my auto-reload didn 't go through until 12 hours after I went below my re-load threshold. i thought it would be instantaneous...good thing I had my AMEX PRG with me.

I assume this means the reloads will not qualify as supermarket transactions?

also note the stack of multiple authorizations when you set up auto-reload for the first few days, in case anyone's thinking of pairing this with prepaids.

$10/amex is not bad for minimal time/hassle, but some here may potentially be losing 6% in the process on the reloads, which haven't coded as supermarket for me.

I don't suppose Whole Foods sells Vanilla Reloads, do they?

(If they did, I'd guess the fee would be $13.95!)
