I haven't been able to figure it out. I know I can buy OV and get MO but I prefer to drain at BB. I have other places but like CVS because you can buy in bulk.
Thanks

You can't buy MO at WM either anymore using OV. Game just got a little time consuming for me.

I use AmEx (old) to get 5 points. I can afford 2 pts for this month 5K for BB, means I am looking to find where I can buy BB loadable debit card with one Vanilla visa, willing to pay $10/500 - double fees compared to last month. I think is possible, eventually we will find it

Does the "law' apply to true debit cards or gift cards/disposables too? If both, then how come AmEx gc's never implemented PINs?

You could always buy paypal my cash but routing the funds to bluebird or serve can be tricky.

Does it matter? One law/regulation gives u a right and the company/industry policy balances out.....
U get the PIN but cannot use it to buy MO or do BP, such a PIN illusion!
A friendly cashier at WMT explained me why no more MOs with debit card by saying people were using 'fake' debit cards (he meant not 'real').
Now, we have real debit cards(checking/saving accounts) and fake debit cards (prepaid)

Is there something called 'laundering debit cards'?

Is MSing = laundering debit cards (sounds illegal?) ;)

Why bother routing to BB or Serve? Why not just liquidate through PayPal?

You are being sarcastic right?

Folks,
I have read last several pages before asking.

I need to MS on my mastercard and since AP is on the frisk, what other means can I MS without incurring any charges?

Please, please help with process/suggestions. Please make it painless by spelling out the acronyms. TIA.

Stay away from ScamPal, unless you have to use them to buy or sell on ebay. Just google their shenanigans for specifics.
