This tutorial shows you how to use your Steem Dollar Visa debit card
USA only. There is no monthly fee, and no transaction fees for using the card to pay in the US. When traveling outside USA you will pay a fee of 3% for currency conversion. There is a $2.00 fee for ATM withdrawals inside the US and a $3.00 fee for any ATM withdrawals outside of the US.

Very helpful stuff
Thanks
DAMN Craig.... that seems to me the quickest way to get your Steem Dollars. That's the first video like this I have seen. Thanks
That is really cool!
Finally it's not so much fee anymore. Thanks
Sweet. This video will help a lot of people. Great Solution, for now.
I see a future including a card with a steemit logo and direct connection with steemit, or at least it will appear that way. All Ii will need to do is pay 10 sbd, fill out my address and wait for my steem card to arrive. :D
Thank you. I am getting one.
Mainstream steeming!!!
Very useful Craig. My debit card has been ordered.
Great find @craig-grant ... I think they just came out with the debit card not too long ago so very timely!
wow that was super helpful! Im new to Steemit so everything is still a bit confusing
It's great post Craig. Unfortunately the "Bitpay Visa Debit Card" is only available in US, not in Canada yet, I am jealous !
If someone knows an equivalent card available in Canada, please let me know, I could not find.
ok, I updated the blog post to say USA only, cause I did say Canada in the video
Thanks craig for helping others learn about the steem platform. Love you videos ... STEEM REPORT! STEEM REPORT! Hahaha You have me as a loyal follower
Craig
There is 0ne thing you forgot to mention which I will make a vid on soon after I get my Steem-Power up, so that I can get rewarded for the post ;) I will display the link to this vid for ppl to wtch your tutorial as there is no need to make another one but, will just let ppl know what was missed is all! I too just purchased a Bitpay Visa Debt thanks to you bringing it to my attention. Thx and excellent tut
I am wondering how fast is it to deposit fiat into this bitpay card? Such the vice versa of what you just explained craig, is this the fastest way to convert fiat to bitcoin? Steem dollar?
Bitpay FAQ @ https://bitpay.com/visa/faq
Good tutorial. I just hope this method will not cause the price to crash
steem dollars is about 2% of all steem, and not many bloggers cash out
Dose this Bitpay Visa Debit card charge a monthly fee?
no
Then DAMN why do I have a bank account when steem dollars give better interest and a second party debit card? Well ... steemit is still in beta testing, so I will wait before I move all my saving over.
That is a really great point. 10% right now... If this does not change over time and it is this QUICK to get the cash to the card. Why not load the STEEM DOLLARS up and let it sit there... I buy a CD every year. It is tied up for a year and then I have to searching for the best Bank for another measly 1.6%....
Exactly! & just think when the masses figure that out, along with the advantages of steem power!?? The move Is going to be so Epic! Not even Btc offers a guaranteed interest rate like SD. Or, definitely not like SP...(& I'm a Btc hodler) It's just a matter of time man:)
Solid Share!
good stuff bro..
Thank you so much! I have been struggling to figure out how to do this with as little hassle as possible. I'm still leaving nearly all of my earnings in Steem power. But I'd like to buy my wife a dinner or 2.
Coinbase has a good card also.
