curious.

Does anyone have two WFPP cards and able to load more than $4500 per month combined? I had one card and did "Add a Card" from my WFPP account. I tried loading my new WFPP card for the first time and it says maximum reloads reached.
I recall people on this thread saying they were able to load more than $4500 on two cards per month. I'm now thinking I should not have added the card from my original account. I think my two WFPP cards are sharing the $4500 monthly limit.
If you have been able to load more than $4500, did you add the card from within your original account? Thanks.

I loaded my other card on 2/23, so will try again on 3/11 (16 days later) to see if I can load this card.
Be interested if we see similar data points.

Just logged in - same issues. I have 2 cards. I'm a few days past my 15 day schedule and got "maximum loads reached" when trying to load $2495. Last load was $1995 on Feb 16, so I am meeting the $4.5K per month limits.
I loaded my other card on 2/23, so will try again on 3/11 (16 days later) to see if I can load this card.

Got it today. Last BB reloads (about $1200) were yesterday. I have 2 cards on 2 separate accounts, and the newer account was shut down. I still have $500 on there that I was going to save for an ATM withdrawal, so that'll be fun trying to get that money back. I can't log in to that account.

Yeah. I mean, no fault of theirs, I didn't really conceal activity. I have no time chasing around grocery stores to do small transactions ... I'd rather do the 2-3 ATMs per month and load Bluebird with pin transactions. If they don't like me doing that, it's not worth my time for a few thousand points a month.
The whole "fraudulent" activity though ... Use CC to load WF to refill BB to write a check to repay student loan? Fraudulent? Sure ....

by chance, did your card 'arrive in the mail' on 2/18 with the loaded amount of 2500, or, did you order the card and load it on 2/18 with the amount of 2500 and it arrived a week or so later?
most people order the card with a load (of some amount) when the originally order the card.

Thanks to those experiencing shutdowns for posting their data points.^

Add me to the list of shutdown - had the account 6months - mix of regular spend+ATM withdrawals and monthly max loads = "closed"
IMO, not worth the efforts, other than to meet a min spend - now, waiting for 20-30!! business days for balances to be refunded via check.

WF sets the load limits & the limits on the ATM's and the transaction amounts. So, as long as you stay within those limits they should not care...hmmmmm (geez--makes one wonder).
I am sure they would like to see many ATM's for $20 each. However, they charge the load fee and the monthly fee.
