Thanks, I'll do that from now on. It will save me $6 and a lot of time.

The card can only be loaded with cash or debit in store. I use $500 metabank gift cards bought at the grocery store.

Has anyone been successful at opening a second one of these upon shutdown?

Has anyone seen one of these? https://www.getscarlet.com

It's Walgreens version of the Metabank Visa BlueBird/Serve/RedCard Reloadable that's been going around recently...

Interesting and new approaches are always welcome. It looks like theres a $1.95 fee for loading that requires a swipe?

It's $1.95 if they swipe your Walgreens debit card to load but free if you give them the barcode generated by the app:

"There is no fee for utilizing scan reload via your Scarlet Bank Account mobile app at a Walgreens location. A $1.95 fee will apply if loading cash by swiping your Scarlet Bank Account card at a Walgreens location. This is a per transaction fee. The amount of each Add Money transaction at Walgreens locations must be at least $20.00."

Also seems there is a $7.95 monthly fee which is waived with $500 in DD or signature-based spending. Also, "[t]
he first monthly fee is assessed within 24 hours of registration and cannot be waived."

I'm not sure if WG accepts debit card loads in the first place.
