im sick of [censored] waiting for their micro deposits to come (asked for them on jan 23) and caved and got the visa card. im sick of worrying about whether i will get the last couple k i have online out, and 35$ seems like a decent way to guarantee ill see it at some point.

what are the fees associated with using the card?

How long has it taken people to get their money when withdrawing from Pokerstars?

djrion · #73 02-13-2007, 11:44 PM

What are the advantages to having the card over just using your checking acct?

WhoIam · #74 02-14-2007, 01:43 AM

Can anyone confirm the "virtual visa" working on a site like Amazon or Dell? If so, my life just got easier.

i don't see a reason why you wouldn't be able to...

Are people still able to load an account by Credit or Debit Card?

So the limit for withdrawal is $600 to your bank account. How about xfer to poker site? It that limited as well? Or can i transfer a few thousand at a time?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the purchase limit is binding for transfers to poker sites, but I'm not really sure. I want to make a big deposit and at bogdog to get the 10% match up to $1k and I'm thinking I'm going to have to do it via wire transfer from Epassporte (there are no limits on wire transfers from Epass and Bogdog will pay for the fees - or so they advertise).

I'm pretty sure that Bodog banged the 10% bonus on reloading as of Feb 1...

coachkf:

not trying to pick on you, but since this thread is to provide answers and not guesses...

question:

[ QUOTE ]
With ePassporte, can you deposit on sites that support Visa but not ePassporte? After all, it is a virtual visa...

[/ QUOTE ]

you tell them:

[ QUOTE ]
Yes. If it accepts Visa, you can use your virtual visa card (or real visa card if you have one mailed to you for $35).

[/ QUOTE ]

i posted to you:

[ QUOTE ]
i am pretty sure that this is incorrect.

neither will work, at least at gambling sites, if they are not set up for epassporte...

and i am 100% sure that the physical/real visa card that is mailed to you will not work online anywhere. it is swipe transactions only.

[/ QUOTE ]

then you write:

[ QUOTE ]
You're correct about the physical visa. I just got it in the mail today.

[/ QUOTE ]

if that was the case, how were you able to tell the questioner he could use the physical card?

not from experience.

then in your reply to my saying that if a gambling site wasnt set up for epassporte it wouldnt work, you answer with this:

[ QUOTE ]
...here's the info on the virtual visa, straight from their FAQ:

"I'd like to make a purchase at a website that does not show ePassporte as a payment option. May I still purchase from this site? "

"If VISA is listed as one of the accepted payment methods you may use your ePassporte Visa Virtual number to make a purchase."

[/ QUOTE ]

if you have personal experience with having the virtual visa work at gambling sites that are not set up with epassporte, please let us know the particulars, i.e., what site, when, etc.. this information would actually be of help.

while i appreciate your enthusiasm, just guessing and quoting webite information is not really going to help anyone sort out the facts as to what they actually can and cannot do.

p.s. my answers were based on personal experience with epassporte. however, i realize that there are anomalies, which could make such anecdotal.

Just to let anyone know who is having difficulty getting through to epassporte customer service - I just called them and had a rep within 1 minute. It is so much easier to get them at night in the US.

Also for somebody who asked earlier, everything works great through a BOA account. I have verified my checking account and my BOA debit card. It was easy to load $50 with each and now I have a "select" account for higher limits. For some reason epassporte would not accept my BOA VISA credit card tho.
