Interesting experience today:
I have two netspend cards that had been going strong for quite sometime. They both had zero balance but I tried to login today and got the dreaded screen 'there is a problem with your account...'
I called in and the representative said that the pattern of spending is consistent with that of 'abuse of credit card rewards system.' They unblocked both my accounts and said if the pattern continues then they will be closed.
Anyone else had this experience? My understanding was that they typically do not unblock accounts and also do not explicitly talk about 'abuse of credit card rewards'

Thanks for posting, but you're kinda leaving us hanging. When the rep said "if the pattern continues then they will be closed", the rep knows the pattern, and you know the pattern.
Could you tell us a little about the pattern? For example, I make one normal purchase a month at the drive-thru or hardware store or something, and set a monthly limit on load/unload. Thanks!

I was shut down too--thought that Premier would cover me loading the full 5K.
But I do know someone who talked his way back into his account after loading 5K in a month, which is ridiculous and amazing at the same time. I'll see if he can share his story.

I tried to pay my Citi CC bill. I properly entered my routing number and account number (as shown to me on the Netspend website) into Citi's billpay profile. Two days later I got a message from Citi that the payment was declined due to an inaccurate account number or routing number.
Anyone else have this issue? Any suggested solutions?

Read previous posts. Don't ACH pay Citi CC!

EDIT: I actually paid Chase not CITI, my mistake
