Spend Your Steem In The Real World With Visa (US Residents Only At This Time)

A few days ago I read a post about converting Steem into a prepaid Visa Card.
I decided to try it for myself so I followed the instructions that @rigaronib explained in his post and went to www.steem.cards I created and account and added my posting key from my wallet and made the purchase. Since this was just a trial run and I'm not a whale yet, I chose the $25.00 Visa Card.

As you can see here, I used Steem and Steem Dollars for the transaction.

You will notice the $7.95 activation fee and the $2.95 shipping fee. This is probably not cost effective for a $25.00 card but remember, this was just a trial for me. The next time I order it will be for a $500.00 card and that will be justifiable in my mind.

The shipping took a few days extra because I used a P.O. Box. If you don't use a P.O. Box I think they said UPS would deliver and it would arrive much quicker. I was not really concerned about the time frame so I was satisfied with the time it took for the card to arrive.

The site address that I ordered the card from is www.steem.cards I had never seen a dot cards address before so I was a little hesitant. The site is well done and they offer a number of different cards besides the prepaid visa.

My card arrived and I am very happy with the entire process. Now all I have to do is generate enough Steem to be able to purchase a few of the $500. 00 cards .
