Yes, the spend down mode is shown where it says Card Status.

I have been able to load cards and do CAs from the cards that are in spend down mode.

Does anyone know how long spend down mode lasts for?

How many times they lock up (login access) your account before total/absolute shut down (close and send U the balance)?

New update. After passing the latest AA on the 3rd card I went to log in and accidentally logged in to one of my old card accounts that had been shutdown in Spring. And what do you know they have been reactivated and sitting there with a negative $1.95 fee sat on it.

Lesson - go check your old accounts.

Now I just need to request a new card as I shredded the old one.

Welcome Zgirl to FT.

45K rolling year, or for 2013 and the clock resets? Anyone?

Anyone exceed these limits?

Csr also confirmed there is no time limit on spend down at least in this mode.

And what was your pattern, if you don't mind sharing?

What is the window then?

You are able to log in & see this? I'm in 'spend down' on one of my cards, but still can't log in at all. This, after I sent in my docs, jumped through their hoops and waited 3 weeks for the review.

I got reviewed long after I passed $45k. More like $85k.

How have you taken to liquidating funds?

Datapoint: I have 3 cards with them. I load about $3K/month on each card (each load was $1K/7-10 days). After last load of $1K on one of these cards, I couldn't login anymore on that account (I can on other two). Called today and was told that "bank" requested to converted this account to "unregistered" account that means I cannot use it anymore as debit. I will not get on-line access to my account either.

Is it a new policy? I read here that their's policy is to ask for ID, SSN and VR's receipts to unlock account.

So many smart, clever and intelligent people here but no one can figure out what the lady MVD really wants for sure......plenty of opinions though!

Since I have maxed out the Bluebird and Serve for the month on deposits, I have dusted off the Permanent Vanilla Debit card, and cannot remember all the details. I remember that I could CA at Chase, but I do not remember if I can do any bill pay, and there is nothing on the site about fees or free ATM withdrawals, only that the limit is $400 a day for a withdrawal. Needs a wiki at the top for terms!! Read about 50 pages so far before thinking about loading VR's and looks like I can only load $500 a day?
