Still, having this in addition to Bluebird(s) could make those walmart trips more productive and less frequent.

I know that many people have been shut down by Green Dot for "abuse" (from their warped perspective) of Green Dot-sponsored reloadable prepaid cards, but have many people been banished from GoBank? 

As a point of comparison, I have read little about people who have been shut down by BlueBird.  If Green Dot is really trying to compete with BB with GoBank, they might take a more lenient attitude towards more frequent loading (which is what gets people tossed from the reloadable prepaid side of their business).

Have you guys had any experience with the silver card from AccountNow? I am reading that the The load limits are $1,500 per day and $9,500 per month on a rolling 30-day basis using Green Dot but I am not sure if the way to load this type of account is with MoneyPaks or Greendot Prepaid?

here is the link form accountnow: https://www.accountnow.com/services/deposit-center.aspx

Account now is the same company as GoBank?  Or is it their competition?
They can both be loaded with greendot moneypacks?

[Zevwolf]

It's not the same company       both could be loaded with greendot moneypack

So I know I can be loading Bluebird with 5k in vanilla reloads a month and I can load my AccountNow with 9.5k in GreenDot MoneyPak every month (just clarifying) so what is the monthly limit on GoBank? Do they issue checkbooks to their users?

i signed up for this card but in the end of the process, it asked me to do an initial  deposit so they can mail the card. It had option of Debit card transfer load, I tried with my visa gift  debit card but it didn't work. Money pak card is not sold with CC.

Looks like they won't mail me the card since I couldn't do the initial deposit.

I was asked for an initial deposit when signing up as well. I used my bank account but never showed an amount that would need to be deposited. Will they just take out a deposit of their liking?

GoBank is not by invitation anymore, meaning anyone can signup. They are also refunding the MoneyPak fee of up to 4.95 for the initial deposit.

They never got back to you? Maybe call them?

No.

They said (written somewhere when i applied for an invitation) that they will send an invitation at some point when they are offering more spots in the program.

I will give them a call. Not really pressured as i have a few BlueBirds i am working with now and AP as well.

Just signup directly. I downloaded the app and signed up. I messaged them on FaceBook and they told me they aren't sending invites because you no longer need an invite to sign up.
