Bitcoin blocked my debit card?

So I have used the debit card I have linked to my bitcoin currently multiple times with no problems . Then out of the blue I loaded money on my debit and tried to buy coin yesterday , but for some reason the bank blocked the transaction ! So I called the bank and in fact it was on their end , said they blocked the transfer for "suspicious spending pattern" lol.. Anyways I get it hashed out with the bank , and tell them fore go any future blocks to coinbase from the card , and they agree . so when I go back to coinbase to repurchase the coins the debit card is no longer available and when I try to re-add the card it locked out by coinbase now , wtf ... An error message pops you and says " unable to use this card , contact support" except there is no fucking support only a bot that vaguely answers questions I didn't even ask and some links for commonly asked questions !! So sry about this long winded ass post , but the question I'm getting to is how the hell do I get this card unblocked through coin base now , in mean it can't be if you get one blocked transaction through the bank they permanently ban that particular card? But there's no support line or anyone I can contact at coin base to straighten this out :mad::confused:
 
Yeah, good luck getting any customer service from them. I transferred a good chunk of coin from Coinbase to Blockchain a while back and it got stuck in pending status for days. No explanation and no recourse other than to put a ticket in the automated system.

It eventually cleared and my funds got transferred. I got an email a week later from CB saying they would look into the issue, but it had already been resolved by then.

If they can't sort out your debit, you could always use a CC if you have one or try a prepaid Visa.
 
You can email them and wait a few days for a typical generic/useless response from their customer support staff:
Coinbase | Email Us
Or if youre in a hurry, locate a btc atm or a virtual ATM which are located just about everywhere these days(computer stores, convenient stores, etc)
 
Thanks guys , that's kinda what i was worried about was getting the run around with these assholes ! Probably just have to buy a reloadable pre payed card but then I'm back to square 1 with my weekly limit :mad: i would hit a bitcoin ATM but I needed it for a pretty big order so their outrageous service charge might not be worth it . may have to go old school and just take my chances with wu even though they've been declining transfers left and right , FML :rolleyes:...
