But again, that makes my point for me. If you think that figure is laughable, the economies of scale must be even worse than my optimistic prediction.

Did I really write that?

Nieve or what?

Cash Card holders will continue to be prioritized in the Withdrawals queue., its a line from MA, but does anyone really know what that means? is it like 50 days or like 2 weeks? what does MA ppl say about this..?

I take it as meaning that every Uber holding the old cash card gets to remove their cash ahead of the mad, LAG TAX inspired, rush to leave EU.

So what about cashcard? Since "community managers" are too afraid to communicate on current VU issues, maybe they'll dare to comment about what's happening with long promised atm cards? It will soon be a year since they stopped working..

While we're at it... I wonder who writes MA's press realeases, they state that we have a working atm card and no trouble to get peds out of EU..

Do you not realise ?
They just did not sign a contract with any credit card provider! (and keep tell us tales!)
You know what happen when MA finds another parthner? Right, fat PR follows, that "XYZ strike a great deal with MindArk!".
If they didnt yet announced who will supply the cash cards yet, im 99% sure that they didnt find the supplier.
And i would understand bank institutions not willing to work with MA, at least because 100-200 cash cards clients (and correspondent fees) do not justify their efforts making the system work.

you're raising a valid point,
I am really eager to get the cash card atm, I really would like some news on this

[Staffas]

since these cash cards take such a long time to implement, is it possible to sell back the card I have already bought?
I am spending alot of PEDs and if I cant use the card I would rather use the 250ped until the cards are accually implemented.

Great minds

I was just scrolling through this thread thinking the same thing.

I reckon MA should universally pull the cards already bought back and make an official announcement regarding them. Then people can choose from an 'informed' position as to whether to send 250PED into limbo again.

What I don't think is particularly clever is for MA to get us to incurr them further cost by answering individual supports on the matter; which is the very position they have left us in.

We need an official response on this long-standing issue.
