I got a Byblos Bank Makers Card.
Do you guys know if I can still use it to buy online internationally if I get fresh dollars?
Fresh dollar usually means very few restrictions---should be good to go, depending on the bank of course.

nope, banks are applying same restrictions because their systems can't yet do separate restrictions for fresh dollar cards
by restrictions I mean, not the amount you can spend, but where you can spend it.
many sites are blocked for spending.
if you wanna use it for buying stuff like from amazon then sure it will work, but if you wanna for example buy crypto then it wont.

Some sites are restricting, but not as a built in restriction to the card. Cypto is technically illegal here, but there are ways to circumvent it if you look around---same applies to online gambling. I have a card based on 'fresh' dollars from Blom and as of yet, have not been denied a transaction, anywhere from a few dollars to a several hundred. Banks CAN do that, and if you are at a bank which can't or won't, then I suggest you move on. I would think that Byblos can do that without an issue though
Cypto is technically illegal here
Last time I checked, there was only a circular from BDL discouraging retail investors from speculating on crypto assets. That does not make it illegal, but it remains unregulated.
you can't take your crypto and pay for a burger .. in Lebanon and in the current economic state , crypto is useless
crypto is not illegal, but they restricted every way of turning your money from the bank to another method of money online so you’re discouraged from spending it.

I have a fresh dollar account linked to my online card. there is no limit so far for fresh money but the procedure to transfer to the online card and call the hotline to upgrade the limit will take 2 days
Guys, anyone knows a reputable website in order to buy Amazon France gift cards?
Thanks

This is the embark card limit. As for regular LBP debit card i think it is at 14 USD.

I don't trust Blom's limits any more as they are arbitrarily changed, and their website 6 months later, speaks nothing of the new limits. I have a fresh dollar account at Blom and an accompanying debit/credit card and that works fine with no limits as far as I can see. I got a blom mini card based on fresh dollar for a family member and that seems to work everywhere too--my mini card which is expiring this month, is next to worthless. I ended up paying a few Ogero bills to use the balance and now down to less than $5.

My blom mini card expired last month. I wasnt able to use more than15$ per month. I only used it for international payments like aliexpress, didnt try local purchases.
Apparently the limit for online purchases is now 15 usd per month. I only have two recurring which are 5 and 8 so 13 total per month but this is still too narrow.

Which bank? and is it an LBP card?
Audi. LBP account.
Also, are google pay payments deducted as LBP or counter valued to USD?
I just called Audi after my steam purchase wouldn't go through (5$), they said that that "LBP accounts can no longer buy internationally, if you want to buy online, you need to use a USD fresh dollar account"
Makes sense - if you forget all the usd they stole from people.

you can still use $15 from the lollars
