I got shut down by HR emerald prepaid after just open for 3 weeks. I online debit my Buxx card three times for $200 each. If HR don't like people to use online debit, why list online debit as an option? I haven't got my $600 back for three weeks.
My SO's emerald card is still open, I only online debited that card for twice, though.

My Emerald H&R block card got shut down. Only 2 loads and one charge at panera bread. This card is pathetic. Only need to float $400 which is no big deal so im not really sweating it. Just something I need to remind myself that I have money in there and track it eventually. Too busy to call and worry about it for now.

When I was shutdown by Emerald for online debit loads, they returned money to my PP account. Check your funding accounts for the money.

My transactions:
200 load 1st day
spend 10.95 at panera bread 1st day
200 load 2nd day
So as far as I know, I am unbanned and free to use my card. It even says that I will get a cashback for $2.00 for spending at panera bread. haha. I wont load anymore on this card. Just let it sit with a balance for a little bit or drain it via bluebird later on this month.

Gobank has a published limit of $3K per 30 days. It will not stop you from doing more than that, but nonetheless you violated the terms of the card.

Chase closed all my CC yesterday without any notification. My bank accounts were closed last month. But got letter for it. Careful with Chase.

Having had a checking or banking relationship with Chase is a very common trait among those that get cards shutdown.

Wife's Barclay got shut down.
Frontier - didn't use much.
US Airways - recent 50K bonus and 20K spend in 3 months via AGC.
Arrival - 10K a month for about 2 yrs via MS and AGC.
I am probably next so I am clearing my Arrival points now via SW gift cards.

Any other possible cause? Barclays is very tolerant to MS since there is not much bonus category out there.
