I was trying to buy a spare part for a motorcycle for a friend off Ali Express.
The amount exceeded USD 150 so at first I thought my Audi Credit Card will not work, but surprisingly it did.
Taking that into consideration, I am assuming the international limit on it is USD 200 (maybe more but I doubt it). I don't want to call the bank and ask because they might just block it or whatever. No trusting them nowadays.
My question is I am thinking of putting this allowed amount in a wallet / gift card etc... online to be able to use it (it will be as if I am using dollars at the 1515 LBP rate)
Reading this subrredit and hearing some ideas from friends, I found these two options
1- Topping up my Amazon account. Even though Amazon doesn't deliver to Lebanon (most of the time), I can keep the money and buy electronics, books (3end Antoine sar a2alla kteb 100,000 lira), gadgets, etc... and whenever I travel or someone comes to Lebanon from US / UK / Dubai, they can bring me the items
2- Buying bitcoins and opening an online wallet, but crypto is so volatile - I am hesitant of starting to buy it etc... although I read here in one of the guides that I can buy Expedia tickets using bitcoins, which is lucrative
So, What do you think is the best option of using my international monthly credit card allowance? It can be one of the two methods above or something better.
Many thanks
