BIN looked same as usual but 2nd set of 4 digits are... 8033 ... and 10/29 exp date. I wish I saved package photo but it's bright yellow card.
My Safeways all suddenly switched to ice cream flavor cards this week, so I can't test this further, but maybe some of you still have this stock around at your local grocery store, check it out. Makes me curious now if Simon's would work as well
Yesterday at a WM south of BOS (my first MS trip in two years!) CS informed me they no longer allow multiple swipes to buy a MO. Therefore I bought one $98 MO (as I understand that you can't spend more than $99 from a Meta GC to purchase a money instrument, and the fee was $1.00 -- I didn't test to see if a higher amount would work). Then went to two different cashiers and loaded my AMEX BB's -- $250 on one and $275 on another. Both were one-swipe transactions to keep it simple, and there was no problem. I am wondering if I can load $500 from a Meta GC onto BB, in one swipe -- anyone know? ($500 is the daily BB load limit, I think.) BTW I am using old Metas. Thanks!
