Another one bites the dust, Vanilla Reloads being phased out.
Just received "change in conditions for your BlueBird account:.
" Starting April 1, 2015, the Incomm Vanilla Reload PIN Package will no longer be available for purchase. Any previously purchased Vanilla Reload can still be added to any Bluebird account".
Another good ride coming to an end.

With MPs going away at the end of the month and now VRs in April scams with RLs are going to skyrocket and it'll only be a matter of time before Blackhawk kills them. That really sucks. I do huge volumes in RLs each month and it'll make my life a lot more difficult.

2 seconds on google will lead you to linking the reason with Senate investigation into pre-paid fraud. Both incommand greendot are pulling out of the market. With all the people buying phones on craigslist from sellers who only accept GD or VR and then trying to find their money I guess its not really profitable in the end.

I have only ever used Vanilla Reloads with pins to load my Bluebird card, to meet minimum spends and get miles. Are there any other Visa or MC cards I can buy with a credit card and load to my Bluebird? Thanks in advance

Spend 5 minutes reading the ms forum or internet in general and you'll have your answer.

Because it's more profitable to not produce plastic cards and ship them to stores and deal with fraud. VR is not gong away, just the cards are.
