Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Anyone figured out how the 'week' works? Whether it's 7 days or you can withdraw on Friday then again on Monday? I assume the former.. pain in the ass with so many cards having to login to so many cause I can't keep track of which one was used within the last 7 days or not

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

I work on 7 days and check the online statement for last time I made a withdrawal

How do i retrieve ATM pin Without stealth phone credit?

I read that you only can get your ATM pin by using the registered phone number to sms or call and phone number ID has to show. I read this is the reason why you are required to provide a phone number at point of sale.

In the past. I have actually spent money putting credit in whatever number I registered to just so i can get the ATM pin. I am kind of sick of wasting $10 just to send 1 sms as i generally do not use the number again. Number only used for paypal/ebay and L&G

Is there any other way to get ATM pin without needing to put credit in my stealth phone? Can i sms using any phone?

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

I just put them all under the same number then when I register the card online I change the number for each account.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

A $2 sim will do the trick -no need to register it -just pop it in the phone and you will be able to receive the text. Telstra.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

You have to send the text to get it...

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Aus Paypal does not always release funds after 180 days. I write from experience. I assume they use anti money laundry law to hold the money until ID etc is supplied.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

If you use Stealth information when you register your Load & Go card and it gets restriction you can be required to prove who you are, keep in mind anti-money laundry laws apply to these as well. As Australia Post has an ID verification system which requires you to bring your original documents into the hospital you would need supporting documents that support/confirm your stealth details. As Paypal can not see the details that you register with your Load & Go I can not really see any reason to follow rsot's advice.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Are you able to do bank transfers to the load and go cards?

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

You can load money into the L&G card over the counter at an Australia Post outlet with cash or load online via credit card - but that has been restricted now. I think now when you try to load money into it via your credit card it stops you and asks you to call your ccard company first.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

I didn't -I phoned on the house phone and they sent text to the number

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Hi guys great thread! Has anyone used the bpay option to get money from PayPal to l&g, if so was it instant. Also has anyone tried a virtual phone number to receive text?

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

From what I remember it was not instant deposit -few days. Not done virtual phone numbers. I only buy the $2 sims then phone load n go from a real phone and they text the number to the new sim -does not need to be activated or credit put on it.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

I think it's exactly 7 days. Thus if you withdraw $250 on a Friday afternoon, and the next week try to withdraw $250 on the Friday morning, it won't work. It just says insufficient funds. So really unless you can remember the exact time you went the week before, you have to wait 8 days. Otherwise it's just a waste to goto the ATM and try it.

I haven't tried this yet, but has anyone tried getting out some additional cash when they were at the supermarket with their purchase? Does that count as a withdraw?

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

as far as I know you can not get cash out

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

@craig, you can only get cash out from an ATM and you need the PIN.

You can't get cash out in eftpos machines.
Example... coles and woolies let you get cash out from their eftpos machines. If you try, it would reject the card for cash out. I know because i have tried cashing out from woolworths as it is closer to my home than the nearest ATM.

Only can do it at ATM. sucks for me cos the nearest ATM is 2 kms away but i live across the road from a woolworths.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

How about purchasing gift cards at coles/woolies? Obviously you can't withdraw cash from them but this would be a good way to move money from the L&G to something concrete yeah?

First post, looking to get set up after being suspended from Paypal. So many restrictions, seems it's easier to go stealth than go legit! That's a flawed system surely..

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Has anybody made a new account with these since the 8th of February? I've made several and none of the initial Paypal deposits are showing up anymore? Withdrawals to cards already confirmed are showing up. Originally I thought the L&G site was just slow in updating as it sometimes is but it has now taken way too long.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

No problems here this week (touch wood)

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

So you made a brand new account and the initial confirmation deposits showed up since that date?

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

I made an account couple of months back .Then, a couple of weeks ago (ish) added a card and verified (after 8th feb )and yes I have had the deposits go in. Not sure if that helps?

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

sure did had no problems

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Hmm k weird, I made 6 new accounts between 8th feb to 12th feb, none of them got it. But 2 more I made on the 16th the deposits now came through.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

And they finally updated and showed the deposits, literally 13 days later. Can't believe it took that long.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Main thing is you got them.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Had my L&G card restricted today with a few hundred bucks in it. Card is under stealth details.

Has anyone had this happen yet? were you able to lift the restriction?

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Did you do anything unusual or out of the ordinary to get it restricted?

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

99% chance they just want to confirm you made those purchases, so you simply call them up and they ask did you make 'x' purchase.. 'yes'... okay thanks your restriction is lifted.

When you call and they ask for your card number, don't put anything in and it should automatically take you to a person.

If the number is under a non-working number just edit it beforehand to a working number, that's what I did and no worries.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

you must have done something for this to happen.

Apart from some glitches during February when transactions were delayed, most of the time things are OK with this card.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Thanks for the replies. After calling and telling a customer service rep about the limitation i was told they would investigate the matter and get back to me as soon as possible but it may take 3-5 business days.

I logged in on auspost.com again 3 hours later and restriction was lifted. They didn't even bother asking about any transactions or any extra info apart from card details.

Extremely shocked they just lifted the restriction that easily.There was so much activity on the card. Western union, dhgate, personal use, ATM withdrawals and over loading of the card.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

And you wondered why you got blocked

Keep your fingers crossed they keep that restriction lifted. Your pattern of using that card is not quite what they like.
:faint:

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Definitely aware of how easily these cards get restricted but i am willing to sacrifice one of the cards to see just how much you can do with them.

I thought of calling and asking first but i didn't really feel like drawing attention to the card without even attempting first.

With only $250 weekly withdrawal allowed its definitely a risk worth taking. It was the attempt to transfer money via Western Union that caused the limitation which is a bit of a let down as i was considering using 2-3 of my L&G cards strictly for supplier payments.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

True about the risk - experimentation is good and can lead to some improvement in understanding the methods

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Waste of a resource given the limited Australian ones.

If it was another country maybe.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Anyone tried buying these load and go cards on the auspost website? You would have to give a few details of course but you can buy them with another stealth L&G card online so the only detail you would have to give is an address. Mobile number, Credit card used to purchase card and name could all still be stealth.

Even with the address, the only reason they want that is so they have somewhere to post the card to and the address can be changed to your stealth info as you register the card online.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Yes, I have.

Yes, provided that you aren't doing anything illegal then this method is completely safe. Once again, eBay does cannot match any of the details that you provide Heritage Bank for the card activation, because eBay does not have access to these records.

Personally I find it more convenient to obtain the cards from an Australia Post outlet. That way there is no delay - I have them right away. Also, less paper trail and no legitimate address required.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Pretty sure the whole concept of legality has somewhat been compromised the moment you start selling goods under stealth names and addresses regardless of how legit your products are.

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Firstly, what an odd thing to say on an eBay stealth forum.

Secondly, you are not necessarily correct. Going by an assumed name is not in itself illegal. It is however against eBay and PayPal terms of service.

Luckily for many people on this forum that laws are enacted through democratic process and not by eBay and PayPal executives!

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards $250 withdrawal limits
 

I'm not sure if this has already been covered, but I thought I would mention that the recently imposed weekly limits on these cards is inclusive of any ATM fees. This effectively reduces the limit $240 (unless you are lucky enough to be using an ATM that doesn't attract a fee).

Note that if you attempt to withdraw the full weekly limit of $250, and you are harged a $1 fee from the ATM, the transaction will decline because you have attempted to deduct $251 dollars from your Load & Go account (which is $1 over the weekly limit).

Re: Aus Post Load and Go cards.
 

Suncorp ones don't charge any fee.

Has anybody had any trouble withdrawing lately? Checked the balance and the last time i withdrew was over 10 days ago yet the ATM wouldn't let me get anything out.
