There were various reactions to the tweet, with some expressing support for such a collaboration.

No way dude a Dogecoin card. Wow. This is so big for Doge. Wow. Awesome. Incredible

Other replies doubted the idea, and said that Contessoto was doing more harm than good with his tweet.

This is sketch. You're doing damage. Just stop

Another follower said that Doge co-founder Billy Markus has already indicated his opposition to the idea of a Dogecoin credit card.

Didn't @BillyM2k warned you earlier not to promote it?

Why It Matters: Visa and Mastercard Inc MA have already engaged in crypto-related partnerships. Mastercard announced a deal with Coinbase Global Inc COIN earlier this month, for customers to be able to use Mastercard credit and debit cards to make purchases on the crypto exchange’s upcoming NFT marketplace.

Visa, meanwhile, partnered with BlockFi in 2020 to let cardholders receive 1.5% of their purchases back in BTC.
