On the website it looks like you can load for free from paypal and withdraw for free to a bank account. Looks like the main limit is load $2500 per day and spend $2500 per day? Is there a monthly limit?

Watch out for PayPal shutdown. It makes its seem like a feature it looks more like a 'load and unload to a bank account.' I tried it out myself, however YMMV and risk getting your Paypal shutdown.

Very valid point, I try to avoid using Paypal as they function much like a bank with debit cards and holding money, etc. But they can hold funds for a long time if something triggers a fraud alert. Not worth the PITA it might become IMHO.

Given that you can already unload from PP to a bank or thru one of their own card products, what advantage does this offer?

Can you set paypal to pull from a credit card for free (when you have no paypal balance) and load the Vision card and then move the money from Vision to a bank for free? Trying to think how to load from a credit card for free and deposit in a bank account for free.

No, you need to have funds in your Paypal account to withdraw the money. Oh and it takes 4 days transfer.

This is a card way down my list of products I'd want to use. But if other avenues get shut down, may have to hold my nose.

The advantage is you can load with a MoneyPak reload card. The disadvantage are the monthly fees and finding MPs that can be bought with CCs are hard to find.
