My JH arrived, too. Pastor preached on money at church tonight. Said spend cash, not credit. Third point out of six. Also, gave us homework. Watch the "RUDY" movie. Thank you, Pastor. Have a good evening.

What is the easiest, and least fee intense way to use this? I was at WM tonight (after church) and picked up a Money Services brochure featuring all the icons like VR, HRB Emerald. Didn't see the JH icon. But, reading posts indicates can reload at WM?

I "interviewed" the customer service person to go over reload procedures. I have a CC paid for VR and want to use it. Hopefully.

So far, the cost on this to start at $1k a month I figure is this:

$7.90 + 7.48 + $1.40 (2x MOs) is $16.78.

Net return: 1008 miles or points for VR cost.

Ok, what is it that I am missing?

To load the JH with the VR visit vanillareload.com and it's free, not $7.48.

A cheaper and easier way would be to load a BB card, so you can use the billpay instead of visiting WM for MOs.

Yes, I appreciate it. Thanks cuebert! Great information. Can try on Monday.

I've mentioned in another post I am waiting for on old Serve account to close before I can try out BB. Trying to be patient but couldn't help myself. I just had to know if I could get a VR at CVS with CC and I only struck out at one CVS and found two others that do sell them.

In the meantime, this card came in. Thanks again!

Mine just arrived. I believe in the hard and fast approach, so I am going to spend $15 at the grocery store. Well, maybe not $15, say $12, hard and fast but not reckless.

I had the weirdest experience with the JH call in to verify process today. Get the must call msg so I do. Lady says ok now we have to ask you some security verification questions. Np im thinking, ive been through this drill before. Then the questions comes. Which of these addresses have u lived at. (four addresses I don't recognize) A: none.

next question: Which address most closely matches the following address. (she then gives me a completely random address and then 4 more addresses that are totally random) A: huh? why are they asking me about this completely random address that I don't recognize.

next question: which hospital is closest to you?
They name 4 hospitals, none of which are close to my home address. The two hospitals that are closest to my house are not on the list. Im like huh?

sorry Mr S but you have FAILED the questions and we no give u a card. buh bye!

Ahhh one of the many reasons calling is my last option for anything MS-related. As long as I can reload and drain, I stay silent.

What did you get when you tried to apply online?

Looks like i was lucky enough to be approved online.

Think this is the first time I heard about some checks to get a prepaid card.

I've had questions like those when trying to order a credit report online. When I've "failed" them, it has been because there is some wrong information in my report somewhere. (Which is why I wanted a copy in the first place...) So I would check with wherever JH gets its information that your record is accurate.

Just got my card in the mail...they sent 2 of em. I managed to register both to different accounts.

Hopefully that's an extra 20k in VRs every month in the future?

Yeah....no. You'll be shut down before the first month is over.

Got my card in the mail as well. I'm still debating how I want to play this one. I'm thinking 2k a month in VR's then use it to pay for MO's at WallyWorld.
