US bank cards only ? This is "global" in the "World Series" sense of the word, for the moment.
Prepaid cards, atleast when I tried them, don't work.

AND insured ("All of the money in your Circle account is insured at no cost to you."). I am not sure how that will work out for them; given the short and eventful history of BC, I would assume that insurance charges would be quit…
if they follow you example, they will just convert "without fees" but using their much more expensive coversion rate
If I can measure your priorities by viewing your site, it appears that your #1 priority is a certain look-and-feel (as dabeeeenster put it "photos of hot 19 year old girls on a beach"). Along these lines, you have also purchased "circle.com" - do you read Dave Eggers too? Your #2 priority must be investment, since the "Management", "Board", and "Investors" sections of the site are the only ones that contain any actua…

I'm afraid people (regular people - not the HN following sort of people) are going to start getting confused between all the Circles and Squares and Stripes and so on.
In the infancy of the following brands, would you be able to derive the function of the company from its name?: Barnes and Noble Ben and Jerry's Black and Decker Briggs and Stratton Look, branding has trends. This is nothing new and has not negatively affected any of these brands.
