1. If you want to use at SCO it's best to keep using your temp card for as long as you can - even after you receive your permanent card. Do not register the permanent card until your temp card no longer works.

2. It's definitely possible to use the permanent card at the SCO. Yes. I know two people who have done it, at least in the past. Keep in mind that the secret to using SCO is the chip on the card is not read (the temp card doesn't have a chip), but rather the magnetic strip is read. Since the permanent card has a chip it keeps us from using it at SCO, BUT somehow/some way people have used devices like this to manipulate the magnetic strip on their permanent cards so it can be used at SCO: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=magnetic+...ent_2_0_recent

I don't know the ins-and-outs of how to do the magnetic strip manipulation, I never pursued it as I first heard about it after I had already been banned by One so I can't open a new account even if I wanted to.
How can you reload at SCO? When you do the initial load, you scan a bar code.
