T-Mobile Visa Prepaid - Bluebird Competitor for MS! (May not load w/CC)
This is awesome, was announced today -
https://t-mobilemoneyservices.com/ The quick points - Load by buying a reload pack over $300 at a T-Mobile retailer (using CC) to get no fees to load and cash out with no fees via ATM. This might actually give Bluebird a MS run for its money! I think things just got good with this one, folks. Edit: Looks like the no monthly fees and free reloads are dependent on being a T-Mobile customer. If you're not, this might not work well for you. Edit 2: Reports are that at a Tmo store they'll only accept cash for the reload pack. Might not be great. Safeway is coming as a future option, maybe they'll offer CC reloads. Keep the thread alive and let's get creative, hopefully this pans out. |
Looks promising, where did you see that you could load with a cc in store?
Looks like there's a 2,500 daily load limit, but no mention of a monthly limit. |
sweet... Just ordered one.

Looks like there's a 2,500 daily load limit, but no mention of a monthly limit. How do I load money to my T-Mobile Card? The BEST way to have money loaded to your T-Mobile Card Account is through direct deposit. With direct deposit, you can have all or part of your pay, dividend, disability, and government checks (Social Security, tax refund, welfare, etc.) sent directly to your T-Mobile Card Account. There's no fee for loading your Card Account via direct deposit. You can also load your personalized card by purchasing a Reloadit Pack at thousands of participating retailers or at any Visa ReadyLink reload location. Load fees and limits vary by retailer.

I didn't even think of that (it's late). So T-Mobile stores are a 5x category on Ink?

Subscribed... and ordered my card. Will see if I order one for each family member.

Retail Purchase Fee: T-Mobile Wireless subscribers will not be charged a Retail Purchase fee if they purchase their Card at a participating T-Mobile store. T-Mobile Wireless subscribers who purchase their Card elsewhere will receive a credit to their Card Account equal to the purchase fee they paid for their Card within 30 days after they register their Card Account and provide their T-Mobile wireless phone number. Monthly Maintenance Fee: We will not charge a Monthly Maintenance Fee in the first Cycle. After that, we will charge the Monthly Maintenance Fee on the first day of each Cycle. However, we will not charge a Monthly Maintenance Fee in a Cycle if, during the preceding Cycle: (i) you value reloaded and/or direct deposited a total of $500.00 or more to your Card Account or (ii) you are a T-Mobile Wireless subscriber and you provide your T-Mobile Wireless phone number when you register your Card Account. Your first “Cycle” begins on the day you make the initial value load to your Card Account. Each subsequent cycle begins on the same date of the next month. As an example, if you make the first value load on March 15, then your first Cycle will begin on March 15 and end on April 14; your next Cycle will begin on April 15 and end on May 14; and so forth. Value Reload Fee: Each time you value reload $300.00 or more to your Card Account in a single transaction, you will receive a credit for any fee you paid. If you are a T-Mobile Wireless Customer and value reload your Card Account at a participating T-Mobile Wireless location, you will receive a refund at the register (and will pay no fee for your value reload). If you value reload your Card Account for $300.00 or more via another method, we will issue a credit to your Card Account in the amount of the fee you paid. Please note: Value reloads made from Reloadit Packs that have been placed in the Program Manager’s Reloadit “Safe” are not eligible for any fee credit. Seems the reload packs are not fee free... Question is, how will they let us reload it at the tmobile stores. This is a Bancorp issued product. |
I might bite. But hmm... Monthly fee.

Monthly Maintenance Fee T-Mobile Wireless Customer $0 Standard (Non-Wireless Customer) $5.00 per month Waived for cardholders who load $500 or more on the Card during the preceding monthly billing cycle None of us should have a problem meeting that requirement if loading is cheap or free. |
It's not asking for my SSN. I'm guessing no hard pull?
Edit- nvm it does ask for SSN. Anyone know if it does a hard pull? Can't really afford anymore at the moment. |
REloadit Packs are located at grocery stores-Vons/Safeway and Alberstons-in SoCal.

Whoops, NVM, ReLoadits can be used and the TMobile reload does not have a price I can see just yet... |
Dammit, was just coming to post this. I was all excited for something that the community can quickly ruin.
