Loyal3 stopped accepting credit cards
Got a mail from Loyal3 today.
"We've had an amazing 2014, introducing more IPOs to the general public than ever before - with brands such as Santander Consumer USA, GoPro and Dave & Buster's. And we've added many new stocks, including most recently, Kraft Foods.
Through the success, we've also learned a lot about how people use LOYAL3. Credit cards have become a common method for people "gaming" LOYAL3 to gain credit card points and not for the purpose of investing. This increases our costs and subtracts from our mission of making it easy, affordable and fee-free for people to invest in the brands they love.
In order to put an end to the "gaming" of LOYAL3, and to maintain fee-free investing, on Tuesday, 11/18/2014, we will be removing credit and debit cards from the LOYAL3 platform. Automatic Monthly Plans (monthly recurring investments) using credit and debit cards will continue to be active until Thursday, 12/11/2014, to allow time to switch over to ACH (checking account transfers)."
Another venue for MS closed.
