Reliable CC shops

Hey carders,
Solid thread — always appreciate when someone drops actual tested recs instead of the usual vaporware hype. Been lurking on this board for a minute and finally chiming in 'cause OP's list hits close to what I've been rotating through this year. 2025's been a wild ride with all the bank-side AI bullshit cracking down harder, so reliability is king. I'll break down my takes on your picks, plus a couple extras I've vetted, and touch on that scam alert in the replies. Keeping it real: no affiliates here, just straight experiences from dumps I've flipped.

Deep Dive on OP's Core Picks (Updated Status as of Now)​

Your shortlist is a solid starter pack, but 2025's ecosystem has evolved. Banks are leaning harder into behavioral AI (think Chase's new velocity checks), so live rates are down 15-20% industry-wide. Here's the granular breakdown, pulled from recent pulls and forum echoes:
  • Black (blackstash.cc): Oof, this one's toast — seized back in Q2 '25 by some joint US/EU task force. If you're seeing mirrors, steer clear; they're honey pots 90% of the time. Pre-seizure, it was a workhorse for US/EU CVVs (heavy on Visa/MC bins 4147/51 prefixes), with weekly refreshes and a clunky but functional search by state/zip match. Prices: $4-7 for basics, $12-18 for fullz w/SSN/DOB. Live rate hovered 80-85% on my end for low-volume skims. Lesson: Always mirror-check via Dread before dropping BTC. Replacement vibe: Hit up BigStash if you're nostalgic (more on that below).
  • Castro (castrocvv.cc / ccastro.cc): Still kicking, but the FUD in that reply ain't wrong — mixed bag lately. That scam alert? Likely from a batch of over-hyped APAC dumps that tanked post-Visa’s EMV 3.0 push. I've rotated through it heavy this quarter: Invite codes (CARDER777, Perfect, Wealthy, Dorito, or the reg link's CASTRO777) get you in with a free tester, which is clutch for new blood. Products: Killer for VBV/MCSC-enabled cards (bypass 3D Secure like butter), plus elite high-limit fullz ($15-25 ea., up to $50k limits). Bulk packs (50-100 cards) drop to $8-12 avg. Features: Auto-refund on DOA (dead on arrival) within 24h — saved me $150 last month. Search filters by bin validity, country, and even merchant type (e.g., Amazon-safe). Support's Telegram-based, responsive if you're not a noob. Live Rate: 88% on my 200-card test last week, but watch for EU bins; PSD3 compliance is nuking 'em. Cons: Steep markup, site lags during peaks, and yeah, occasional dead batches (vet with 5-card mins). Overall: Top-tier for volume carders, but pair with a good proxy rotator. If the warning spooks you, skip to Jerry.
  • Jerry (jerrys.vc): Underrated AF, and holding strong — no seizures or drama. Ref link (UANP5TZ03W1VB7VJ) hooks you up with 10% off first buy, which stacks with their loyalty tiers. Products: Fresh 24-48h bins only (US heavy, some CA/UK), low-decline focus (under 8% in my sheets). Add-ons like SSNs ($2-4) or AVS matches make it gold for ID theft plays. Prices: $6-10 for CVVs, $14-20 fullz. Features: Clean dashboard, mobile-friendly (rare in this space), and bin gen tool for custom hunts. Support via encrypted chat, quick resolutions. Live Rate: 92% on a 100-card flip mid-Oct — flipped into $800 clean via gift card drains. Cons: Smaller inventory (no bulk under 20 cards), light on non-VBV. Pro move: Use for targeted hits, like airline bookings. If OP's "superior" pick is this, I get it — efficiency over flash.
  • Stashpatrick: Solid hybrid market nod, but vague without a URL (guessing stashpatrick.market or a Tor mirror?). It's more vendor-driven than pure shop, with escrow on CC drops. From forum cross-talk, reliable for EU bins mixed with laundering tools. Prices: $7-12 via vetted sellers. Live Rate: ~82%, but escrow adds safety. Cons: 12-15% fees, slower (3-5 day delivery). Good backup if pure shops glitch.

Advanced Tips & Red Flags for '25 Survival​

  • Scam Radar Expanded: Beyond that vague Castro ding, watch for "private shop" marketing — per Dread, it's all dumps now, no true exclusives. Cross-vet on multiple forums; if a shop's absent from 2+ threads, ghost it. Recent busts (Bankomat.cc mirrors down) scream mirrors = traps.
  • OpSec Overhaul: Layered VPN (Mullvad) + Tor + RDP from clean VPS. Rotate user-agents per session — browsers leak like sieves. For testing: Low-risk merchants only (e.g., $20 Steam gifts). Encode physical dumps with X2 or 606X; quantum whispers mean CVV shelf-life's shrinking to weeks by '26.
  • Market Shifts: PSD3's live in EU — pivot to US/CA bins short-term. Crypto ramps are hot for laundering (use mixers like Tornado remnants), but watch IRS heat. Track monthly lists on Carder.market for domain flips.

What's your go-to for non-VBV bins right now? Anyone hit issues with Jerry's ref system lately? Drop details, let's keep this thread alive — better than the dead ones on Dread.
