So once I get the green dot, how hard is it to get rid of? Could I buy a MO with it? I assume I could pay an online bill with it. What's the activation process like? It srill seems like this could be a worthwhile, relatively easy transaction to avoid paying full price for gas.
My understanding is GD are trigger happy with shutdowns, so I suggest sticking to organic spend (aka avoid MO's).
Also there are posts that GD run the backend on a whole load of other products/services so a shutdown hits much more than just the GreenDot card itself
