Ok to quickly recap in case you are reading this and have no idea what I'm talking about or the steps covered to get this far please check my previous post
Convert Your Steem Dollars to Physical Money - Pt 1
Now back to part 2!
Well that arrived quickly :) wo0ho0 i have my card!
Amazing to think that 5 days ago i was writing the tutorial and now i have it here in my hands. This is a very fast turnaround and I'm super pumped to try it out and see some physical cash in my hand.
Ok so now to activate and load the card so we can pop out and start using it. So load the app, log in and navigate to your physical cards tab. I chose GBP so obviously i chose that tab and clicked activate.
So enter your last 4 digits from the front of the card, then select the expiry date and click activate.
Now for the funny part... It actually gave me a server error here... nooo lol but i think this was due to 4G problems as as soon as i closed the app i received an email telling me that the card was successfully activated! Phew :)
So now we need to add some funds to the card. i covered how to do this in the previous guide but as a quick recap click the + button and choose the card icon. For a more detailed guide check Part 1 here.

You then need to choose the card you wish to load funds on to, so i chose my physical one of course.
you can choose to load the amount as BTC or GBP (or other currency) but i think its easier to choose GBP as that is what i am converting to.
Simple precheck before submitting request.
Bingo :)
You will return and see a 0 balance BUT!! don't worry as its BTC it will take a few seconds to confirm the transaction. Click the transaction details to show status.
I cant believe how fast this system is to confirm! It credited my account in no more than 30 seconds! After 1 BTC confirm! wow!
Ok now for the exciting bit! GETTING THE CASH!!! :)
I walk... ok ok i did a slightly happy fast walk over to the nearest cash point.
Quick check to see if the funds are loaded and ready, yup they are ready and waiting for me. (Remember i had loaded the card minutes earlier and it credited me on 1 conf).
BAM! Cash! The final step :)
So now to all the people who say that steemit is a scam and how can you get money for your time... Here is the proof, no 'magical internet money' just cash in your hand :)
So what better way to enjoy the fun side of #steemit but to sit back and enjoy a nice cold beer, thank you people of #steem and i hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
Cheers

Not yet @angusleung100, i will check it out though. I am starting with what i know and moving on from that. Will check it out though thanks.
I've had mixed reactions on Twitter so you should be careful.

They just released this statement about USA and India
"Unfortunately, due to regulations in the #USA, India and some other countries, Wirex cannot currently ship cards to addresses located in these countries.
But don't despair! We are working very hard to find great alliances so we can ship cards to addresses in the U.S. and India soon."

:) me or the card... ok ok the card lol @jphamer1 lol
this is something that will be useful for a very long time! So for all the super techie people out there, how can make it so that each person can have a sort of "steemit file" where they can save the posts they find most useful?
I have already done my own version of this by simply copying the URL onto a word doc with a relevant title, similar to a file name, and then stored in dropbox. But it would be a lot easier to simply click SAVE
just some thoughts :-)
There is no need for this @robinlight-cbt! Thats the whole point of the blockchain! its all saved, all of it!
@b0y2k I do realize that it is saved, but I haven't seen any way to easily relocate a post that is "old". Is there a way I am unaware of?
hahaha nice!
Thanks @sisterholics :)
Steem to money ... good post!
You know that @steem42 :) more than good!
i think is perfect :) ) )
thanks @adlane007 :)
Does it work in U.S. Territories?
If you apply for a virtual card, yes.. but they are working on a physical card. If you want to buy online then yes, its fine.
They just released this statement about USA and India physical cards.
"Unfortunately, due to regulations in the #USA, India and some other countries, Wirex cannot currently ship cards to addresses located in these countries.
But don't despair! We are working very hard to find great alliances so we can ship cards to addresses in the U.S. and India soon."
Thanks for the heads up!

Great post and thanks for the proof. Are there any fees associated with the transactions?
Thanks @cinderphoenix,
Its about £1.75 for an ATM transaction and 3% to convert to non £, $ or €.
No charge for online or debit use.
thank you for this article and for sharing your experience!
I am actually on a world trip for 10 months and i tried to found every places where crypto can be used (shops, ATM etc...)
I saw this card few months ago but as i am homeless for the moment i did not order it so thank you for sharing experience.
Are there any fees? is it high?
Hope that one day we won't be obliged to convert crypto to fiat....
