I think $500 prepaid would work too. I can do about $5000 a month just with bill payments.

Do most prepaids allow bill payments? I figured they just were good for use like a credit or debit card?

After reading the numerous posts coming in this morning, I went out an hour ago to my local ice cream shop. Decent number of cones (23 in total) still available in the typical two areas of the store. I went to the counter and paid for the transaction with my IB. Went through fine, just like in the recent past. Perhaps I just got really lucky...?

Add one more to the list of people that have been told they are pulling these from the stores. Manager said they got a memo today, but it didnt say why. Bummer.
