I just ordered two. One for me and one for a friend. One, to play with the tech. Two, to use as a room key (hoping it works for that)

I forwarded my original order confirmation to [email protected] and asked them to cancel it.
Thas was all I had to do on my part.

Mine actually arrived today. I haven't gone anywhere to use it, as I'm not going to take a special trip just to test it out. We'll see how it stands up over time.
I do wish that it would let you give a nickname to a CC. Even if it only showed while cycling through the cards. I understand the need for VISA or MC, etc to show when you hand it over. Just a little help while choosing would be nice.

OMG this is getting sickening from a customer protection point of view. Coin is now encouraging merchants not to enable service code enforcement: https://support.onlycoin.com/hc/en-u...-October-2015-
And weasel wording the liability harms that causes.

Right now, all Walmart's are working, Target's are rolling out by the end of the summer, and a bunch of small businesses and essentially all international businesses. Coin is dead, already. And resorting to encouraging merchants to disable security features...

As I've said for a while, these "wallet saving" types of products are about 1-2 years too late and way too half baked to be able to improve enough in the time they have left.

And they're busy at work on Facebook reassuring everyone it should work fine with chip cards as long as the terminal allows the card to be swiped - *sigh* they don't get it, do they? Merchants are NOT going to expose themselves to the fraud liability shift to make sure Coin (which is just a card skimming and cloning device) works. At least LoopPay is up front about the shortcomings...
