Assume you've tried different ATMs? Some ATMs have their own limits. Try the Woody one at WM, those have $500 limits too (although 2.5 fee).

It's always been 2 free each calendar month.
Only tried WF ATMs but tried at 4 different branches, keep getting the same result. The 2.50 fee doesn't do it for me ... would rather keep it to ~$1 per $500.

I see nothing that says any account under review, or lock, but, the ability to load funds is not present (or it's moved some where that I can't see it). I still see the option to order a new card.
I did NOT have any failed load attempts. Merely entered the password incorrectly a few times then got a password reset (if this is even related).

In the end was it really the too many failed loads? I recall later you mentioned the ability to order new cards, did that work out? Just the old card locked up? Did you get the money out of it?

I ordered two new cards for $1000 each, then the orders got cancelled and I called WF and they were clueless and said, "It must be because your old account got closed." and I replied with "So you're telling me because of an honest mistake I'm banned for life?" and he just kept repeating "Is there anything else I can help you with sir?"
So that's my sad story.

That is a sad story. I'd wait a couple months and then try again. Perhaps the old card takes a while to clear out of the system or something.

My history with the WF card is I got my first card and put a total of $4500 on it in Nov, then loaded it all to my BB over a period of weeks. Then I got some new SW cards in Jan and had too many failed loads because I didn't know the CA limit on them. Account was closed and put under security review. WF ended up calling me and said my account was closed perma and to order a new card if I wanted one.

Can you load the WF PP card with a Vanilla Visa GC from OD? I have two $500 GCs left over from OD since Walgreens decided to go cash only on the Vanillas. I figured the GCs would load onto the WF Prepaid since the GC is a Visa debit card but it wouldn't take it. Sorry if this has been answered, I did search the thread before posting.

Yup, $500 GCs from OD won't work. I registered the zip and it allowed me to add the GC, but trying to load $495 failed. I then tried lower amounts and all failed. I think it has to do with the way WF seems to pull from your CA limit, and you can't CA those GCs.
