Anyone use Circle.com to buy BTC?

I went over to /r/bictoin the other day to see if they were talking about how btc prices have been dropping and noticed that Circle.com just opened to the public (was in beta previously?). To my understanding its just like Coinbase except FREE. No fee's for buying btc and transactions are instant. It took me 2 days to verify my bank account and just this morning I tested it by purchasing .0026 btc ($1.00) and it was in my account instantly! Just thought more people should know about this, seems like a better alternative to coinbase. Weekly limit is $2,500 btw.

I was a beta tester too and welcomed the $10 Circle deposited into my account about one month ago. Just yesterday when I logged in to Circle instead of Coinbase to get some coin while the gettin's good...my $10 incentive was worth just under $8 due to the BTC decline. Hey...it was a gift right, so no worries there.

Anyway...I had the ability to purchase $700 total for the day...$500 would be available immediately...the other $200 after bank confirmed, etc. So I purchased $500 and it was indeed available immediately. So...with my Circle sign up incentive and my $500 buy...I was Bitcoin ballllllin' with $508 in fiat + zero fees. All of which I transferred to my offline wallet.

+1 for Circle at the moment!

Fees will kick in later.

If you're using the BTC for anything on the Deepweb, don't do it. They're US-based and as part of FinCEN money transmitter requirements, they will be monitoring and reporting diligently.
