For SoCal it appears they want you to order off their Web site. You need to be signed in to the AAA Web site, and there is a link on the "FINANCIAL" tab portion of the site. There I find the following (below); to purchase I am redirected to a portal page that is apparently run by MetaBank.

Got blacklisted by AAA. I bought a $500 only one time with an AGC. Cashed out by MO at Kroger. Came back that afternoon to buy some more , like $2000, and I was about to pay with an AGC and the manager came over for some reason and said just credit card or debit. No gift cards for gift cards. I was pretty mad since I was able to do GC for GC that same morning with the same employee. After fighting with upper management for such a stupid policy (nowhere they said that GC for GC wasn't allowed) I gave up. Tried to buy $500 last week, and the rude lady behind the counter told me to call Metabank. Called Metabank and they told me that I could not ever buy AAA gift cards for violation of T &C. they can screw themselves then!!!

Because you are new, some will forgive you and others would tar and feather you, but you must remember that it is a privilege to rob and pillage these companies. Now and then that privilege gets revoked for irrational reasons that no amount of well thought out factual arguments will change....ever.
So take your (temporary) beating and move on to the next opportunity.
DO NOT MAKE A SCENE.
DO NOT CALL AND ARGUE.

I called today and asked if the problem was fixed, I was put on hold then asked my name, when I gave my name she replied "no, we can't sell you any cards", I asked if it was me or just anyone and she replied "we have a list of people we can't sell cards to", she asked me if I wanted Metabanks number and I declined.
Data Point - I loaded the cards via WM onto Bluebird over a period of 3-4 days. Obviously Metabank tracked them and blacklisted me

Anyone know what kind of long term implications the Metabank ban has? My guess is that most of you that got a ban just got a AAA ban, not a Metabank ban. Anyone run into issues buying Metabank products anywhere else or with Metabank reloadable debit cards after the ban?

Does anyone know if the TravelMoney cards work for MS? It says you can load them in a branch without a fee. If the cards are able to be loaded at a branch with a CC, then this might prevent the issue of buying multiple GCs. You buy the one card, then reload it. AAA lists the gift cards and travel money as two separate products. Anyone have experience with the Travel Money?
