netspend a little more $ than other ways to MS. I limit to $500-1k/month since fees are higher than other methods. i could just buy MO with MC instead. much easier
edit:
I guess both require trips to WM but with mc I can do it all in one trip, though I guess I could bring a laptop and load while on the run with VR

I've been looking for it, as well. Search doesn't seem to bring it up.

Yeah, that's what I plan to test first.
On one of netSpend's summary pages or something it implies billpay is $1, but when you try to pay a bill via your account the links I was clicking usually indicated something like "fee varies" and the fees seemed all over the map (but higher than $1). Clicking something else gives the ACH details specific to your account, with the implication that that sort of billpay is free.
Any netSpenders wanna post a short Strategy Primer? There's new netSpenders due to the silly CVS/PayPal promo from right before Thanksgiving.

Here is what I am doing:
- 1k/ month for now until the beginning of the year with beans purchased at RA
- use netspend card to purchase MO
per 1k spent:
- 3.95 VR activation x 2
- $2 debit fee
- $9.90/1k
You can offset the fees with the netspend referral conga, you will get $40 in referral bonuses. I am unsure of the bill pay. I was basically going to use this card to get the fees to be offset by the referral cash. of course you could just get the referral money and run...

Thanks, ae...
Re VR can I cut that in half via ReloadIt $950 max at Safeway (i.e. kinda looking for a wiki re buying X with a CC)?
Re MO say you then deposit at Bank Z. Have you tried the alternative of using Z's website to instead do an ACH-pull from netSpend? Was it free?
EDIT: I USED MY CC WEBSITE TO ACH-Pull from netSpend FOR FREE
Thanks!

Unable to load card
My netspend card had been going strong for ~ 10 months
However now I am unable to load any money on it at all. I have loaded 1.4K this month and 1.5K in November. When I try to load it with VR it says that I have exceeded the recharge limit. I am still able to login and see my transactions and balance.
Any thoughts on is this a shut down or if they have new limits on how much we can load and unload each month?

I was able to load $4k ($2k x 2) and unloaded via MOing. Tried to load some more and VR wouldnt work, called up VR to do it and message said the card wasnt allowing any loads and to contact that company.I'll wait till after 1/1 to see if its dead or was just frozen for hitting the max
