I load/send/withdraw in the course of about 5 minutes. Definitely looks more suspicious, but limits my exposure to about $5-10 at any given time

Has anyone been getting PPMC refunds in the promised 5-7 biz days? I'm still waiting for mine and it has been a ridiculously long month. First time requesting the refund, so not sure why there is a holdup. Could it be that they have connected the fact that I have a PP account?

I haven't been able to find any of the cards at Rite Aid this month. All of the stores still have the $3.95 shelf (peg) tag. I asked the manager of the most recent store when they would be getting more. His response: "We're done. That's it." Kinda makes me wonder if they were asked to pull them all, as I've been in some obscure locations without any inventory.

Anyone know if the Register loading is up and running, and more importantly, can you use credit cards anywhere?

I came to post asking about this. I hit almost two dozen CVS, Walgreens, amd Rite Aids over a 60 mile span and found exactly zero cards. I think everyone is done.

I just found out they're done. CVS and Rite Aid are now on the new PayPal "Register Load" cards and arent restocking, and have been told to pull them.

I haven't been to my go-to CVS in a couple weeks, they had about 10 cards and always sell to me with CC. Has the transition to register loads finalized? Any datapoints on using CC for that yet?

Something interesting...2 weeks ago on the PPMC website, they gave instructions on how to use the PPMCC to reload at the register. I looked today and it appears they have since removed that info from the website. The only thing I can find now is the reload VIA green dot MP. It says it "coming soon" however the procedure will all be cardless. https://www.moneypak.com/paypal/Index.aspx
I wonder if this will be replacing PPMCC entirely...

I checked stores in 4 counties in metro ATL and only found several cards in one WGS.
I was told in a RA store that they were not ordering them anymore.
