Anyway, my DD's limited income will be a waste of time for her to load small deposits on the card weekly so I will load via VR for her after she opens the BB account. So I will MS as a tool for the miles back.

Is there any reason for an arching brow because this lady specifically suggested doing payment method via BB this way? Risk? She is a debt collector, at the end of the day.
there might be some risk in seeing a bb account of someone with very little money having a 500 deposit. i would stay clear of this there are other ways to MS. unless you are giving the money as a gift i would not comingle funds with one whom has a past due debt, they may accuse her of hiding money by giving it to you and this might jeoperdise the repayment plan.
