Revolut has been completely useless about this, and their chat teams are just there to waste your time.
Multiple currencies and cheap exchange are great when you travel a lot, and virtual credit cards and a nice spending UI are nice to haves. But nothing makes up for being jerked around for hours because their system is broken and they won't fix it.
Also, from an investment pov I think Apple Pay is going to crush them.
I may not. In fact, I have no idea what you mean by 'cash advance'. By HN standards I am pennyless, but wouldn't ever dream of spending or withdrawing money that I haven't got.
For some reason Revolut is unable or unwilling to support normal cash transfer mechanisms.
Anyway, call me poor all you like. I actually am.
This should not be an issue as long as the topup is done with a debit card.

Apple Pay doesn't have any "special" features that help with travel and paying in foreign currencies. Interestingly enough, Revolut supports Apple Pay in a couple of countries.
I am interested in using virtual/disposable cards ...
Is it, in fact, correct that no "proper" US bank offers these ? What about paypal ?
What is the most stable, boring, financial services provider that offers virtual cards ?
Does anyone allow me to create a virtual card via API, the same way I can "create" a new phone number with Twilio ?

Most US-issued bank debit cards work with Privacy.com, I think.
