My one and only BB account shut down this morning as well. Bummer. At least I have company!

Yeh RIP thanks for the fun ride, myself and my mother account both got shut down this morning what a sad sad day for our point and credit card game :(

Is that 1-800 # Amex put in our emails also a grief counseling #? I need someone to talk to.

My friend, per my advice got a bluebird bout 2 months ago. Loaded 6 of the $500 VGCs, then did bill pay. -was shutdown today

Ha. Just opened another BB account last night. At least it hasn't been shut down.... yet.

I called bluebird and they had no answer all they could tell me to do is send a snail mail asking why.

I believe the answer is pretty simple:

I'm wondering has anyone actually tried to load today with a "closed" account?

I too was shutdown today by Bluebird

All 3 accounts shutdown, was loading about $3k/month each and bill pay, some spending. Bye Bye BB!

Super lame, shut down, even though was just using it to mostly pay rent every month. Newer to this game so sad to see it go so soon.

Wife just got serve shutdown email:

Unfortunately yes. That is how I learned of this. Kate sent me a message that "debit not authorized. Contact issuer". Went to csr, got the small receipt.... Just bought $5500 from simon this morning ha

Both my wife and I got shutdown today as well. I hit it good back in the day of VR's and CVS, but when that got shut down, I slowed considerably, as I hate Wal-Mart. I've averaged maybe $1000 a month in loads for myself and my wife, since then. I typically use the check writing system to pay people like our house cleaner and pet sitter, things that can't be paid by credit card. This will affect Wal-Mart, with all the ancillary spend. Then again maybe they'll fix all their Kates!

I think my last BB was not shutdown, the other 4 were.

The one that is still open was opened only in December I think.

Looks like MOs are my only offloading technique now. I luckily loaded 5k on the 6th, just in time. I have several bank accounts but all those MOs will get suspicious eventually.

:(
