They are holding $65K worth of BTC and USDT hostage!

They are holding $65K worth of BTC and USDT hostage!

The Crypto life card has not worked a day for me! I deposited a part of my speculative savings on the card. I tried to spend a small amount of around $1200 at a clothing store, the card declined.
No explanation from CL support.

I tried to ask for a limit increase and then I got an email from compliance/support to explain where my funds are coming from in September this year. After explaining the situation they told me they are investigating the situation and it will take 60 days or more?!?!

I discovered this week they disabled my account without a notice! I no longer have access to to my funds! I want to withdraw everything back to the address where my funds came from. But not a single response!

If this is not resolved in 7 days I intend to complain to the financial ombudsman and to ledger themselves as this atrocious & dubious business practice will damage their brand as word gets around in the crypto community.

Don’t bother with a CL card and certainly don’t risk giving them your bitcoin or other crypto as you might not get it back. I’m now left struggling to get my savings back! I am very worried and very angry!

Unprofessional and untrustworthy

I have been waiting for months for a new card. The old one was cancelled with them emailing to say they are replacing all cards with new ones. But my new card has never arrived after many months of waiting. I was lied to by customer support who first told me it had been posted but I should check with my post office.

I challenged this and then they changed their story to say it had not been sent and there were some unspecified technical problems and it had not been posted. Several requests since have been met with vague standard responses about there still being problems but never any detail as to when I might actually receive my card.

This is literally the worst and most unprofessional experience I have ever had with a bank or financial services company. How can they fail to send you a card for several months and not be able to tell you openly about why.

The concept is good in theory but this company is incapable of actually delivering.

Dear JH,

We're sorry to hear about the inconvenience you've experienced with your card delivery. It seems the card may have been delayed or lost in transit, which can occasionally occur despite our expected delivery window of under two weeks. Unfortunately, postal delays can sometimes impact timely arrival, and packages may be returned to the sender or lost by the postal service, leading to significant delays.

To resolve this promptly, we’d be happy to issue a replacement card immediately. Please reach out to us at support@cl-cards.com, and we’ll ensure this is taken care of as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to assisting you further.

Sincerely,
The CL Cards Team

Terrible customer experience

Terrible customer experience. Was in contact with support for half a year, not only they failed to detect the issue with an account, but they also failed to review submitted documents and kept asking for different documents each time changing the request. They failed to communicate accurately of what needs to be provided when the documents were provided and did not inform about any additional needs. The reply time was also horribly long. Now, I am waiting for getting my money back, which they said it will take 60 days. Hopefully I won't be needing to ping them again after 60 days.

They are holding £56k of BTC hostage

They are holding £56k of BTC hostage
The Crypto life card worked well with no problems for about a year until they “upgraded” my card in June 23 & cancelled the old one. 3 months later they still haven’t replaced my physical card.
I put 1.3BTC, £56,000 on the card to pay for a new kitchen & house refurb. All attempts to pay for my kitchen with the card have been declined. I have a €8475 daily limit. I tried to split the kitchen payment into £6k tranches, well under my limit, it was still declined. No explanation from CL support.
I have tried to transfer the 1.3BTC back to my ledger but it is being held for manual review. I can’t spend the BTC on the card & now they’re not giving it back to me either.
If this is not resolved in 7 days I intend to complain to the financial ombudsman and to ledger themselves as this atrocious & dubious business practice will damage their brand as word gets around in the crypto community.
Don’t bother with a CL card and certainly don’t risk giving them your bitcoin as you might not get it back. I’m now left struggling to pay for my house refurb by other means and left very worried and very angry

Update: They released my BTC transfer back to my ledger a couple of days later, then posted the reply below denying they ever held it hostage. Yeah, ok, you’ll have no more than a few hundred bucks of mine on there going forward. I won’t make the mistake of trusting you with that amount of BTC again. Beware CEXs and cards. As soon as you transfer your coins to them they think it’s theirs.

Dear Mark,

We regret to hear about the difficulties you've experienced and sincerely appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

Regarding the issue of your missing CL physical card, it appears that the card was unfortunately lost in transit. We apologize for this inconvenience and would like to assist you in ordering a new card. While your virtual card remains fully active and can be used for transactions online and onsite through Apple Pay and Google Pay, we understand the importance of having your physical card for certain transactions. Please feel free to reach out to us at support@cl-cards.com, and we will expedite the process of sending a replacement.

With respect to the declined payments, these transactions were flagged due to exceeding the non-3D Secure (3DS) authorization threshold. This is a fraud prevention measure designed to ensure the safety of high-value payments. We previously communicated this via email and recommend that the merchant enable 3D Secure for transactions of this nature to be successfully processed. We are happy to offer further assistance in ensuring your transactions are processed smoothly in the future. Regarding the withdrawal of your 1.3 BTC, we understand your concern.

The transaction was flagged for manual review as part of our system’s routine checks designed to ensure the security of high-value withdrawals. We can confirm that your BTC withdrawal was approved shortly after this review, and we apologize for any delay this may have caused.

We remain committed to resolving any outstanding concerns you may have and would encourage you to contact us at support@cl-cards.com for further assistance. We greatly value your feedback and are determined to provide a resolution that meets your expectations.

Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your patience throughout this process.

Bad service and support, don't trust this company

I applied for a metamask card, passed KYC and the next day my account got disabled. I contacted support, they decline to help and only say "no further info will be provided". I checked your terms and conditions and couldn't find any laws/rules that I broke. Does it mean I got blacklisted manually by your employee by their wish?

Dear Aleksandr,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely regret the frustration you've experienced.

We want to clarify that your account was disabled due to compliance reasons, which we are required to follow based on strict regulatory obligations. Unfortunately, in these cases, we are unable to provide detailed information as it relates to security and compliance protocols. These decisions are not taken lightly and are made in accordance with industry standards to ensure adherence to legal requirements.

However, we have recently updated some of our internal processes and rules, and we may now be able to reassess your application. We encourage you to reach out to our support team at metamask@cl-cards.com if you wish to explore the possibility of having your account reviewed again.

We truly value your interest in our services and appreciate your understanding in these matters. Our aim is always to operate with transparency and in full compliance with regulatory standards.

Best regards,

Started off good

Started off good, they then said upgrading the card in June and old physical working card will be replaced. They deactived the old working card, Been over 2 months now, replacement card still not recieved. Contact customer services, just excuses about delay, no ETA. Not at all impressed.

Bitcoin transaction has been held for manual review

"Since July 23rd, my Bitcoin transaction has been held for manual review. There isn't even a transaction ID that can be checked in the Bitcoin explorer. The only responses to my support inquiries are 'please be patient.' So disappointing..."

Since July 11

Since July 11, I have discovered that my CL card is unusable. I have been trying to contact customer service to resolve the issue. The customer service representatives provided me with three addresses that do not belong to me, asking me to choose one to return my funds. Despite providing them with the required materials, my funds have not been returned. Up until now, there has been no clear response; they keep saying that the process takes a long time. Is your company short on staff, or are you deliberately not returning customers' funds, or even misappropriating them? Please be cautious,

your company is unwilling to refund and is deliberately holding onto users' assets and misusing them.

Please provide proof of your reserve funds to ensure the security of users' assets.

Your website can’t find any details about tg please send me your official tg

Dear Sir/Madam,

We sincerely apologize for the difficulties you’ve encountered and understand your concerns. To clarify, our process is to return funds to the wallets from which the deposits were originally received. However, certain platforms may send funds from a contract address, which can sometimes result in the wallet addresses on our system not matching your external wallet. This can cause delays as we work to ensure the correct address is used to return your funds securely.

Please rest assured that we are not deliberately withholding your funds, and the delay is related to ensuring compliance and security during the refund process.

If you are still finding difficulties with this process, we would like to help resolve this for you as soon as possible. Please reach out to us at support@cl-cards.com so we can review your case in detail and provide a clear resolution.

Additionally, if you're unable to locate our official Telegram channel on the website, we will gladly provide you with the correct details through our support team.

Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to resolving this matter promptly.

Sincerely,

I’m impressed with the Crypto Life…

Well I’m impressed with the Crypto Life Card. It’s straightforward to use and offers features like cashback options and zero-interest loans. The cards ease of loading and spending, makes it a top choice for anyone looking to manage their crypto efficiently. May have some issues with customer service but it’s not been a major problem for me. Highly recommended for its practicality and user-friendly design.
