i paid Citi with no problem

cant pay AMEX b/c Amex doesn't allow enough numbers to be entered

Update: even thou NS wrote to me and the FDIC on 2/5 that they will be cutting the check and sending it on 2/7 that never happened. I resubmitted a complaint with the FDIC this past Tues.

Today the check arrived it was cut and sent on 2/21 2 weeks after they said they were going to send it.

This all began back on 1/7 when my use was Denied and told by NS my funds are frozen and my acct was placed on hold for withdrawls back on 12/17 although never told to me and I was allowed to load my card

If you cant afford to have your funds tied up for 2 months or longer Stay out of this game! If you are forced to pay the CC their crazy interset rates till you get your $$ back its not worth it. This game is not risk free and can be very costly. This can be said for any of the instruments that are used and not only NS

i tried to do a ach pull with citi and was hit with a 25.00 fee and payment reversal so citi didnt take my payment.Has anybody tried to do a debit over the phone with citi?

I have recently decided to stop initiating ACH from the CCC side. Some issuers will charge a fee for failed ACH attempts. NS in particular are notorious for not honoring ACH debits for misspelling of names. For example if your name is John Andrew Murphy, NS has a habit of refusing ACH pulls if originated from John A Murphy Credit card account.

BP from third party is the best way. In most cases, it will be processed the next business day which is the same speed as ACH pulls by the CCC.

Same happened to me. Chase worked fine though. (I did SM Citi and get them to waive the $25 fee, so you might want to try that).

So, I have Netspend reload stations and reload packs are sold everywhere near my house. More so than VR's I'd like to jump into this card but I'm having my doubts given the shut downs....

Yup, me too. My CVS was out of MyVanilla's so I purchased a Netspend, loaded an additional $500 and ACH'd to Club Carlson CC.

Don't want to deal with it. It'll will probably be thrown away before my permanent card gets here! :)

Been using NS for over 6 months without any issue (knock on wood). VR's @$2k month deposit then ACH pull to mortgage, car payment and utilities. Best way to pay bills that do not take CC.

tried ach last night. hoping it goes thru to chase without issue :)

How strict is NS in terms of pumping and dumping Reloadit cards?

Netspend won't let me add any more beans, have done 4K this month, so I assume I'm bumping some kind of monthly limit on bean loads. I saw someone mention a $3,500 monthly limit. Does anyone know if that is a rolling month or a calendar month?

Wow...Silent Bob, I'm really impressed that you broke almost 10 years of lurking under the radar for just this moment!

There used to be a 2.5K limit, rolling 30 day, but that got rolled back in December. I loaded 5K and I got the big ol' boot, so caveat manufactor.

Your lurker status is impressive. I would have forgot my login after 10 years.

Deleted after reading NS website.

Just ACH'd my Amex SPG last week. Amex's site took the full account number without any problems, and the payment has posted and cleared.

I know this is just one data point, but perhaps Amex has fixed whatever the issue was with accepting these account numbers.
