I will nominate this for the most depressing post of the year.

They want copies of my reload cards (last 2 per load) and my last receipt, SS Card, and Driver's license before they will release card for a 48 hr window. My alternative is to have them mail me a check. She said they have been working with the credit card issuers who have requested these shutdowns and they said they are shutting down tons of them every single day and in the past week they are shutting down any account that does not have normal activity. She said basically, there is a daily review of every account ongoing right now linked by the SS(which is why all 3 got shut down, and not just the 1 use) and there is a massive shutdown effort in effect. Also, She said they are working with CVS, who is their partner with the reload cards to hardcode against credit card purchases of this product starting in the very near future. So, I guess the game is over for me and many others.
