Which version is BOTH vanilla reloadable AND with savings option?
There are two versions on http://www.momentumcard.com/ and it appears that
-black version is not vanilla reloadable, but has savings option.
-blue version is vanilla reloadable, but has NO savings option now ("SAVINGS ACCOUNT COMING SOON").
So I'm confused as which version is people picking up?

Does this have free billpay? The site says "PAY BILLS easily from home (e.g. cell phone, utilities, satellite radio, & more) with companies that accept Visa."

It looks like it does but I haven't really tried out the billpay section. At first glance it looks like Bluebird in terms of having electronic and paper check payments available depending on the bill.

Looks like I need to visit a MONEY MART or LOAN MART to get one.

Error code 26
Recently acquired a "black" momentum card at a MoneyMart a mile outside of OGG. (Had to run to Costco for cash from ATM as I didn't realize MoneyMart required $20 in cash per card to activate.) I'm now trying to add funds to the card via Beans and am getting an error code 26. Vanilla points their finger at Momentum and Momentum points their finger at Vanilla. A victorious cycle indeed. Any one ever had an issue with this error? Resolution? Hints?

That I know of I won't receive a temporary card in the mail. They printed my name directly on the card as I was applying for the card at the MoneyMart and I left the store with it. They said I would not receive another card. Does that jive with what everyone else knows?

When I went to Moneymart they gave me a temporary one and the permanent one came in the mail. I waited until the permanent card came to do any bean collecting.

Interesting, on their website the Black card doesn't say anything about being VR loadable but the Blue card explicitly does say its part of the VR Network. However, we've got Sound48 with a Black card that they've VRed apparently.
I don't have one myself yet, but I'll be in OGG in 3 weeks, planning to grab one then.
