After all the BB shutdowns in Jan, I decided to get a t-mobile card yesterday to reduce my use of the BB.
1. Couldn't find a t-mobile card in any grocery stores (Philly area),
2. T-mobile couldn't process my card application online, and
3. I tried about 15 Acme and Giant grocery stores looking for reloadits and couldn't find any that didn't have "cash only" printed on them. At one store, there was a huge stack of them (without "cash only") but when I went to the register, they wouldn't scan. Manager tried 4 different cards and said they weren't "in the system." No idea what that means but I was turned away. That's before I even specified whether I'd be paying with cash or credit. I didn't bother trying to buy any that said "cash only" because I couldn't get the T-mobile card anyway.
Good news is that Kate works at one of my local WMs and the cashiers are all great about loading gift cards as debit.
