No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Has anyone heard about this? It's a single card that you can add your other cards on and then just choose which card you want to use before you make the payment.
The website is https://onlycoin.com
and heres a little video on youtube about it:
I'm thinking about actually getting it, just cause its kinda cool and I can take one or two cards with me instead of everything

Those links are pretty outdated. I figured in the 4/5 months, something has changed since the last poster on those links.

Nope, nothing has changed since it was posted several times in the past.

I can confirm what others have said --- absolutely nothing new. It's a terrible excuse for a website to get our hopes up like that. lol
IMO, wait for something better. This seems like a great idea but the presentation isn't as great as it seems. 1) I heard that the company terms state that they are not responsible for anything that happens to your card(s). 2) You have to purchase a new COIN every two or three years. There are many more problems but those are two that I've heard.

Not much different than cell phone technology. We keep buying those.
The COIN card comes with a one year warranty. They'll replace defective units in that time frame. You break it, lose it or damage it then you are no better off than you would be with any other electronic device.
It was intriguing enough that I signed up for one when they first came out. Can supply updates when (if) I get it.

Wonder if it will work with the Chip and pin, or Chip and Signature. I know I used my Citi at Walmart the other day, and they've started using Chip and Signature on those.
they're probably experiencing a lot of issues security wise, managing implementation for people who don't want it too reliant on their phones, button being too sticky (heard that some demos have been a bit rough), advent of chip coming into the US, etc.
the announcement of chip by 2015 probably just ruined their business model.
It does not work with EMV.
