Unless you can buy reloadit packs on credit i don't think there's much value here. In store you can load via visa readylink, which when looking at it requires cash for a load onto your card. see the terms below:

How to reload with Visa ReadyLink

1. Look for the Visa ReadyLink symbol on the door, kiosk, or register at participating stores, or at all U.S. MoneyGram agent locations.

2. Take your card and cash to the register or self-service kiosk. The cashier will swipe your card and accept your cash. At a kiosk, you'll swipe your card and insert the funds.**

At U.S. MoneyGram agent locations, your card will not be swiped. Instead, complete the
Blue Form or proceed to the MoneyGram phone to start your load. Use Receive Code 7034.

3. Get your receipt—and go! You'll have immediate access to your funds upon approval by your card provider.

Good sport.


If one cannot find ice cream nearby, one can use this to load BB and then billpay out of BB....


Other Load Options: Look for MoneyGramŪ and Visa ReadyLink reload locations.

Cheapest line of service is 45 to 50 a month... But add a phone is only $5

The cheapest T-Mo service option is buying a 1 year / 1000 minute prepaid SIM card for $100.

Official press release.

So they mention buying cards at Safeway starting in feb. I wonder if reloads or actual cards.

Where are reloadit packs sold now?

Cash only was the only option I was offered at store. Nothing even appear on pin pad.

2. This card is variant of PayPower, administered by Blackhawk Network, not T-Mobile.
PayPower card is known to shutdown people - read related thread.

No VR reload.

I'm very hesitant to utilize mine. Especially after such wonderful thread started with MS "experienced" people.

I saw the reloadit packs at Safeway this morning. $20-950 + $3.95 fee. I didn't look that close but I didn't see anything about not being able to use a CC... only mentioned that it would not earn fuel points.

Why not? It's T-Mobile's service. :confused:

The CAPTCHA failed several times before going though, but I doubt that would cause something like this.

Previous history with PayPower? Or other Blackhawk Network related issues?

'People who are not on a qualifying T-Mobile plan will incur additional fees.'

The words like 'Registered' and 'qualifying' are :confused:.
