With the final days of these coming up, I am trying to buy as many as I can from my local source. I have mostly loaded to Greendot visa and Univision. My univision got locked because of loading/unloading too fast. I got that fixed but drained and sock drawered the card. My question is what other cards would be useful to try to load with a couple of MP's each before they stop selling on the first? I am looking at the walmart money card, but it is also a GD product, the 123 rewards card says it accepts MP's on the MP site. I was looking at Mango, but haven't found much about it.
Any replies would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of that. I usually run 1500 to 2000 through PP using MC cards.
I got a kroger 123 card today and will load 2 or 3 cards before the end of the month. I have 2 paypal accounts to put a couple on and ordered a rushcard.
My local gas station has about 14 MP cards left and I am trying to help them get rid of them. Hopefully they will get the new system or some VR's in for a couple more months of use.

the end is here
for me at least anyways ... went to my fav gas station yesterday and they had plenty of MP in stock, as always, tried to load 3 and the manger stopped me and showed me a memo they got saying that no more loading as of Jan 31st and for them to destroy all remaining cards 
no news on whether they'll be doing the direct swipe either, so i think MP are done. have 1 more gas station to try today but i doubt it'll be any different.

How does one liquidate MoneyPaks these days? It has been a couple years since I did so, and I bought one today at Vons with a cc, but it doesn't seem to be compatible with Amex prepaid products anymore. Thanks.

Purchased one of these without doing my research (Shame, shame, shame) and didn't realize they could no longer be added to Paypal. But I was shocked at how easy the refund process was. Fill in an online form, get a check. I was literally astonished.

All the Walmarts in my area have stopped allowing VGC for MO, so I am exploring new options. I found a store that will let me buy MoneyPaks with a credit card, bought one for $500. I also have a bunch of extra checking accounts I used for MO deposits that are now useless. I gathered up the debit cards for these accounts and used the page on the MoneyPak website to check if the MoneyPak could be loaded directly to the debit cards I have, so the money would be put right in the checking account. All the debit cards I have seem to be compatible.
I haven't used the MoneyPak I bought yet because I'm still trying to determine the best strategy for loading given all the horror stories earlier in this thread.
