Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Not a scam. But ........... very difficult to use. Very few merchants actually take the prepaid visa card, which was very surprising - but anyway. Not worth the hassle. Also - crazy expensive fees

This is just junk. They accept a subscription fee, but it is impossible to load a card with any money, at least from Australia this appears to be the case. Despite the answer listed below, I have r... See more

After loading my account with money I have been completely unable to generate a virtual credit, regardless of numerous tries (literally 20 or 30 attempts across the span of a week). The error message... See more

It's not a scam. Actually it works quite well: if you need an US virtual card in case a site doesn't accept yours. However, the fees are simply abusive. For that simple thing, I remove 3 stars f... See more

Written by the company

US Unlocked is a service that allows non-US residents to use virtual cards to shop online from US retailers. Some benefits of using US Unlocked: 1. Access to US-only e-commerce: Many US-based online retailers only ship to US addresses. By using US Unlocked, you can create a virtual US address. 2. Lower shipping costs: Shipping internationally can be expensive, but by using a US address through US Unlocked, you can take advantage of domestic US shipping rates and save money by consolidating shipments. 3. Secure transactions: US Unlocked provides a secure platform for online transactions, protecting your personal and financial information. 4. Two card types: Unlimited number of merchant-specific virtual cards that lock to a specific merchant after a single use. These cards are great for managing online subscriptions. One-time-use cards that can only be used for a single transaction for the most secure shopping experience. 5. Simplified shopping experience: By using US Unlocked virtual cards, you can avoid the hassle of currency conversions and transaction fees that may arise when using a non-US prepaid card. Overall, US Unlocked can be useful for those looking to simplify the online purchasing process from US retailers.

Excelent service for non US people

Excelent service for non US people. Great for Applecare+ subscriptions, using every month. The service is not cheapest but worth it. Recoomened for everyone who do not want to be limited for regions.

This site is good but …

This site is good but you need to exercise judgment when using - first, the good, it is reasonably easy and straightforward to set-up an account, and from then on to use that account - the less good bit, are the charges. Transfer some money and there's a charge, keeping the account active, there's another charge (monthly) and each transaction, another charge. They do mount-up, they're not hidden, which is fair but they can end up eating into any savings that you make on purchasing US goods or services.

Excellent service for payments in US

US Unlocked is a great service to pay for goods and services in US stores. Once you sign up, you charge your account and can create one-time or recurring payment cards. I've used the service for Peacock TV and Hulu, for which only US payment cards can be used. Everything worked fine, without problems.

One of the only legit and smoothly running US card sites

One of the only legit and smoothly functioning US card services for people who don't reside in the US. I've had no failures with their cards and card address to gain access to US card only services (especially the huge streaming website starting with A and ending with zon but many others.)

Support is prompt, depositing timeframe and fees seem fair for the service provided and there have been no sneaky back charge antics yet in my lifetime with them. Obviously it's better to use my own card and pay no fees but highly recommended if a US based card is absolutely needed.

I can't say enough about this company-…

I can't say enough about this company- US Unlocked. I am Canadian so sometimes I want to be able to buy from US websites but they only allow US billing addresses- this can be frustrating and annoying. Then I found US Unlocked and my problem was solved. Now I can even watch WWE wrestling on Hulu without an issue! Thanks US Unlocked!

Essential for US Merchants + Service

Super Service: very useful for Merchants that insist on a US Card + Address (such as having a second iTunes Account).
You can also create Cards dedicated to a single Vendor so you’ve extra Security from being Scammed.
Took 1 Star off for the clunkiness of Adding Funds to the Account: an Instant Top Up feature would be great.

Good overall

I needed a card to use for US purchase so does what it says it does fairly well. It provides a few virtual cards which is good and you are able to segment your purchase.

Minimum deposit is 50$ and there is a small monthly charge to keep the account unfortunately.

The service actually works - but it's a bit slow

The service actually works! Albeit it's really slow to process your payment and takes some time for your payment to show up. However my payment cleared and all is good to go. I was REALLY skeptical from all the reviews, but everything panned out.

Reason for 4 stars and not 5 is because the payment took almost 8 days to be seen and placed in my account.

SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!!!!!!!

You are charged a fee for blinking, breathing and just existing.

You’ll be charged a transaction fee every time someone does a card check, despite no monies being taken.

You’ll be charged for FAILED transactions.

You’ll be charged when you try to use your card at merchants that don’t accept US Unlocked (which they won’t explicitly admit till after you’ve spent your hard earned money trying).

You’ll then be charged an EXTORTIONATE monthly fee that they fail to mention anywhere that you’ll be charged AND….get this...you’ll be charged A TRANSACTION FEE for your monthly account fee.

Basically I’ve topped up to use this service regularly and logged in to discover my account drained and empty from rogue account and transaction fees. No wonder $50 is the minimum top up. Daylight robbery!

Support are useless...a common theme with American companies.

Stops offer their services to non us…

Stops offer their services to non us costumers so that I can't reload my card and now instead of giving me my money back, they got the nerv to take the remaing money in a fee. They were good before but now they have become a scam.
