Reloadit master thread
Check out the new Reloadit site. The Reloadit "safe" includes a billpay function that is coming February 19th. Interesting possibilities...

Looks interesting. Finding grocery store cashiers who will sell reloadit is a challenge. However with the new design with no 'Cash Only' label in the front, will hopefully make it easy.

I didn't see these new cards yet in our store - only old design. Do they come in $20-500 or $200-950?

I don't think it matters what the label says or cashiers are willing to do. The rules of acceptable payments are coded into the register. I had many situations when I went all the way past swiping the credit card just to be denied by the machine.

It absolutely matters what the cashier thinks and is willing to do. There are many times when a cashier will refuse to ring up a card because in their head, it is cash only, despite the register allowing it.
This happened to me at a go to grocery store last week. I returned the next day and simply went to a different cashier who didn't bat an eye.

I've had the occasional cashier who would ring me up, but about 95% of the time they point to the "cash only" print. Meanwhile, I generally have no problem buying VGCs and Univision cards with a CC because they do not have the "cash only" print.

There is some discussion about reloadits in the Tmobile prepaid card thread. Some reports of seeing the new card on racks. Definitely YMMV about buying with a CC. I was able to coax a cashier at a socal grocery store yesterday into letting buy the old version with a cc.

I was pointed to the "cash only" print just yesterday. As the only thing they care about is that wording on the card. Wasted trip to the store...

I'm interested to see what kind of BP ReloadIt will offer.
On other hand, did anybody recently get TheReachCard or Vision Prepaid? Both are reloadable via Reloadits, offer BP. I have both of them, they are very useful for my MS activity. However, I noticed (it is more than 1 month) that when I click "get your card" it does not take you to sign up page but rather the same homepage reappears. Did they shutdown new sign-ups (both are Bancorp products)? I don't think they blacklist my IP address.
Can anybody try if you could see sign up page (just curious)?
