However, there are many legit Bitcoin exchanges that have started accepting credit & debit cards as a payment method.
Here are some of the popular & legit Bitcoin websites where you can use your debit or credit card to buy bitcoins. I have tested these all myself.
1.Cex.io
2.CoinBase
3.Coinmama
4.Bitit
5.Wirex
Note: most of these exchanges require KYC. Choose an exchange with no KYC policy in order not to waste your time in vain. That's it.
In general, this is a starting requirement by the card companies to KYC all the customers when dealing with crypto related businesses.
Unless of course, a company is hiding the fact of being a part of cryptocurrency environment.
Yes, you are right. If you are ok with KYC, choose Coinbase. By the way, I like Huobi also, it has
some extra features for trading.
If you don't like KYC, one of the best places is Localbitcoins. It has so many options of payment, including face to face meeting with a supplier.
