Did they change?
Thanks.
Are you sure its not just an alert that happens for any amount you buy on a reloadit? Worse case you should load at least $300 to be able to get the reload fee back as a test. My guess is that any amount for a reloadit will trigger an alert which I believe began on Mar 1st. I was still able to buy Rlits around end of Feb. Yes things have changed since then since Safeway has a sudden interest in updating their POS system to use the chip reader to help prevent fraud. And because of that they have put some limitations at least for now on gift cards until the chip reader thing is resolved.
The way I see it, if I can't even load $300 then I won't be able to get my reload fee back from Tmobile which makes this all pointless. So I would say try buying $300 and see if that works. If that works from there you can test $350 or $400.
