Thanks for the tip. I was able to purchase some LTC on Coinbase just now by adding my bank account info. For some reason it was rejecting my debit card. But I will look into your option. There are limited options trying to do this in the USA

If it comes down to it, it's possible to buy LTC at crypto ATMs. However, the fees are a bit steep. Perhaps there may also be https://coinme.com/ near you.
