I just went to CVS and was told they now have 1000.00 per day limit on all pre paid cards.

Bluebird account is under review
Got the following email. Serve is the header but I don't have a Serve account anymore. I recently deposit money from my wife's Serve account to my account and my wife's account is also under review. I transferred $800 over 2 days ago.

question about filling in "payee nickname " for "pay bill"
I am assuming this would be my name as it appears on my mortgage Payment. Is this correct?

Nickname means something you put in so you remember this payee is for what bill.
For example, Citi AA1, Citi AA2 - these are Nicknames.
I dont know if your name would be on the payment. Your account definitely would.
A paper check payment would show payer's name and address. Not sure about electronic payment.

Will be interesting to see if there are more reports of BB accounts being "suspended".

When did you close the Serve account? What shows up when you log into BB?

IIRC, it came into effect in March, but clearly few stores follow it. CVS has long only allowed $1k purchases, but I've never been told that it was per day.

It's likely the federal regulation regarding open-loop prepaid cards (vs closed loop like an Itunes or Sears card). In theory, nobody should be able to buy more than $1k/day

No clue. When I read the release, it sounded pretty toothless. I suspect it's more of a "well, we did something" type legislation than one anyone really expects to have an effect.

I have only done 1 bill pay via BB to pay my mortgage, it went smoothly and quickly.
I think it is electronically, so it went through faster than paper check.
However, I dont know why you want to do bill pay to your own address, i would thing this will trigger red flag all over....

So I decided to send the first check to my own address and give it to her in person and explain that the rent will be paid like this from now on.
