Sent you a PM.

I never understand - why do people post these? To suggest there's more info than is available in the thread, but that they aren't giving it out?

It's like telling the rest of us that you just told a secret.

Can someone PM me about limitations of using PP before account closure? I have legit spending, rare eBay or PP purchases, and once transferred $650 to my bank account. I haven't tried MO yet but would like to try. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

PM central here. So what's the point of a forum?

Last month, I loaded $3000, spent $200 and then zeroed the account by transferring $2800 to my checking account. Then I loaded another $1000 in the following two days, and then used it all up within 2-3 days after. Today, my cash load limit has been increased by $500. Just a data point.

That $500 limit change is just a $500 load rolling off from 30 days ago.

Perhaps it is because many people have had Thousands of Dollars tied up and held by Incomm/Vanilla from Netspend Cards, Mio Cards and now My Vanilla Debit cards all caused to some part by Blogs taking info from forums like this and others and posting about it with pictures/photos, graphs, charts, arrows and circles even by some only to have things blow up and some people to have over 10 Thousand or more tied up requiring documentation and many many phone calls and threats as reported by many highly regarded members. Oh and green dot same thing account closures so maybe PM is the way to go

So perhaps some people are just being careful. I know it took my over 3 months to get my SO's and my Mio card balances paid back to us


Now I never got my PM either LOL. I do have a PP account I used maybe twice in my life and a envelope full of MP so where do I get the thing I need and if thing is too vague maybe biz plastic and wassup with banking

Talking about Thailand doesn't count. I want secrets and sneaky ways to burn some MP's safely and fast and free or cheap. :D

I know one way but if I posted it another deal would blow up perhaps plus I promised not to post it so it is a secret. I would trade secrets though especially with Victoria LOL

get a business paypal debit (1% back on signature purchases)and use it make many normal payments so paypal sees you as a normal user, send money to a spouse/friend rather than just sending the money to your checking. Buy MO at walmart with pin.

This is from page 2!!! It is all you need to know...no PM needed

This has been my pattern. I've had no problems..

I just received this plastic in the mail. This thread has been very helpful. I will send payments to my gf and use the card to pay bills and other random things.

If anyone has found a place to get good rewards for buying MP, please PM me. The grocer near me doesn't allow cc purchases. I've had luck at Charlie victor sierra, but I only have a 2% card for purchases there.
