a small review of 3 more crypto cards.
someone recommended me to get a card issued by
https://reap.global and I've searched for crypto card providers whose cards are issued by Reap.
found three so far:
https://cypherhq.io/card/
unfortunately it appeared that the owner is Indian American, the target audience is India, and the software was written by Indian coders: it does not work, at least on my devices.
it might work on yours so I'm leaving the link here for you to try.
https://www.redotpay.com/payment/
seems to be a widely known service and it has overall good reviews, however I've found a review which said that this︀ service has stupid repetitive KYC, they want your selfie with ID every now and then,︁ so I did not try to register because I'm tired of all that s**t.
still it is worth trying if you need to offramp large amounts because their limits are︂ very high compared to other crypto cards.

service nobody knows about, the owner shows︃ off with rolex and other luxury stuff on their official Twitter account, smells fishy to︄ me. however they advertise as "an official Solana card" so this project might last for︅ several more months
😀
I've tried to register an account and it was surprisingly easy, took︆ less than 10 minutes.
KYC: they want your email, phone number, photo of ID, and︇ an easy liveness check (just look into the camera), no selfie with ID and no︈ proof of address needed, unlike as with Coincardi. and also unlike Coincardi where a "free"︉ card costed me 50 EUR (or 1000 including stolen funds) the Kast card is really︊ free. yearly fee = 20 USD (Coincardi = 60)
privacy concerns: their app is quite︋ invasive, it requires Google Play Services installed, "Contacts", "Phone" and "SMS" permissions (but seems to︌ work without them), so I recommend you to install it on a separate clean smartphone︍ without any private data.
usage: very easy and smooth. this card (or all cards issued︎ by Reap?) accepts any billing address. I've added it to Ebay and made a few️ inexpensive purchases, so far everything is good. also I've ordered a physical card ($100), will report back once it arrives.
if you want to make me a gift with "KAST" shitcoins and to get a 20% discount for a paid card you could use my referral link to register:
