I take it that you are talking about ACR releasing your money. Is it normal for it to take this long? Have you contacted them yet?

Ok guys, after pestering support they processed my withdrawal and the money successfully showed up in my blockchain account. I signed up for Circle and used the address from my new circle account to send money from my blockchain account to circle. I am now awaiting the funds to show up in circle before I link my bank account and withdraw it from there.

Usually it is only "pending" for a few hours (like 3-4 hours).

If you are talking about the BlockChain site... Yes it will show pending sometimes even after being received and in the destination account.

Yeah I received the funds in circle not too long after, however I then found out they would only withdraw into American bank accounts? Then I created an account at coinbase and tried to send my funds there, circle has since locked me out and is asking for me to send my ID, I told them I will not do that and to send my funds back the way they came (blockchain) I am still awaiting their reply, I wish I had went for coinbase first instead of circle.

Man, sorry to hear that this is still on going? Have you incurred any fees yet in the process? If so at which points? Did Circle explain why your account was locked?

Huh... I think they all want ID. I am not 100% sure. I did not Know about that American Bank account only as that is where I have an account. Please keep us updated very interesting.

Yeah I had a small fee transferring the bitcoin from blockchain over to circle, can't remember exactly what it was. Unfortunately yes this is all still ongoing, they unlocked my account today but still could not send the funds, so I sent off another email, they take about 2-3 days to respond each time so I am not holding my breath. I read online that Canadians can withdraw to our bank accounts via coinbase, I just wish I read that sooner because now I'm trying to get the funds sent there from circle.

That is rough. Thanks for keeping us posted, and it sounds like coinbase and blockchain are the preferred combos.

Ok I finally got my money off of Circle and sent it back to Blockchain. I did not have to send them my ID, but it took many emails for my account privileges to return. My bitcoins are sitting on Blockchain for now until I hear back from Coinbase (my next attempt) I am asking them in advance how their withdrawal process works so that I do not end up with my funds stuck on there like it was on Circle. For those of you with coinbase that have put money into your bank account, did you have to first add a payment method in order to withdraw? Did coinbase request ID as well?

Sorry don't think I can really be much help because all the things you are asking I did when I set up my account. I connected my Bank account then Debit card issued from the same bank as payment options as the first thing way before any withdrawal. Onto the ID thing. I can't remember if they required ID for any transaction (I think they did) or they required ID for higher limits. I know when they lowered my buy limits when I was absent from their site for a while, there was a link on site for actions to take to raise limits. The first action was to go through ID verification and when I looked at that, I had already completed that process earlier although I don't remember what that entailed.

I was not comfortable sending my ID or adding a payment method to any of the bitcoin wallets especially when I don't intend on using them again, I had no choice but to use this withdrawal method on Pokerking if I wanted my funds, smallfrie graciously traded for my bitcoins and made everything much easier. I wish I tried that earlier lol and avoided the headache. I did learn a lot about how the process works though so thanks to everyone for all the information. The one thing that I thought was interesting is that my funds were constantly fluctuating by a few dollars every day, I imagine there are some bitcoin sharks making some good money buying and selling. Thanks again smallfrie and thanks everyone for following the thread.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Just wondering if you are going to do a write up on what you learned, and some tips and tricks?

Update: Just thought I would do an update on withdrawal time on ACR via bitcoin. I just did a cash out on ACR via bitcoin on Monday morning sometime before 10AM ET and the cash out was completed sometime before 10 AM ET today Wednesday morning. So not blazing fast but pretty fast relative to other options

visa bitpay card may be your friend. Costs $9.95 in bitcoin for card and takes about a week to arrive. Use the same as any debit card- cash back with a purchase or ATM withdrawal. Card fee is $2 for ATM use plus whatever the ATM charges. No fee on cash back with purchase. I increase my miner's fee to priority when sending from Blockchain to bitpay card. Bitpay has always stated the fee was too low but, transaction has always completed in a timely manner.
