Yes.
cheesy LMAO. How much is it though. UBA will have a workaround for you.
How much did you pay to get the dollar card and is it in Naira or Dollars.
Normally people are able to withdraw from foreign currency cards in local currency.
Edited:
I called UBA to confirm and they said you can't withdraw in Naira, only for web transactions. However, the Customer Service agent suggested I visit a Bank branch for assistance with that. So there you go.

It'd interest you to know, Drawnobet's being penalized for about 12 months or more.
Damola is who I can't say what happened to him/her. But, I'm sure grateful to all them that brought this gig to Nairaland.
God'll not stop blessing all who spread this gospel! There are lots of jobless youths everywhere!! Graduates!!! It's disheartening to see how a 4-year degree holder is being abused, in the name of 'employment.'

Let's keep doing our part, keep spreading the gospel, till there are no "lazy Nigerian youth" anymore! I STAN!!!

Use this calculation to pick less accented american calls. That is the magic most of us use.
Also, download technical keyboard or hacker's keyboard from playstore. These keyboards have the special functions as found on any computer keyboard. These special function keys are shortcuts to slow/speed up the audio file you're working on. e.g. f1 slows down the audio file, while f2 speeds it up.

SUPERPACK:
Per 1min American call = 20mins turnaround time.
Per 1mins British call= 40mins turnaround time.
So 6mins american call = 6 × 20mins= 2hrs.
6mins British or Australian call will be = 6× 40mins= 4hrs.
.
Learn the formula above.

How do you guys reach these minutes? Are you doing it full time? And what device are you using?

Not fulltime, but most of the time.
I use my phone mostly. Though, I use laptop occasionally.
And it's my first time transcribing more than 200 minutes a week. Usually, I just to 100 minutes and go to sleep. I guess seeing EFOSA on the leaderboard is the inspiration, aside from the mula grin

Haha, seeing EFOSA also motivated me to my first 100 minutes. I find it hard using my phone. I use laptop all the time. Your phone must have a really good battery.

If you're using laptop all the time, then you must be staying in an area with constant light I guess.

Not really. I use a Chromebook which stays up to 7 hours after a full charge.

Almost three days now my call has not been rated. The one I did yesterday afternoon sef the same thing. It's unlike them the highest it's happened to me is a full day and they'll surely rate it. Also I'm seeing dollar card etc. Is it necessary? I linked my Gtbank MasterCard to my PayPal, though I first tried linking my UBA MasterCard with my naija PayPal. The thing said card declined pls contact your financial institution abi bank. I didn't know it got declined because I used my UBA account and it was empty because I didn't want to risk it, sometime wey I no know before. I transfered 1k to my UBA and tried it again, this time they temporarily deducted $1.92 and linked the mastercard to my naija PayPal. With South African PayPal I linked with Gtbank MasterCard and they deducted the same charges and returned it back under 72 hours. Though I haven't withdrawn my funds but it's linked. So, I don't think there will be any problems when I want to withdraw cus it will be exchanged according to PayPal currency rate because they also did the same when dey deducted. So, it would be the same when they're paying and also I think MasterCard is accepted as a form of payment world wide. E no mean if nah Gtbank MasterCard or if nah Wells Fargo Master card.
