This service has just launched, though there are other cards/services like this -- each with their own restrictions, screening, privacy and abilities -- and always consider the geographical issues, and KYC/AML issues tied to verifying your account.
I love me some LiteCoin as people know!!
A lot of the info I did find on this, for my research is still pretty basic.
I used their website, lots of links and dropdowns.
I wrote on this the other day, but not many saw it, and wanted to expose this info again to more people... holidays and all, you know?
They are in a private beta right now, until Feb. 2018 full launch.
ONGOING TX. FEES:
They had this to say re -- their fees:

How We Set Our Exchange Rate:
--
LitePay has relationships with many Litecoin exchanges around the world, but we only utilize exchanges which meet our operational and regulatory requirements. When calculating our exchange rates for LitePay invoices, we only incorporate rates of Litecoin exchanges which meet our regulatory, operational, and market depth requirements.
To calculate the exchange rate for US Dollars, we typically pull the market depth from an exchange with adequate liquidity and reliable withdrawal capabilities in the USA and Eurozone. We factor "slippage" into our exchange rates, which means that the larger the value of the invoice, the lower the exchange rate. Slippage is usually only noticeable on very large invoices.
We set exchange rates for non-USD currencies indirectly using the Open Exchange Rates API. In the future, as Litecoin markets mature, LitePay will use those markets directly.

I made this up to show the rates the day I first posted on this ....12/24/2017 -- about 6:30 pm EST:

My reply to their Tweet the other day:

BitPay is a huge international company around for quite awhile.
They are well known, have huge presence in the crypto/fiat gateway payment world and......
For whatever reason, politics or otherwise, they have never implemented LTC for payment on their system but this week, announced that they would implement BCH / Bitcoin Cash on their system.
Litecoin has been around for years! It is fast and reliable so BitPay and some of their strange behaviours in the market should be duly noted.
Again.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a day.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.
