To make a long story short, I have activated four of the cards using NetSpend web site, applying as a non-US resident (which is indeed my case - I am here on a visa 
). My card got activated, with the caveat that within a month I need to fax a copy of passport/drivers license etc. As I don't plan on keeping these cards, I will skip this particular step. As a side note, I don't think the site actually validates name/address/document #
I already used these cards to load BB, proving that the approach works.

Also, I activated it on the 12th, and it gave me only until the 22nd to submit the documents. I wonder why. Haha

Can I reload with OV? Can I do it at any register or do I have to go to the money service desk? Had a denied transaction at the register shortly after buying the OV, so it could have been a delayed activation since the denial does not show up on the OV log...

From what I gather, most people, including me, just use it for the 5% savings account. at $2.00 per debit transaction it doesn't make sense to use for any purchases.

It still exists but is limited to $1k. In Texas we can load for free with gebits at a local grocery chain. I just got my 3rd today for the savings. I believe you can have up to 5 across the different varieties.

I did a little research and it seems I found my answer however want to confirm here. Netspend still requires a SS number correct? So you can NOT have multiple cards under the same name unless they are forged?
The reason I ask is because is for employment reasons. I did an investigation the other day which involved an individual having about 13 netspend cards under the same name. He insisted it is allowed however from my gift card churning days, I remember this not being allowed
