Netspend
 

I just saw below notice in my NetSpend account:

IMPORTANT: Effective May 21, 2013, and until further notice,for security reasons your Card Account may not be used to obtain cash (1) at any ATM, or (2) by making an Over the Counter Cash Withdrawal at any financial institution (also referred to as an "OTC withdrawal") located in any of the following nations: Jamaica, Vietnam, and the Dominican Republic.


Is this something posted to all accounts?
(I have never used the card at an ATM or for cash advance, nor have I ever been to Jamaica, Vietnam, or the Dominican Republic!)

And what kind of security reason permits a financial institution to restrict people's access to their own money at an ATM?!

Do you live in either Jamaica, Vietnam, or the Dominican Republic ?

I live in Missouri. never an issue with my card.. same message.

Ill be cancelling.

It sounds like the restriction for ATM or cash advances only applies to use in Jamaica, Vietnam, and the Dominican Republic. If you don't visit any of those countries, then you won't be affected.

So is there anyone not seeing this message in her/his account?

Netspend limited my account
 

I've got an error when trying to login to my Netspend account today.
When I called them they told me I put too many reloads on my account and they can allow me to load only $3500 per month. Anybody has similar experience?
Do you know if it is possible to open the second Netspend card?

I wish Gobank behaved like that. I would like to have a limit instead of being shut down. I'd be happy if I were you.

Btw, how are you loading that card?

I use GoBank too. What was your loading pattern before they shut you down?

I was loading 2 beans every day for about 4 months, occasionally 3-4 beans per day. I was on vacation for 3 weeks, then I started again and was suspended. I also used Reloadit few days ago in addition to VR and got an error message when trying to load 2 Reloadit cards on the same day. I don't know if this is related.
So anybody tried to open the second Netspend card?

I loaded one Reloadit to my Netspend card today. Sine then I have not been able to load any more Reloadits. I called Reloadit and they said that netspend is rejecting the load. I called Netspend and they are saying the card is in good standing and I should contact Reloadit.

Anyone else with similar issues?

Yes, I had exactly the same experience with Reloadit. I waited one day and then I was able to load another Reloadit card. But 2 days later I got the problem described in this topic.

I just visited one NumericallyNumbered gas station where I purchased a couple of beans recently and the manager told me that he received a call yesterday and somebody was asking about my purchases of VRs. They asked him if he knows what I am using them for and they said I purchased a lot of them recently. I was a little shocked, but he was Ok to sell me more VRs.
Any idea what that could be? He told me the call was from the company that sells "this stuff". But it's really weird for InComm to ask such questions since they have all the information. Could it be a call from Netspend? But how do they know where I purchased VRs?

Groundhog,

The calling around is strange. Please report back if you find anything.

There have been reports of this happening, see http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/manuf...se-incomm.html
