Someone else bought one while I was at Walgreens. I turned around expecting to see a FT, but instead I saw a man pulling cash out of his wallet (or at least I thought it was cash, I dont use it myself).

I believe it was the same game, I have no particular love (nor hate) for the Wildcats of AZ, guess I'm indifferent, but always good to see USC lose, particularly when I'm in San Diego 
.
I'm actually happy Amex is advertising Bluebird. Hopefully anything we do stays more under the radar that way.

I agree that the more non-points earning accounts there are, the less likely it is for the program to disappear.

If you notice on the OD racks there is the "Call this number if this product is out of stock" or something along those lines. It lists a 1-888 number and the skew number. Has anyone tried to order more on behalf of the store? I called had maneuvered through the option menu however I was provided an answering machine.
Does anyone know an OD/Office Store manager and know how this answering machine/restocking service works? Can we just call and leave the skew/Store number and say we need more?
lol

Yeah, that's what I learned tonight as well. Was told that a couple times a week they receive a small box via Fed Ex which contains various prepaid cards. They have no idea which ones until they open it. They have no control over the specific type of cards or when they arrive. In the case of Vanilla, they haven't received any in several weeks.
