Circle kicks ass!

Update, it ended up working just fine again for me two weeks ago. Just took an e-mail to circle and the understand that I have to buy more than ten dollars at a time.

Does it hit your CC as a purchase or a cash advance?

Nice site, sounds like a great service. Wish I knew about this last week :). I bet I could use my Visa debt card to pull directly from my checking account same day.

Sadly cash advance :(
If you link your bank account is this cheaper than coinbase or the same cost?

it is a great service. NO fees from Circle or my bank AND up to $500 worth of instant BTC VS. 1% fee at Coinbase plus a flat 15 cent bank fee and a 2-5 day wait period

Update: Citibank, who issued my Mastercard, considered the BTC I purchased from Circle to be a Cash Advance and slapped me with a $10 fee, beware!

No fees + it's instant! Wow that is pretty great.

Circle cleared me to continue buying on their yesterday.

Now, the prepaid mastercard I use is denying it on their end, and telling me that Circle has a minimum amount (which I verified with them was not the case).

So idk... problem might just be with Citibank now. I'll find out Friday.

Circle has been working very well for me, no problems so far. Glad to have another legitimate place to purchase bitcoin online with my bank account and -finally- a place where I can buy coins with a MasterCard

I take it back. It kicked ass during beta.

Started having problems as soon it went live.

The fuck...
Thanks for the update, what kind of problems? details man, give us details

I'm guessing they're overwhelmed.

My transactions all started getting marked by their anti-fraud program, and cancelled. I emailed them about it and they said to send my ID and a bill, then try the transaction again. This was a couple days ago. I did as they asked, then tried a couple more transactions. They're still getting canceled. So I e-mailed them again yesterday but haven't heard back.

I am also waiting for an invite. This sounds like exactly what I have been looking for.

I was lucky. I signed up for an invite the same week they got funded and announced they were going to exist. it was like ten or so months ago.

hope it happens quick for you.

Is there possible collaboration BTSX + Circle? Given the value of storing BitUSD, or are they providing their own solution to the same problem?

it's centralized. they basically offer usd IOUs that you can redeem.
