Call from Bluebird?
 
I got a voicemail earlier today asking me to call them. I've only used bluebird to load at Walmart and to pay bills. They didn't say what it was about. I've loaded like $3k this week. Anyone know what it might be about?

No idea. Why don't you just call Bluebird to find out what they have to say? I doubt its anything bad. Keep us updated on what they were asking for.

No idea. Whenever I get an unexpected call from a financial institution my first step is to try to confirm via Google that the number (either that called you or that was left on your voicemail) really does belong to the financial institution in question.

also tell them you will hang up and call the number printed on the back of your card, then do it.

Had the same during early days. They want to confirm that you are you.

+1

And I received a call for loading prepaid cards online during my early days too, but if you have not done so, I wouldn't worry about that. Seems like you've been using it within the terms and conditions.

Had this verification process about the 3rd month after opening. After that, it's been smooth sailing.

First CC to VR to BB
 
I just made my first CC purchase of VR and loaded by BB. How long should I wait to use BB to pay CC?

Thanks!

You'll definitely be fine after waiting 3-6 months.

is there a reason you shouldn't do it before 3 months??

It's well documented some where. There's a propagation delay that takes place between the server at Incomm and the server at AMEX. Plus each transaction needs to be fully verified and authenticated by their servers. I was told this process takes about 1000000000ns but your YMMV.
