The BitPay Card can be used anywhere Mastercard can be used, including with DoorDash and Uber Eats, according to a post on BitPay’s blog.
“Use the card with DoorDash, Uber Eats, GrubHub and any other food delivery service. You can even order food delivery with your local restaurants that use their own delivery service,” the post states.
BitPay states in the post that its card allows “fee-free instant conversation of bitcoin or more than a dozen other other cryptocurrencies into dollars every time you swipe.”
Once approved, BitPay account-holders get virtual Mastercard debit cards that can be used at “millions of retailers,” according to the company. Account-holders also can use Apple Pay or Google Pay for in-person transactions.
BitPay suggests in the blog post that there are several ways to use the cards to order food from delivery companies if using a BitPay card as a Mastercard isn’t a good option. They include buying gift cards for the food delivery companies with the card or using service such as Menufy or Takeaway.com.
BitPay states on its website that the cryptocurrencies that cardholders can use with their accounts include: bitcoin, ethereum, bitcoin cash, dogecoin, Shiba Inu, litecoin , XRP, Dai, wrapped bitcoin, Gemini USD, USD Coin, and Binance.
