We would of course argue we have a legitimate purpose (earning miles)...but this use is, at a minimum, even if within the letter of the T&C, inconsistent with the spirit of what they are trying to provide.
I'm surprised we haven't seen more of people getting questioned at their retail bank for excessive depositing of MOs (that's also covered in KYC/AML 101).

I think i've read this entire thread twice and haven't come across this once: i've applied twice for the card, and both time have received after a few days the message:
"Unfortunately we are unable to fulfill your order at this time. The information that was provided in your account registration was either incomplete or could not be processed."
After calling and giving my order number the rep was unable to even find my original order for the card!
Has anyone else run into this? It's not crucial to my points strategy, but i would like the additional action...

Used my WF to feed the bird today at WMT, without standing in line or speaking to a single person.
So if one used UA Club to load $4500 on WF in a 30 day period (WF limit), it would earn 6750 miles. Fees are $13 ($5 load x 2, $3 account fee). Load to the bird to liquidate. $0.0019 per UA mile.
Compared to feeding beans to the bird: Assuming same UA Club card to get $4500 in beans would cost $35.55 in VR fees ($3.95 x 9), which is $0.0053 per UA mile.

How much is the limit to load to a BB via debit card at WMT? I heard $1000, though is it $5K in-store? Does that include any VR reloads?
If you live near a WF, $1000 can be taken out for free per calendar month.

That's not my question, although I guess my question is more apt for the Bluebird thread.
There is a limit to how much you can load a Bluebird via debit per month, I want to know that limit. Also if that limit coincides with the VR load limit.

As clearly stated in the T&C - $5,000, inclusive of any VR load.
