Ive only gotten mine @ CV and loaded $500 each time |
Ok, so given my enthusiasm I just ran out to CVS to pick up a card. I registered it on-line, but am I permitted to use it at an ATM, or must I wait for the permanent card? Should I also hold off on debit card money order purchases until the permanent card arrives?

There is no temp card when you order online. You can see the last four #'s of the permanent card that is being sent but have to wait for it to come before you can activate and load it.

why would you use it at an ATM??? I believe its still a $1.95 fee for what $400 at max. CAing Ive done $5k for that same $1.95. I think you can get MOs as long as the person doesnt ask for the card and pic ID, since the temp doesnt have a name on it they may decline the MO purchase. That said I dont know if a temp card is blocked my MVD for usage since the strip on back might not be activated for use. At least you can load it up waiting for the permanent card to arrive

they will cut you a check and deduct $9.95 thats their fee for a check. Just call they will read you the riot act and reopen yur acct for 48 hrs , so that you can unload it. Depending how much you have in it decide either to hit say Wally for MOs or do 1 CA that is $1.95 at your bank

No one knows what exactly triggers a shutdown, and it may vary ("our chief weapon is surprise, surprise and fear, fear and surprise"), but I've read most of the posts in this thread and it seems that a common element between everyone who got shut down is cash advances. Some people get away with larger amounts for a longer period of time, some are shut down faster. But they all liquidated the funds they loaded by CA. And unlike MO purchases where there's no easy way for them to know what you bought at WM or the grocery store, it's trivial for them to write an algorithm which looks for people who just load the cards and cash advance the funds out. As I told Barry2013, I'd be very interested to see an example of someone who got shut down for only MO purchases.
Also I am not the only one with this pattern. There are enough number of people who never buy a single MO and not being shut down. They just dont care to talk about it in the forum. I think you are kidding yourself that they do not know what you are doing at WM unless you are doing MOs in very varying amount and below $950 each. Anything above $900 regardless how you try to disguise it by dollar and cents, they know what you are doing. You sure are not buying TVs and Computers and Sports goods that add up to the $900+ many times a week... |

Ive only gotten mine @ CV and loaded $500 each time Your analysis on the "fee" of the temp card is spot on. It is no different from buying a VR. Same cost to put $500 on it. When I got mine I ordered the perm card online but it did not arrive after 2 weeks waiting so I went ahead to get a temp card and registered it online. I was already did a CA of a few K's on the temp card when the 1st perm card and the perm card to replace the temp card arrived at the same time. |
FYI
It used to be CA shows as Pending, and $1.95 not shows up until next day.
I just notice that both CA and $1.95 are not pending any more. They are both as posted debits when I checked a few hours after CA. So those of you trying to do the Temp card $500, you need to leave the fee on the card as the fee would be deducted as part of the transaction. You would be a fool to think you can get $500 out and let Incomm eat the fee, or if you intend to drain out your card and be done with it, you would need to leave the fee on the account - else your transaction would be declined. |
Was able to CA today with no problem. Thanks for the updates, friends.

I am aware of one merchant of the washington flavor that has 2.99 cards, but sadly does not accept amex. The death of CGC has left a hole in my MS and I am starting to ramp on AMEXGC, but sadly those are amex. That is the most efficient (time + cost) way I could think to pull the money off the AMEXGC ([2.99 + 0.50] x2 + 0.70 per 1k, which barely beats VR and doesn't have the cap per month) and doesn't have the lag of GCM. If someone is aware of other reduced fee MVD card locations, and willing to share, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks.
