I got shut down as well... but I had hints something was changing

I got shut down as well....

SUCKS. Now I will hurry on over to Plastiq to liquidate as much as I can since I have a full month of loads to do... Are there any other alternatives to bb or plastiq? I am kind of having a mini stroke. I called BB/Amex and they said they could not see anything flagged in my account or why I received that letter. I kept asking if I was hacked and they said my cash was safe with them.

Don't know. this pretty much sucks. I was getting a ton of flack from the various walmart as well. 1 store manager flat out refused a load and the others basically I loaded as quickly as possible because of something they said came out in the booklet in the past two weeks. So, this may be a walmart initiated event. And walmart is, at least in Houston, simply disallowing any load from a debit card unless your name is on it. It really sucks.

At least the cards I do have were bought at negative cost so unloading at Plastiq will not be at a loss, but not at the profit margin that it was.
