Add me to Spend Down mode list on 1 of 3 cards.
Data points- Main differences between one that got SD and other 2 still active is balance is $4500 vs <$3000 and last load ($2.5k on each of 3 ) was 12/31 on SD vs before 12/23 on others.

Little update on my 2 cards:

1) Online access works, spend down mode, pulled $2k WM MO successfully (1 purch.)

2) No online access, unknown mode, pulled $3k WM MO successfully (1 purch.)

Is it no longer possible to order a new MVD card online? I can't find the link on the website. It this just me, or has anyone else had this issue?

Was planning on signing up for my 3rd account today, before the shoe inevitably drops on my first two accounts.

With these new soft limits I speculate that MVD is wanting to be more like BUXX - i.e. typical $1k limit.

you people jumping ship with multiple mvd cards, and unloading them all seperately. you might wanna consider transfering the balance on each of the cards to one card. there is no fee to do that. you can save a few clams that way, since buying multiple MOs or whatever costs lots of fees.

I found the link, though I think it took a few more clicks than usual. But, after filling out the application, it went to a screen that said that my identification information could not be verified online and that I would have to call in to apply. This did not happen on either of my previous 2 cards.

I wonder if MVD has put an end to multiple sign ups? At least for people who have been "flagged."

As of about 8:00 AM EST today, the link was right on the main page, where it always is. I still see it now, but when i click it, nothing happens.

I've been getting this error for about 2 weeks now in an attempt to get a 3rd card. Glad it's not just me. My pure speculation is that they are now allowing less than 3 cards per person, or not allowing any online signups, or some other nefarious, unannounced plan.

Well at least now I know I might as well stop trying. I suppose I could call in to try to get the third card. But I'll probably wait to get my "on hold" status resolved on Card1 before I do anything. I'm still waiting out my 24-72 "business hours." Will be happy to report back once/if I do call in.

My other accts are still active status, so i don't think it's related to those. I'll also report back if i make the call. I was patiently waiting, hoping it would go away after the recent spate of shutdowns.

Edit: Scratch that. Accts now in some unknown status. Debit transactions didn't work. Fax sent.

I didn't find any thread for OneVanilla so I was wondering if OneVanilla (not myVanilla) can be used like any other MetaBank or U.S. bank Visa card to get a money order from Walmart? I tried to set up a pin for it but it says whatever pin you use for the first time will be your pin.

Definitely you can. I have in the past used 2 OneVanilla cards to get MO.
The fee is $4.95 vs $5.95 or up for the other variety of prepaid visa gcs.

Anyone used Onevanilla for Billpay? any limits?

max four swipes per pay.

Cash advance this morning. Locked out of internet and phone access this afternoon. Is that a record - one single VR load and unload?

How are they exploiting someone who chooses to use the product and pay the fees? They could charge $5 per transaction and ban anyone who doesn't generate $50/month in fees if they want, as they should be able to. No one is forced to use the product nor pay fees that aren't disclosed.

Not saying it applies in your case, but I wanted to remind everyone that if your login/PW stops working, be sure that you don't have a negative balance before you assume you've been shut down for other reasons. When I first got my cards, I didn't realize that if I loaded $500 and withdrew it that the fee would make my balance negative and I'd be put on hold for that reason. Once I learned, I've been sure to always keep at least a few bucks in the account.
