It’s ideal for those of us who like a thick green wad in their pocket, not so good for those who use plastic to buy bread and milk and get $10 cash back.

If you find an ATM that will let you take out $1000 at a time (here in Atlanta most Bank of America ATM's do) then your fees will be $6 per $1000 withdrawn. $2 Neteller fee, $2 processing fee by the debit card bank and $2 by the ATM machine. I use the debit card a lot, if you wire it to yourself through Neteller it is free but could take days. I guess it depends on how cheap you are.

Its cheaper to withdraw to a bank account or by cheque, quicker by Neteller card, depends how urgently you need the money!

I try to plan ahead and withdraw the cheapest way, but the card has come in handy when I've needed cash in a hurry.

Doesn't one need to transfer a balance from Neteller proper to the card? ie isn't the card like a debit card, with its own cash balance?

It seems like the primary use of the card is to get cash out of Neteller faster. With another job, I usually have cash in my bank account anyway, and the ATM fees there are 0 per Billion Dollars.

So, why have a Neteller card?

Re: Feedback On Neteller Debit Card Needed
 

The way I see it, it's not worth it if you are using it as a debit/atm card. Too many fees. Just use your regular bank account's atm card.

However, if you had a big score online, and wanted to get the money out without going to your bank account, it might be best to do it $1000 at a time through neteller.

My understanding is that NT is essentially an offshore account and that the debit cards are untraceable. No way of Big Brother tracking $$ in or out if used for cash withdrawals.

Aside from being a bad idea, I think this is untrue. I think the NETeller debit card works through a US-based bank.
