Bitcoin POP / CDReload retail cash loading is discontinued. Do not generate or use a retail cash-loading barcode. For a past transaction, keep your receipt and contact official support.

Start with the current quote, not an old percentage.

The retail receipt records the cash load. It does not, by itself, confirm a Bitcoin purchase or wallet delivery.

01 / Different stages, different amounts

Follow the dollars through the whole route.

At purchase review

Review the dollar amount, quoted exchange rate, applicable service charges or spread, and expected Bitcoin amount. A reference price on a market website is not the same as your executable quote.

At wallet delivery

Check any network or delivery charge and whether it is already included in the displayed amount. Confirm the destination and the Bitcoin amount you expect to receive. Do not count the same charge twice.

A displayed percentage is not enough to reconstruct a purchase. It may describe a pricing component rather than every cost. Confirm its calculation base, whether it is included in the quoted rate, and which other charges apply. The fee disclosure and your live purchase review should be read together.

The published tier guide describes account pricing tiers. Check the tier and rate actually shown for your eligible transaction. A $1,000 example in an article does not establish your eligibility, available limit or final rate, and you should not deposit extra money just to pursue a discount.

02 / A sample purchase

Compare what leaves your pocket with what reaches your wallet.

Suppose a fictional transaction uses a $1,000 purchase budget and quotes a final delivery of 0.0095 BTC after all purchase and delivery charges. Suppose the retailer also collects a separate $4 cash loading charge outside that budget. These invented values explain the arithmetic. They are not Crypto Dispensers rates, a retail fee schedule, an available deposit limit or a current Bitcoin quote.

$1,004

Total dollars paid: the $1,000 purchase budget plus the separate $4 retail charge.

0.0095 BTC

The final Bitcoin delivery assumed by this example, with no later charge still to subtract.

$105,684.21

Effective dollars paid per BTC: $1,004 divided by 0.0095 BTC.

Now suppose a comparable reference price at the same time is $100,000 per BTC. At that reference price, 0.0095 BTC represents $950. The difference from the $1,004 outlay is $54. That difference is a comparison against an assumed reference, not an itemized company fee, tax, profit calculation or future resale quote.

If you instead have exactly $1,000 total to spend, a separate $4 charge would leave only $996 for the purchase in this illustration. You cannot reuse the 0.0095 BTC result: a different purchase amount needs a new quote.

The reusable calculation is simple: total dollar outlay divided by Bitcoin actually received. Use matching amounts and timing. Do not subtract charges again if the final delivery amount already accounts for them. Bitcoin's value can change before or after purchase.

03 / Review before money moves

Know which amount you are agreeing to.

  1. Check the actual quote.

    After eligible cash funds post, use the supported cash balance purchase route. Review the rate, fees, delivery estimate and any network priority options shown. Ask which costs are included and which are additional.

  2. Check the destination and expiration.

    Select a compatible wallet you own and control. Verify the full address and network. If the quote expires, review the refreshed terms rather than relying on the previous amounts.

Never use a barcode or wallet destination sent by a stranger who says you must protect your savings, pay a government debt or unlock a prize. Read the safe buying checklist. Bitcoin transactions can be difficult or impossible to reverse, and no price comparison removes investment risk.

04 / Common questions

Clear up the common fee mixups.

Can I calculate my purchase from a percentage in an old article?

No. Use the current quote and your applicable terms. An old article cannot establish the current rate, account eligibility, calculation method, retail charge or network cost for your transaction.

Does adding $1,000 in cash automatically buy Bitcoin?

Retail cash loading has ended. Historical account funding was separate from a Bitcoin purchase. For a past deposit, check the account records and contact official support rather than submitting another payment.

Does no Crypto Dispensers loading fee mean the whole purchase is free?

No. A historical loading fee described only one step, not the total cost of buying Bitcoin. For current purchase methods, review the complete quote and applicable fees before confirming.

Should I subtract a network charge from the displayed Bitcoin amount?

First check what that displayed amount means. If it is the final amount after the charge, subtracting it again would double count it. If the quote shows a separate charge not yet included, account for it once. Ask support if the presentation is unclear.

Does a promotional credit reduce every user's cost?

No. Current offers have their own terms and eligibility. Do not include an unconfirmed reward in your budget or treat a pending promotion as posted funds. Rely only on an offer actually available to you with current written terms.
