GD can't 'block your moneypaks' from funding any prepaid accounts, but, they can block 'specific' prepaid accounts from being funded by moneypaks.
When GD shut down my GD Prepaid card, I started loading MPs onto Serve. Thought that since GD was out of GD's control, all would be well -- wrong. GD obviously maintains a database of prepaid card numbers, and amount funded. After loading $3K over the course of 3 months, GD prevented me from loading to my Serve account. Serve account itself was fine (at the time), but, GD simply blocked my ability to fund it using their product. I could use the MPs on other prepaid cards (for a while) if I wanted, or, probably would have worked to AMEX and say my Serve card was lost/stolen and gotten myself a new card number. Of course all this just adds extra effort... Thus MoneyPak spending is not very scalable in comparison to VR.
Not saying GoBank is a bad means to manufacture spending, but, it is GD and they have EXTREMELY low tolerance thresholds as to what they count as 'intended use' of their products.
