You should probably read the thread on the ST Delta sky miles debit card.
This card has it's own fee's. So, while loading at WM may be no charge, I wouldn't exactly call it 'free' (from what I recall reading).
Again, I believe this card has it's own fee's. and, IF i am incorrect, I am certain someone who uses this card will be along soon to correct me.

Has anyone tried an international ATM withdraw with their BB card? Going overseas this week and BB has no foreign exchange but wondering about the foreign ATMs.

Yes, many times. BB charges a $2 ATM fee overseas. The foreign bank sometimes charges an ATM fee and sometimes does not. It is up to the laws of the foreign country and the policy of the foreign bank (St. George's Bank charges $2 and SunCorp Bank charges NO ATM fee in Australia). The foreign exchange rate is determined by BB, UNLESS the ATM gives you the option to have your withdrawal charged in US dollars (like ANZ Bank does in Australia). If you are asked to be charged in US dollars, DO NOT select YES - the foreign bank will charge you at a less advantageous rate than BB will.

I do not have this card and have not used it. However, I would suggest.......

In my opinion, the $75 fee is WELL worth it, but you also must have a checking account at SunTrust Bank. You can bank for free if you meet SunTrust Bank's minimum balance requirements. I use the card at Walmart and also pay my Federal estimated income taxes with it.

I'm sorry if this has been discussed before but is it possible for me to have 2 BB accounts? If so can I load $5k/month in each account with a debit card at Walmart? Thanks.

No, because it is linked to your SSN. However, you can get one for yourself and one for your spouse -- and load $5K per month on each.

When are VR's delivered?
Has anyone tried to track what day/date VR's are delivered to their local CVS'? If you have, would you be willing to share any frequency data - do VR's arrive weekly/every-other-week/once-a-month?
I stumbled upon some data, purely by accident, that gave me a couple of leads. These may be a coincidence but I figure I can invest a little time to try and figure this out. If the deliveries are at random or irregular intervals, this "project" will go nowhere, but we'll see.
