I did search this (long!) thread but didn't find a specific answer... has anyone faced any issues paying a credit card using bill pay on bluebird? Any thoughts on if there could be any issues paying Chase or Amex or Citi?

Citi works but if you have auto payments it will still deduct your last statement amount when the auto pay schedule rolls around. Chase systems will compensate for the payment from BB and not trigger if the payment is same size or larger than auto pay amount.

Citi definitely would not. However any double payment credit balance is refunded upon request. Citi can even ACH you the refund without fee. All can be done on SM but be prepared to get some idiotic canned replies at first as if they do not read your message.

Does anyone know the procedure to load a bluebird using a debit card at WM? Can I go to any of the cashiers?
What would be the easiest way to get cash out of BB w/o paying the ATM fees. Can I just withdraw it from bluebird straight into my checking account month after month?

Keep in mind the $1000/day limit and $5000/month limit is shared between swipe reloads and VR reloads.
Also, keep in mind the limits placed on your debit card. E.g., the WF Prepaid card only allows transactions up to $600, but you can do multiple transactions.
Because you can utilize free debit reloads at Walmart .... don't have to worry about VR availability or factoring in the $3.95 fee per $500.

I've paid Citi a few times with this and never had any problems.
