Yeah, I must live in a very active area. One weekend, I went to 5 stores, and all 5 had sold out. They restock each week, and if you aren't there the first two days, they would be all gone.

Where are you guys buying the cards...C V S? Any trouble with the new daily limits on reloadable purchases there?

Certainly seems that way. I just purchased my first MC about 30 minutes ago too. lol

Edit: Sluggish and still a bug or two, but my $500 showed up in my account and I got an email.

Just loaded $500 PPMC successfully. The only thing funny about PP for me right now is that the main page is shown as the classic version.

Up now
 
I just loaded $500. I couldn't yesterday.

Account review
 
Two of my accounts got the account review notice today. I never "withdraw" money. All my transactions post as "signature". I am guessing maybe its the Serve Load that triggered. I see on other forums that Serve changed the way its processing its transactions. Its just a guess, I still see Debit Signature transactions and have been receiving my 1.5% cash back. I initiated my monthly serve loads on Monday and got the notice today, so just guessing. It usually takes 2 days to move from pending to actual. I know its just a matter of time before PP shuts me down. I abuse it like crazy, love making $ and miles at the same time.

I think it is hard to abuse the paypal account. It only has $4000/month limit per account.

Did anyone try to call the number on the email? I plan to call them for one of my accounts that I never loaded PPMC there but also got the email.

Good Luck, Paypal is the worst.

Wondering how you do it if all the transactions are signature transactions.

Yaoyao Nov 5, 2014 3:45 pm

I do think that the server loads triggered it, especially if you do it on daily basis. I just changed my schedule to weekly basis, let's see how long it will last. When PP shuts down accounts, do they shut down both pp account and debit card or just debit card? I dont really care about PPBDC if serve load is not allowed, but I do need PP account for other purposes (e.g. ebay purchase, CB deposit, etc)

JTxm Nov 5, 2014 4:08 pm

I got the warning letter today.

I'm usually pretty light on the PPMC. 1k-2.5k month. Unload via Serve and MOs. I've only hit the 4k twice in the last 6 months or so.

I usually let it sit at least a week, keep a PP balance around $200, and use PP a few times per month for Ebay and other online purchases.

JTxm Nov 5, 2014 4:13 pm

Is it possible that this is like an Amex FR light? Perhaps there is some process of justification that would allow continued use without fear of shutdown?

I use it to load other reloadable debit cards. They all post as signature. I use the other cards to pay back citi CC. (When I pay Citi with paypal, it posts as debit card pin, even though I didn't use a pin - so no cash back)

Walmero Nov 5, 2014 6:01 pm

also got account review on 2 accounts today... just did MO p1n purch on both of them. Curious... did anyone get the review PURELY from Serve online signature load? Would love to still do the 1k per month with this route as well as real spend if possible.

Also, has anyone paid mortgage with PPBDC somehow ever?
