Why shouldn't this work? What's the difference between sending a check or doing an ACH transfer? Seems like less work on blueberry's part.
I'm not sure I'd view having an ACH transfer request posted to my BB account as an automatic violation of the T&C. But of course...having people do tests like this and reporting back is how we learn.
Keep us apprised, @Mrgolfer21.

I did just login to BB and now the two deposits are showing up, which they weren't earlier this morning.
I'm going to do a test move of funds from my BB account to PP and see how long it takes.
I would NOT recommend that people move money from BB to their other checking account via PP, that I'm sure will get you shut down by PP.

Btw, i thought reloadit recharges were cash only purchases. Guess you must have found somewhere where they take cards. I have one vendor near me, gonna check them out.
Do you add reloadit packs to your paypower on paypowers website or is it done at the counter? Thanks

Yes, some cashiers are willing to take CC.
I load ReLoadIt pack at PayPower web.

Cool, thanks. Just checked and I guess the recurring monthly fee of $5.95 + $4 reload fee makes sense if you can use the bird to pay off large and consistent monthly balances.

I tried purchasing a walmart MO with my bb card, transaction did not go through. It worked perfectly fine with my NS card.

vanilla card and bluebird?
I’ve read on a blog about hos the Ink bold could be used to purchase vanilla cards which in turn could work with the bluebird card to pay mortgage and other bills. How exactly does this work? I suspect that you would use your ink bold or plus card to maximize spend by going to office depot to buy a reloadable vanilla card?
Then you would use the vanilla card to loan to the bluebird account? Then sign up your mortgage for auto debit linking it to the bluebird account?
With the vanilla card, do I need to go to office depot each month to purchase more gift cards or could I just use my bold card to load more $$ into it?
Any details or links would be appreciated.
