I thought I would alert members here to this. It will be everywhere in a matter of days, hours, or minutes. Take your pick.

You can thank the idiot FM. Someone else can link to the idiot if you want.

Bingo!

I flipped through it but the big benefit I saw was taxes but there's a $15,000 limit

"Account closings. Quite a few people have
reported using the NetSpend card’s debit
feature to quickly cash out after loading up
the card. Everyone I’ve heard from who has
done this has had their account closed.”
Quote from fm
So for spend requirements ymmv although I'm sure you can get around this

But since you don't feel the need to stick up for yourself I'm gonna assume you know what's really going on here and what will and won't work (does and doesn't get you shut down)

Dosent say anything about loading with CC. Do you mean using the debit card option?

@helpme, I think you're overestimating how many readers fm has. Also, only a sophisticated "big banks screwer" like you has any use for this netspend. For the average joe it looks like a useless tool. The fees are too high. I don't think it's gonna get killed. Btw, do you think fm killed the staples far shtick?

I don't get it, why is this any different than getting an amex gc?

This will have little to no effect on me. It will hurt members that ask for help via PM. Do you have any idea what FWF/FT will do with this? FM does not even understand what he posted. I guess idiot is too harsh of a word to use. Let’s change that to wannabe hero.

Was this a long time secret? Were FW's hitting this hard for a while?

Please stop thinking you know what other members want. The last thing I need is more PM's.

I believe that FM's post discussed this. Some stores would accept cc's to purchase the reload cards.

All: Wow, that was fast. My NetSpend account was shut down today. The irony is that I didn’t do anything that should have been construed as suspicious. I bought some pet food, movie tickets, etc. I didn’t pay bills, I didn’t visit an ATM, I didn’t make any large debit or credit payments. I’ll post more details in the morning.
