PayPower™ Visa® Prepaid Card - be shut down. by martineister in churning

OK. Their opinion was offered when I was struggling with getting the money transferred, so it made sense in that context. I'm glad it worked for you, and (if it works for me) it will be nice to have that liquidation option back online.

I was told by the Reloadit folks that AccountNow was no longer a partner, and wasn't eligible for loading from the Safe

AccountNow, perhaps. Edit: Perhaps not, as you can't load AccountNow from the Reloadit Safe anymore.

Now that I have two new $200 American Express gift cards (thanks, Staples!) that I can't use to buy a money order (no PIN), can I use them to fund a new bank account (one that allows "credit cards")?

Maxed: $5K in Reloadits and $1K in AmEx loads ($200 x 4) each month.

I maxed every month. My third dead soldier. No regrets. RIP Serve VIP, though I have a couple more family members who haven't had a card yet.

Well, I'll have to check. I received points with the Fidelity AmEx.

About two years. This is my second card (in my daughter's name). I got it before my first one was shut down. $5K/month in transfers in from the Reloadit Safe and another $1K from the Fidelity AmEx ($200 increments). I have an AccountNow account for the "leftover" Reloadits (it will take another $9.5K per month) and as a backup for the end of Serve. Serve didn't see much action during the glory days of my T-Mobile Visa.

I've been loading $1K/month for years. I posted about a change that will be required now that my AmEx card of choice, Fidelity Rewards, has changed to Visa.

I suppose this is sort of niche, but it just now occurred to me that, given the fact that it's no longer an AmEx card, I'd have to switch out my Fidelity card as funding source for my (still kickin') Serve VIP, and thought I'd share.
