I initiated a bp on 6/13, went out 6/17, no problem. Initiated another yesterday to wipe my account clean after reading all the news on here, logged in this morning without any issues, appears the bp went out just fine (balance shows $0) but may be too soon to tell.

Yeeeeeeah. (I may re-apply, I just won't risk leaving a large amount sitting in the account.)
I got a reply today to my recent e-mail asking for the account status after I faxed the baloney.

Just paid my mortgage the other day. That's the only BP Ive used this card for. The rest is all large money orders at a local grocery store, and a few hundred in regular spending to keep them thinking I'm a regular user.

I have this card, and just activated it because I believed I could by reloadits with CC. After reading this thread, I don't think I want to bother with this product. I think I will stay with GB and BB. I was prepared to throw them some swipes to keep it happy, but it appears they don't even go for that. Smh.

I used this card for over 5 months and each month with $5000 bill pay. Today I heard some news about shut down. When I log into my account, it shows the following information, any one has same experience?

You've been shut down. Call and ask them to send you a check for the balance on the account.

Idk why Visa GCs have any thing to do here. For me, RI + $1 = MP fee. I'd just pay 50c more for a MO.

Yep. Not the same game, since there are no RIs in my State. I was only looking at AN for MPs. But my source of MPs sells Visa GCs with the same fees as MPs. That is why my post was about Visas.

I can apply via site for new acc. But decision is on them.
I think that was their idea from the beginning. And it were no need to bother to send them all docs requested. (Serv at least removed restrictions after docs sent. Not this "bank".)
Funny that FTG promotes the accoutNow
-- too late to the game.

If you have access to the Visa from the same source with the same fees, stick with them. Why pay the same fees for more trouble? I'd gladly clean out the Visa GC rack at my source if there were any left. Vaguely remember once upon a time there was a $500 Visa GC there...
