@Sascha-Aquamarine-Cheetah#136424 Dat kan niet. Je kan er alleen in winkels of online mee betalen.

    Mit welchen Karten ist das möglich kann ich noch andere Karten bestellen

      Can someone send me money to my travel card using the IBAN number while I do not have a premium membership?

        @Sascha-Aquamarine-Cheetah#136427

        For this you would need a Premium or Joint membership.

          @Masoud-Olive-Tiger#136432

          Yes. Also please have some patience during the night, you've already asked this 3 times in 3 different topics now. :)

            Hello, I want to order the green card, but I can not choose it. It only lets me order a credit card. I have a travel card so far.

              @Lars-Olive-Wolf#138315 you need to change your membership from Travelcard to Greencard then. Your Travelcard will be disabled as far as I know.

                @Sander#138317 Hello, actually this is what i want to do. I can only choose: premium, joint or pack, there is no green card option.

                  You can choose a Greencard with the Premium membership. At least I can.

                    @Lars-Olive-Wolf#138319 hmm I'd ask Support 💬 in that case, I believe you should be able to change between the Travelcard and Green card plans.

                      Hi @Edward-Violet-Dolphin#138476

                      This depends on your membership. With only a Travel Card membership it's not possible. Direct Debits are included with the Premium, Joint and Business memberships.

                        Waarom accepteert Deutsche Bahn in de ICE nog steeds geen Bunq Travelcard?

                          @Praveen#140777 had je dit toevallig al aan DB gevraagd? 🙈

                            Can I use the Bunq card for an online reservation before having used it with pin? This is the first time I am using it and just booked a hotel, would like to know if that went right. The app said something about having to use the pin for the first time...

                              Hi 👋 @Sonita-Orange-Panda#140834

                              Yes you can immediately use the card online. All features like offline payments and contactless payments with the physical card will be activated after a payment with the chip in the terminal (or atm) and the PIN code.

                                @Tim#140835
                                Would you really recommend that as a card can't be blocked until it was not activated as a real card?

                                  @Heiko-Hartwig#140838

                                  Not sure if I understand you correctly but how are you going to use the physical card without the PIN?

                                  I don't see any security issues by using the card online or in a mobile wallet.

                                    @Tim#140853 Ich meinte das so: solange die Karte nicht aktiviert wurde (wie man es bei Erhalt ja normalerweise tun würde), steht in der App keine Funktion zur Verfügung, um die Karte einzufrieren. Daher hatte ich mich gefragt, ob es wirklich sinnvoll ist, die Karte online einzusetzen, da man sie im Fall eines Betruges nicht selbst sperren kann.

                                      Hi Bunq and everyone else.
                                      I have to say that I am really unimpressed by this bogus card that Bunq sold to us as some sort of revolutionary card that will solve all of our travel mysteries.
                                      After trying to use this card during my travels to Madeira and Mexico, I have to say it adds exactly zero value in comparison with the regular debit card.
                                      It's not a traditional credit card as they claim but merely a fancy shiny debit card that does exactly the same thing as the debit card and nothing else.
                                      If you go rent a car like I did in Madeira and Mexico, you need to leave a deposit that can sometimes be as high as €1,500. If you had a credit card with a spending limit of €2.000 for example, you could put this deposit on your credit card and continue using your bank balance for your holidays expenses. With this travel card, however, as is explained in the fine print, you need to have the entire amount in your bank balance at the time and it will be frozen for the duration of your rental, meaning you won't be able to spend this money otherwise.
                                      You're better off getting yourself an Amex and just using this card for your travel needs than falling for this glorified debit card. I think it's a joke.
