Can you buy vs/mc gift cards with these AFT cards? Thinking it might be cheaper than withdraw charge and ATM fees.
but then you have to find a way to liquidate those vs/mc cards. for you it might be cheaper. for me, no. |

Thanks...I'm a bit cautions with AMEX doing MS so wondering if this is the case with AFT? Is it more liberal than traditional AMEX cards? I'm assuming it is since it's a reload-able card not a true credit card.
But in theory with the clear rules defined by the issuer there should not be too many problems. |

I'm having a lot of trouble setting up the account online. Every browser I use crashes into a "webpage not loadable".
It let me create a user name and password but after I enter details for the card and hit next for step two it crashes. No browser seems to work regardless of cookie deletion. Any advice for getting this setup online? |

Been to two Target stores just outside of Boston and both said that not only did they not have the Amex for Target cards, but hadn't had them in quite some time. Rather desperate to find one that does, as WM is a relatively inconvenient ride away via public transport...

You may be having at least one of the same problems I did: A) you need to use a different username than your Amex CCs, and B) the security code is the 3 digit one off the back (never knew why Amex still had these), not the Amex 4 digit one from the front.
I'm pretty sure mine used the 4 digit security code from the front of the card when i set it up a few days ago (not the three digit one on the back). |

No luck in the East Bay either, yet. I can confirm that the following 3 locations (also listed as participating on target.com) *do not* carry them - just so you don't waste time visiting them like I did yesterday:
2800 Dublin Blvd Dublin, CA 94568 7200 Amador Plaza Rd Dublin, CA 94568 2610 Bishop Dr San Ramon, CA 94583 If I find a store nearby today or tomorrow that sells them I will update.

I have no idea what Serramonte is like, but I did finally find one tonight in ........ville, San Jose (it was a longass drive and maybe overkill - anywhere, San Jose probably is?).
They're not kidding around when they market this product for the low end - neon Scion emblem seemed to be the talk-of-the-parking lot this evening.

Sorry, didn't know some words are off limits. "but I did finally find one tonight in [redacted], San Jose."
Not that I disagree on the definition of the great city of San Jose :D |
Picked one up in LA. Must be 6 checkouts with them.
Excited to keep on MSing. When setting up the account today, it was the 4 digit code off the front. |
Does anyone know of a surcharge-free ATM in Brooklyn or Manhattan, aside from the previously mentioned one in the 50s? Looking for something more commute friendly...

I currently have one AFT card. I'll be adding a 2nd. What is the best way to max out the $5k cycle? I can load the card I currently have with $1k. Then buy my second adding $500 correct? Or will that mess up the cycle? Should buy a new tempt card with $500 and load the card I currently have with $500?

Great question! If only there was a wiki that explained in detail the optimal load pattern...
And still we get these questions. There is no hope. |

Your question wasn't very specific. You can load the cards in any pattern you want, bearing in mind that it's very convenient if you can load in 3 trips - 2k, 2k, 1k. So, without knowing days/dates of the cards, I'd say just make sure that loads for both cards drop off on the same days. |
