That's what confuses me to most about my problem with the BOA payment. I set up a car payment and bestbuy card payment (manually) just as I did with BOA... Each of those posted within two days as if they were converted to be electronic transfer. BOA is still not showing anything yet.

He did mumble something about "I mean, I'm sure you're not". He didn't put on his supercape and mask.

I have been paying credit card bills & mortgage in BB without any problems at all so far. If you are concerned, make a $1 payment towards your credit card bill & see if it posts correctly/on time. I still have not used the ATM to get money out, laying low under the Chase radar. I have used BB to send a paper check payable to my wife a few times. So far so good...BB is awesome. I have a feeling when AMEX gets most market share they will "enhance" us all with higher fees!

Has anyone tried paying a Florida Power and Light (FPL) bill? I tried to setup a bill payment for them but it won't accept my zip code associated with my account number. Tried both 5 digit and 9 digit zip code. It'd be nice to use Bluebird for that.

It's not your zip code they are looking for, you need to put in their zip code.

technically it doesnt matter what you use the BB funds for. the important issue is buying VRs with a MSR CC. you could even use the BB funds to pay off the MSR CC if you wanted to.

I saw 3 CVS stores in my areas with full stacks of VR, so I think I should have no problem getting those. I just stop by those three stores to make a couple of VR purchases for my two new southwest cards and those were all GONE! It was only one week! I guess just one or two persons who did this and they went around and cleared out at every single store!
I even asked a supervisor and he said that a lot of people bought these yesterday! Go figure. I just need to buy these to fulfill my new card spending, not over crazy about cracking up the points!

unbelievable, these reports drive me crazy. I'd beat up and rob the dirt bag that buys over 2 VR in one shot. I should setup hidden cameras in cvs. I make my own micro wireless hidden cams, would be perfect for this.

spoiled beans
This infamous CVS store in Atlanta was completely out of beans today except for two cards conveniently located at eye level. I was on my way to the register but thought to check the back of the cards. It is probably hard to tell from the pictures, but in person, one can easily see that someone had tampered with the pin cover. I left without a purchase.

scratch off and redeem immediately after buying before leaving the store.
