I dont use Coinbase anymore after they did the dirty on me. I applied for a Wirex account (can do it online), you dont need the physical card to trade.
Link it to your UK bank account, and then you can have STEEM in less than 5 minutes.
Buy LiteCoin, then send the LTC to the Blocktrades using the wallet Steemit connection option.
You can even scan the code to save more time.
Don't buy BTC or Ether using Wirex unless you like fees of $2 - $4 for doing your transfer out. LTC is around 6c.
This is very helpful, thank you @slobberchops. I might be hitting you up on Discord with annoying questions, if I get stuck! Cheers mate

No worries, it's easy to use.. just be careful.. like most other crypto projects when it goes wrong there's no support.
I think it was @steevc that mentioned Wirex - I must give it a try.
Is it an easy sign-up? What verifications etc are needed?
A step-by-step guide on this for UK steemians to buy more steem could be good 😊
This is a great idea!
If I find a good way I’ll happily make a video about it - a super easy how-to guide!

Excellent - perhaps a joint AshChopsTV production...?
💯 This is a super valuable idea!

Yes it's easy and you can buy before the physical card arrives, in fact you don't need the card at all. That's for withdrawals.
I had it all working same day, but some banks don't want to link the account. @goblinknackers has had problems with TSB, but I can vouch for Santander working well.
This is all super useful, thanks again @slobberchops!

You have to submit various ID to get verified. I've not been using the card too much as I'm not spending crypto, but it does make it easy to buy Steem. Costs a quid each month to keep it active.
I will give it a go.
Did I see you had a referral link for this Steve?
It's on most of my posts. You only get paid once the new user buys a certain amount of crypto I think. Not had a referral reward yet :)
This is brilliant advice
