot?
Nothing in particular, just felt like venting
Has it ever helped?
What exactly is your problem?
I guess the payment agent he's using for travels is frustrating him.
Why use travel agent when you can do it smartly and manage bookings, payments, and confirmations in one place.
When I travel, I always utilize the app, which is licensed and regulated by the GFSC.
Seamless travels backed by a licensed and regulated app means you're cruising with the highest standards of security and reliability.
I heard their anti-scam protection feature safeguards users against remote access scams with enhanced security measures.
Its a good step forward as I'm sick of hearing about scams and people getting hacked of their hard earned money. Being able to enjoy top tier security and manage your funds with seamless payments is ideal for all users.
Without doubt, that's what most users want. This cannot be overemphasized. Before putting any fintech company into use, this is what I consider security.
It would be devastating to lose all your money on a meltdown. Security is king.
He's a retard without cash
Being broke sucks.
if you are american there are a few credit card companies/banks that will mail new cards to foreign countries. since you're stuck in a single place, you might as well consider diversifying your card options.
Shut the fuck up anon, that might be an option for some, it's important to consider the challenges that could arise from managing multiple card options.
You speak like a fucking bot
ain't surprised, we have human speaking like bot, and bot speaking like human. lollll
Are you a bot or just older than 50? Can't really tell why you speak like a fucking retard
At least I don't need coffee to function.
Chatgpt?
I think that will be the best idea.
Did a card get blocked? This has happened to me at least twice over the years—it’s typically easily resolved with a phone call to the 800# on the back; many banks even have a free international number or way to place a call collect.
Anyway, I had to call one bank to tell them I really was in Kenya, and a few years before, I had to call another before I’d even left the US, to let them know that I really was trying to buy a plane ticket to Moldova on a Latvian airline. In retrospect, I can see how these transactions might have looked suHispanicious.
I actually appreciated the attentive fraud protection, although talking to some random call center in the Philippines or wherever from a hotel bar in Nairobi was a pain in the ass.
I’ve never gotten any use out of PayPal while traveling, personally (can it be used at point of sale? I’ve only ever used it online), but I’m sorry it’s not helping you with whatever financial problem you are experiencing.
>PayPal while traveling, personally (can it be used at point of sale? I’ve only ever used it online),
Valid question. I've never seen a PayPal card either and it can be a real hassle most times with delayed transactions.
Paypal coming into crypto might be the beginning bullrun.
That depends though. I know it would aid mass adoption to an extent but PayPal has a lot of loopholes.
Yeah sure, I had to switch to other platforms like Bitpay and Tap for more transparent payments without all the hassle.
How has this change impacted your overall transaction process and business interactions? Revolut is all I've faith on. .
Pretty well tbh, with Tap2Tap transactions I pay zero fees and it delivers seamless on-ramping from fiat to crypto when I need to purchase assets.
Is not about zero fee anon, It's important to carefully weigh the trade-offs between fee savings and the overall safety of your transactions.
>the overall safety of your transactions
This is the first thing most consider before utilizing, but that doesn't mean the need for a lower fee should be negated. Every Web3 user will definitely prefer fintech that supports instant fiat crypto conversion.
You have a point chad. But its still a plus when you consider the hidden fees and delay in transactions of most platforms. Having one which makes the process hassle-free and saves cost is an advantage.
What is the benefit of having more than one fee apply to a single transaction on PayPal, particularly when transacting internationally? While XTP-supported app offer fee-free foreign exchange.
how reliable is revolut? annoyingly IBKR doesn't support their debit card in my country so i'm in need of something that i could load with foreign currency to not get israeliteed on
Fuck anon, Revolut is authorised in the UK, the USA, (EEA), and in all other countries. All card transactions are processed by the Mastercard. Even if scam you're safe.
all i've ever heard about it is how people get their accounts closed over either really fragile reasons or automated nonsense, to get licensed in the UK alone means they're safe to use, but yeah being quick on the trigger is a bit of a spook; being down some extra cash or having to deal with support while you're travelling isn't comfy
A concern I have with Revolut pertains to the fees they impose for card orders and also topping up deposits, which often experience delays in arrival.
This is your viewpoint, nevertheless I am using the first crypto card service using Mastercard for travel purposes.
It seems you're referring to Mastercard's Crypto Credential Service for Cross-Border Transfers, I guess?
This worked with wallet providers Bit2Me, Lirium, Mercado Bitcoin, and Uphold. The firms are working on an initial project to enable transfers between the U.S. and Latin America and the Caribbean corridors.

Literally what it is. Some retard Indian advertisers contrived an ai generated conversation and are posting it to SighSee
What's going on with Revolut really? why do you think its a better choice to other options.
Anon is probably speaking from his experience, and I bet Anon is yet to explore to see better choices out there with better card service and a great exchange rate.
Those were my thoughts exactly, the card I currently use doesn't give any issues and the highlight is the seamless on-ramping of fiat from my IBAN account.
I might try the Bitfinex card since the latter you stated above teamed with them to provide the Bitfinex Debit card.
Absolutely bizarre bot advertiser thread
There are other options available. I'm not quite sure about the exciting features that attract most users, even though it's considered one of the safest online payment solutions. Could it be the friends and family features with a fee of around 5% thereabout and an extra 3% for currency exchange?
Probably you've not used it. PayPal encrypts your bank and credit card information, keeping that information safe
I cannot afford PayPal's hefty international fees. I'd rather go with the app that was the first to be publicly listed on the UK stock exchange.
I'm all in if it proves its worth in Asia, otherwise, I might have to step away
It is offered in 45 countries across the world. It's only a matter of time until it spreads to every nook and cranny of the world.
I heard they've covered multiple jurisdictions, including Australia, UK, EU, EEA, and more to come.
When would they be live in the US? I'm waiting to experience the benefits first hand.
Do you think the US market is that easy to get into? The Asian market could be a better alternative to consider.
Well you don't expect me to move to Asia do you? Just saying it would be great to have the service available in the US eventually.
Have you tried out Tap? the card is supported and available for transactions in over 45 countries.
Elon does it better
Paypal is one of the least safe ways you can pay. If there is literally any issue, you cannot get someone to help you. It will not happen. The "customer service" at Paypal exists only to listen to you and then tell you to fuck off.
Well I'm not surprised. PayPal has been known to freeze user funds randomly, not to mention all the hidden fees. Its better to explore other options.
I don't use PayPal. No centralized entity needs to have insight into my financial activities or expenditures. The motive seems to be establishing a surveillance state with communist undertones. This constitutes a significant violation of both personal privacy and civil liberties. Fuck the entire system.
Maui is on fire right now which is cool
Why would you not just have a normal credit card with no foreign transaction fees?
Let this be a lesson to always bring cash when traveling. A few Benjamins take up very little space.
Yeah sure but for security reasons most people don't like carrying cash. Especially when you have a Fintech card that is widely accepted and takes just a few seconds for payments.
Perhaps he can stick to an app that provides multiple accounts that support both Crypto and Fiat. Especially one that is publicly listed on the UK Stock Exchange.
What the fuck is going on in this thread? Is it an AI talking to itself?
I was just thinking the same thing. It's like a chatbot designed by indians in here.
But what kind of dunce only has one method of payment and only PayPal at that?
He made a mistake by relying solely on PayPal, imo. He can use Mastercard, Bitfinex Debit Card, VISA Card, Tap Card, and a wide range of other cards.
Right? This is a weird fucking thread, it sounds like this is just a bunch of streetshitters or sandnagger shilling cards or whatever.
Jesus Christ if you're gonna pretend to be an actual user don't use corpobabble naggerspeak like "seamless on-ramping", fucking nobody says that. It's obvious you've never been to SighSee before
