Thanks man, I have used Coinbase in the past myself and not had great experiences. I'm probably going to try and use a Bitcoin ATM because that seems like the best option--just load it up with cash and go. Thank you :)
Have you tried Changelly? The fees are somewhat high, but its an immediate option and you can use any mastercard or visa credit or debit card. The max amount per day is 20,000USD (fee included) in 2 separate transactions (10,000 USD fee included). I don't know about the KYC process, but believe that it only applies for bigger transactions.
*Separate comment - I believe that you should always post from where you are writing - I believe it's USA, just to let know your audience your regional experience, because what you post might not apply for other regions. - EX. We can't buy through coinbase but can receive and send transactions through the app - I'm in Mexico.
big thx for your prompt reply @the4thmusketeer
