That's the point of my question--I want to free up some of these cards, though I have no problem with keeping <$10K illiquid. Thanks for your suggestion! ^

Bluebird loading from MyVanillaDebit or Amex prepaid
I use Bluebird card and my wife also has a Bluebird card. In first 10 days of April, I have exhausted maximum monthly load limit of 10K together on two cards.
What to do for rest of the month?
I want to explore other options of continued funding to Bluebird but not sure about them.
I can load MVD using Vanilla Reloads. Can I then use MVD as a debit card to load Bluebird using my MVD PIN # at Walmart. That way I can add additional $4000 each or $8000 split in my two Bluebird cards. This will allow me to use full $100,000 limit per year for each card which I cannot use today due to limited to $60,000 per year per card.
Does Amex prepaid come with PIN #? Can it be used to transfer money to Bluebird?
Please share your experiences.

You can only load BB upto 5K a month with VR's and debit (it's not 5K each, 5K in total). Even with DD, it is still 5K minit.
You can load upto 100K or whatever the limit with transfer from bank or DD but why would you do that.
Review the MVD thread, there have been so many shutdowns lately.

Why are folks so averse to doing some limited swiping with these cards? Won't that keep the issuers happy and only slightly dent our profits?

It's dumb to me to keep killing deals and getting shut down when everyone could play nice in the sandbox and keep generating rewards and make a little money on the side.

All we have to do is rotate the cards out. Carry a card one week at a time and make some swipes at the parking garage or other places that don't get rewards.

I've seen my CSP get 2x points on parking garages and tolls.

Not necessarily. However, I find it difficult to believe that I will get shut down if I pay a few bills here, swipe a few times there, and withdraw cash when I actually need it versus trying to convert credit to cash on a large scale.
I'm all about beating the system. We need to be smart enough to know that the system makes the rules and can decide to shut us down or make the deals less appealing. If I swipe 4 or 5 times and pay 5 bucks total, I'm still winning. The companies are too if everyone swipes. Folks that never take their card out of the house are probably going to get shut down sooner rather than later.
