If we get Culvers we'll run a promotion for sure. We more so meant any existing brands you want us to run boosted reward rates on though!
Happy New Year, ya'll!
Lots of love to everyone who supported us, as well as anyone building on bitcoin and broadcasting the orange signal 🧡
2024, LFG!
PS: Comment what brands you want us to run promotions on in January and we'll see what we can do!

We love the adversarial thinking!
Although you can mirror this same setup with the TBC web app. No KYC needed and you can maintain pseudonymity using LNAuth or Auth47 (PayNym).
Rather than repeat explanations here though, there's a couple of relevant posts shared below:
It seems nostr:npub18tcc00lqpysdsurg567dllzg7jeyr5wcyk2v6w23rx3s3ygyze2qv32nxx has some stuff to explain
Uninstalling until they provide further information

We've posted explanations about this previously, but we've shared another below.
There's numerous ways to interact with our app while maintaining privacy and pseudonymity, without having to trust us. Not using credit card payment methods is an important one. Additionally, making use of our web app with login methods like LN-Auth or Auth47 (PayNym). You can of course use a burner email if you opt for traditional auth methods. You could also hook up directly to our API.
One or a combination of those options would work well. And hopefully the policy explanation shared below clarifies any points of concern re what we actually collect and for what reasons.

No worries! Contact our support if you need help. We're not experiencing any app wide issues though.

The next 15 will be about fear.
Then, that'll be that."

We're not aware of Google's fraud prevention policies in detail, but broadly speaking that would be the reason. It's unlikely just due to using a prepaid card - usually fraud tooling takes multiple data points to determine your risk level. You'll need to contact Google to know for sure.

Loading cash balances to services like PayPal, Venmo, Revolut, etc is also not something that can usually be done with the cards, so we don't recommend it.
That's better directed to Lolli. It's likely they do not accept prepaid Visa cards for their service, as there is no bank account linked to it.
We have Card Linked Offer too - ours function much the same (ie, prepaid cards won't work; it must be a card linked to your bank account).
Also for those who don’t know, ESPECIALLY when trying out new subscription services, you can get sats back on prepaid debit card from nostr:npub18tcc00lqpysdsurg567dllzg7jeyr5wcyk2v6w23rx3s3ygyze2qv32nxx
Just buy like 2 months of a service balance in a card, and use it to pay. You know exactly how much you’re in for and it doesn’t matter if you just forget about it.
This in combination with throwaway, custom emails for every single service is a big security and privacy boost while also preventing major headaches down the road. nostr:note18te0h5daqjgqpjac2ejymlfc9hl3hx5f8vw0u2jqfdzs7a6a3dqsnua80q
We know a lot of people do this successfully, but we have to mention our cards are not intended for subscription payments.
Many merchants will decline them for that purpose and our card provider may decline it for the same reasons.
Having said that, there's no harm in testing if you're aware of that. Plus they do tend to work for this even if they're not meant to!
