Can confirm it won't let you load more than $247.05 + $2.95 fee per load, didn't actually load though waiting for data points if posts as CA for CITI cards

So there was a point where you could load $2500 on these cards?

Also does anyone know if they can charge the monthly fee even if the card balance is zero?

There was a point where you could load $2,500/day with no fees and no monthly limits (i.e., 75K/month). And fee-free bill pay. If there ever was a perpetual MS machine, that was it...

Citi AA Exec Mastercard

I ordered 2 for myself, 1 for my wife. Wife's came and mine did not. I received an email saying my account was shut down, which was kinda funny because it was never open in the first place.

yea it probably got even worse. Look they realized their mistake when some folks were doing 10s of 1000s w/o any fees. Then they attached some fees and the loads were probably alot more still then they thought theyd be and saw it still wasnt what they thought. So they crash landed the program and bingo they knew they hit pay dirt as the $$$ being runned thru was less then a trickle

I cant think of any reason theyd go back into the biz of losing money again

is this dead? i see that its 1000$ load with credit card per day and 20 times per 30 days? is that right?
https://bgcde.getdebitcard.net/wap/#...AgreementTerms

the load fee seems to be 2% for credit card
so why don't I buy AGC using cashback (2.25%) and reload this 1k/day
= profit?

You'll profit $2.50 per load. Of course, you'll need that $2.50 to cover AGC card fees as well as the unloading fees associated with the card.

If less than one quarter of one percent profit is worth your time and risk then enjoy.

At that point, you're better off using Plastiq or RadPad for the same fee with lesser/different hassle..

since AGCs are treated as credit cards, $1K loaded once/day will have $20 fees so if you have $2K AGC that you earned 2% CB from CC + 2.25% CB from portal = $85 -$3.95 fee - $40load fee for 2 days= $41.05, not counting the misc fees attached to draining this card like 0.75 per B/P. ATM w/d per 24 hrs is $500. I may have missed other hidden expenses so feel free to check them.

This entails a lot of work and tracking, but it may be worth it to some depending on volume of MS and their spare time.
