Both of these are solana cards and I can only test one

Ok so, actually i am in Brazil and most of the cards here nobody accept, i test three already this year and two of them not even let me finish the signup because of country. So now i have two left on my list and both of them are solana based, SolCard and PayPaw.

The issue fee is what stop me. SolCard is 10 dollar just to make the card and 5% when i load. PayPaw is 2 dollar and 3%. On paper PayPaw win but i read people saying the bot is slow and sometimes the card never come.

I have doubt because i can only burn one issue fee this month. Anybody here used the two of them and can say which one actually work? Not which one look better on the site, which one work.

you answered your own question. 10 dollars and 5% vs 2 dollars and 3%. test the cheap one first

Neither of them is a solana card in the way you mean. paypaw settles on solana, solcard takes sol and usdc for the top up. That is the only overlap.

The real difference is what you can fund with. solcard is sol and usdc, full stop. If your money is sitting anywhere else you are paying a swap before you pay the 5%, and that swap is where your money actually goes. paypaw takes btc, eth, bnb and a pile of memecoins, so if you are holding bonk for some reason you can load direct.

Count the swap. 5% is not 5%.

PayPaw all day! The telegram bot thing is actually huge, card in 15 mins!!

Ran both - solcard since about March, paypaw since July - so I have a bit of history on each.

solcard: the $10 issue fee is real and it stings once, then never again. The 5% on every load is the part that actually hurts and it does not get better. I put roughly 2.3k through it over four months and the fee line adds up to something like 115 dollars, which is a lot of money for the privilege of moving my own funds. Instant on the top up though - sol lands and it is spendable, no waiting.

paypaw: bot issued mine in about twenty minutes, close enough to the fifteen they claim. 3% plus the 2 dollar flat. The thing nobody mentions is the max card value is 10k, so if you are loading big you are making more cards and paying the issuance again each time. For 300 dollars a month that is irrelevant to you.

For your situation - Brazil, small loads, one card - paypaw. Cheaper to find out you hate it. What are you actually spending on?

Four months and 2.3k is a real answer. Rare on this board.

Still counting the wrong thing. 3% on paypaw plus whatever the swap into sol costs you, versus 5% on solcard if you already hold usdc. If OP is funding from usdc the gap is nearly nothing and the memecoin support is worthless to him.

Everybody in this thread is quoting a headline number and none of you are quoting your funding leg.

He said he is in Brazil buying small. He is not sitting on a usdc pile.

Thank you my friend for the real numbers, and thank you everyone. I go with PayPaw first because is cheaper to fail. If the bot not give me the card i come back and complain here, is a promise.
