They want copies of my reload cards (last 2 per load) and my last receipt, SS Card, and Driver's license before they will release card for a 48 hr window. My alternative is to have them mail me a check. She said they have been working with the credit card issuers who have requested these shutdowns and they said they are shutting down tons of them every single day and in the past week they are shutting down any account that does not have normal activity. She said basically, there is a daily review of every account ongoing right now linked by the SS(which is why all 3 got shut down, and not just the 1 use) and there is a massive shutdown effort in effect. Also, She said they are working with CVS, who is their partner with the reload cards to hardcode against credit card purchases of this product starting in the very near future. So, I guess the game is over for me and many others.

How would someone at MVD know your intent? How would they know that the motivation of your loading and unloading was "to earn miles" Maybe it's to free up money for a low cost cash advance?

Sounds fishy?

Wow, all this info sounds like utter bunk. If CVS wanted to shut down credit card purchase of VRs, they wouldn't need to work with anyone to do so. The Green Dot cards CVS sells are already hard coded to not allow credit card for purchase. Changing VRs to similar is almost certainly a simple recoding. Almost everything she told you is so laughable that I wouldn't believe it.

True, Credit card companies, Banks, MVD, CVS every company involved is complicit, we are just the facilitators! Regulators are hounding on them to close, not because they need our D/lc or SS copies that's what happened to WF PP.
They want copies of my reload cards (last 2 per load) and my last receipt, SS Card, and Driver's license before they will release card for a 48 hr window.

I refused to fax my D/Lc. had to wait 3 weeks FDIC and CFPB to be active again(today)!
What is the normal activity? the under banked? In that case they have to compete all the cards on the rack

Also the fact that CVS just recently increased their limit to $5k per day with an ID scan doesn't seem to coincide with this info.

I've tried all day to sign up for a permanent card but the system is unable to authenticate my information. Tried calling the number provided on the website but CSR couldn't even find my application in their system. Very unusual.

Assuming you're not BS'ing, then it would seem a check is the better course of action.

What did you elect?

Well, if they are working to block CC purchases, they sure are taking their sweet time. I brought home two more from CVS just an hour ago :D.
