If I buy a temporary myvanilla card with lets say $100 cash. Then I go activate it. Can I reload that temporary card with a vanilla reload? or do I do have wait for the permanent one?

I bought another 2 cards today and tried activating them, but My Vanilla refused to allow me to do it. They said I was using their cards the wrong way and offered to turn it into a gift card (not able to cash it out) or refund me the money (which would take 3-4 weeks). They said I was cashing it out right away, which is not their intention for the card.

Dan, question for you. Can Waelgreens (or any store) say that VR cards are payable with cash ONLY? Is that legal?

Had no problem cashing the MVD cards at Chase. The teller said she doesn’t know of any limit, so I will go after I purchase enough for my $5,000 spending threshold.

I live in Lakewood, found the MVD at the CVS on New Hampshire and Rt 88. Bought 2 cards for $500 each. They said the $5.00 extra bucks was only for a different kind of Visa gift card (says so in the ad). I had a real difficult time registering and activating. I also found the VR at the Waelgreens in Howell, but they limited my purchase to $500 and it had to be paid for in cash (which did not help me). Tomorrow I will try to cash it out at Chase and will let everyone know how that goes.

If i deposit $1000 from my vanilla reload into my bluebird account- does this work like a regular bank account? ie- does it show up as “making $1000″. Maybe i dont want my bank account to show a constant flow of cash…

@Dan i need your input: after i did $500 cash advance, i called mvd to see if i had a balance…i did, a negative $1.95 balance on each card for the cash advance…do you think i should ignore it, or because they have my ss# from when i registered the card, i should pay it off so as not to hurt my credit…please advise

Robert said:
The max card with a SSN is 3. So If you signed up for 3, you can no longer sign up any cards with that SSN. This is a dead end.

Dan replied:
@Robert:
Maybe, maybe not

Is that a hint that Dan did not put in a legit SSN or knows some other hock he is not letting loose?

i went to myvanilladebitcard.com. signed up for one will get it in the mail 7 – 10 days. click on get started select dont have a card now. this is good for people living in brooklyn that cant find the card with reload option. you reload the card online. this way also saves u the fee when u purchase from a store. please comment to tell me if this is the same card

i purchased multiple cards and had 6 of them active @ the same time and had success making a $500 cash advance @chase tho when i wanted 2 activate another card it didn’t allow me 2 so i canceled 2day 3 empty cards . just nerves about my credit being that they have my s.s. & when i checked my account b 4 closing i sew there was -$1.95 4 the cash advance i wonder if when i close it leaving that there dose it effect my credit?
