The Reach Card
Appears similar to the other pp products. Has bill pay and uses some reloadit plus other interesting loading features. Any first hand experiences with this one? Can load through GC via some retailers it seems.

First glance, seems like a horrible, horrible card:
A monthly fee and a load fee at the mercy of the retailer? What are they thinking?
The REACH Card fees are among the easiest to understand and offer one of the best values of any prepaid cards. There are only three:
Activation Fee (One-Time) $9.95
Monthly Fee $8.95 per month
ATM Domestic Fee $2.50** per transaction
ATM International Fee $2.50** per transaction
A Load Fee (depending upon retailer) will be charged by the retailer each time funds are loaded on your Card. This amount is an independent fee assessed by the individual retailer only and is not assessed by us.
You can avoid ATM fees by getting cash back after purchases. There are no other fees. Free customer service, free transaction, free bill pay.

Their choice of wording is just poor. This is the same as how some cards say "$x.xx maximum fee" or "$x.xx to $y.yy load fee". They are just avoiding looking up all the fees that cards like REloadit charge.
The card is really only good, though, if T-Mobile has shut you down.

This card is done unfortunately and it was great while it lasted. Was a card that allowed large amounts of MS if done correctly.
