On the downside they are crazy expensive at 5.95$ for 500$ card but can drain it all in 1 swipe (and that way I am still welcome at the Albertsons store for doing 6 swipes for a 3k Money Order!!).

Just wanted to check if Simon Mall Visa cards (or any similar variation with lower fees) are usable again at Albertsons or Walmart that does not restrict to 99$ drain per swipe and at least allows 500$/ swipe.
I feel the same way about buying InComm for Bluebird/Serve purposes, the more than doubling of fees is downright unpleasant but being able to load at CS/MC helps a lot. I'm also looking for if anyone got Simon Metas to work at WM cashier again...
