it did work
I got 3 last year and used them until they started charging the monthly fee.
At the time I got points for *wood reloads as well as MR reloads....pull $200 per week, per card, out via ATM for $3.50 ($2 fee from amex, $1.50 from grocery store ATM)...did it 8 times...so 4800 points...fees ate up the $25 per card bonus, but it ended up costing: $9 for 4800 points and a slight pain running to the ATM every week to cash out. They sent me offers for it again, but I'm not going to bother, expecially if no points can be earned. Of course you could order 3, get the $25 bonus on each (they had a $50 offer for a while) and just cash it out....total invested $150 ($25 initial setup and $25 reload on 3 cards)...total profit after a couple of weeks- $64.50, after withdrawal fees.
