I got an email saying that all Visa card operations are not available at this moment, due to urgent communication from WaveCrest, what does this mean for my card and the balance on it?

This is pretty bad. I've read somewhere else that WaveCrest was notified by Visa to close all prepaid Visa cards. And this affects most Bitcoin cards.

Since Wirex was announcing last year they'll have again cards for worldwide use, I hope that this means they work on a deal with another card issuer. Maybe WaveCrest will allow at least to spend the existing funds, because else it's bad and unprofessional and it'll get difficult for Wirex.

Edit: I guess I hoped too much from WaveCrest. I am mad now.
Edit2: BitPay is in the same situation, they've sent a well-written e-mail to their customers, you can find it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2597897.msg27517895#msg27517895
