Sounds like we're 'suspicious' and that's why we were cut off.

My wife and I are planning to talk to the store manager tomorrow and put all the cards on the table, explain we buy prepaid debit cards with our credit cards to get miles and points, then buy MOs with the prepaid GCs and deposit the MOs into our checking account with which we pay off our credit card bills, with the goal to travel with our family to Europe / India using the miles. At this point I don't have anything to lose, so I figure I should just go for broke and explain how we're 100% legit and not doing money laundering.

FWIW, my wife and I are the only MSers in town.

Any input on this plan? I have backup WMs but they're about an hour away, so not feasible for daily runs, but enough to liquidate remaining GC stock.
I would try it also. I talked to 2 managers recently and one store wanted nothing to do with it and the other told me to call MoneyGram to try to get the 4 swipe policy back.
