The true test will be more than 1 deposit without the account being blocked.

I too am in the process of testing the limits of my bluebird account. If it gets blocked, not a big deal since I have numerous other bank accounts waiting in the wind.

I successfully received the trial deposits as well as a $25 deposit from paypal and will gradually increase the amount

I would love to test about 225 but its still on hold with paypal until Monday.

$225? hell no! lol. I would do $50 tops.

Just added $100 (cash) at Walmart tonight with $0 fee.

Good to verify account with bank details and will card work to verify card portion? Could be 2 in 1

You can fill up these cards at walmart, with a credit card right? Seems like an easy way to get rid of prepaid/gift cards?

Yes, I used this card to subscibed to eb store (lower FVF fee with auction).
You can get a card in your real information, then create subaccount with stealth info. You can create a different name, address for subaccount.

Just created a subaccount, address can be the same or different (good for stealth), and phone needs to be different.
Subaccount also has a different card and number.

Does anyone know if you can have more than 1 account with them? I dont mean subaccounts . I mean could i purchase more than one starter kit and use them .

Why you want more than one account while you can create 4 additional subaccounts unless you want more than 5 different cards.
Each subaccount has its own card and number, name and billing address selected on your own.

I believe that user is looking for another separate "bank" account number attached to each sub account.

I made a sub account to see if it would give me another account number (not card#) and it does not. You only get one account number.

Haven't tried to sign up for another totally separate account , but my guess is you can't do that. A simple check of the ssn in their system would likely prevent that

If this is true, thanks for the idea. I will try it out on a bunch of gift cards. I was trying Square but they banned me for using too much "prepaid cards".

I hear you yotano - tried something like that too but not with Square - wonder who backs it - first data?

Not sure why I find something fishy about this bluebird thing. Its sure not to last long.

^ Same here. I just seems really off the ball with this card.

I will have to look into it.

And nothing is wrong with bluebird, American Express is just cashing in on the many millions of people who dont have a traditional bank account, aka brick and mortar bank.

If I owned American Express, I would do the same. Just another prepaid debit card for the masses.

AmEx is constantly trying to up its popularity. Its fees on merchants are a bit higher than Visa and MC so its a constant battle.

Walmart and amex are in bed with this deal. I think this is targeting lower income/college students. Cash your check on Fri, head to walmart to pregame or get supplys for the night, add 300$ into your account. Bingo. Win Win for both. Amex gets more banking users and walmart gets more traffic.

I was thinking of the higher fees though. I wonder if walmart amex fees were lowered because of this....

Well I just loaded $192.42 from paypal onto this bluebird card and it through without problems. I have another $55 on the way for tomorrow. I am liking this new card.

at least I verified paypal through them, but I called them yesterday and asked about opening many accounts on one name, they said no/ one account per name

I was thinking If I close account, can I open new account on the same name and get new bank account ?

you can have ONE "parent account" and 4 sub accounts which means 4 extra cards say for your kids but they will all have the same routing & account #.. Bluebird also only allows one parent account per social security $ it it's only good for one stealth account,

so if your stealth account gets banned which is attached to your bluebird account, just call up amex and request to have the number on your account changed due to unaurthorized usage and there you go, your all set for another stealth account.

Update. I was able to get my account verified as well as lift my limits with the card. Three days later, I sent $30 from PP to it then went for a $160 and it worked fine. :)

PS. Also opened Amazon stealth with, selling 1 item and it is still sitting tight. Hope it goes well. I will update later.

Thanks for the update! Good luck hope it goes well!

Hello,
I have used these new cards on accts for about the last 2 weeks.
I also go to target, they also have a Amex/target card.
It also works on pp just fine.
Good luck!

You use this for your CC verification not for Bank account verification right?

I was wondering about this card. I'm going to use it to verify a PayPal account. Thanks for the heads up.

You use it for both cc and it comes with routing/account number for bank deposits.

I agree with someone earlier. Think this thread should not be public.

anyone used starter card at atm ?

Still working fine, going to try a bigger deposit now of 175

I must say, it's pretty nice regardless of how long it lasts :)

Ive been transferings a couple harder (300+ deposits one shot) Been working fine

can anyone pm me other prepaid that works for paypal withdrw?

Good to know guys!

wow interesting card, sucks that there is no walmart near by but i guess you can do it by mail too

sorry for being a noob, i got me a bluebird card. so what im hearing, and correct me if im wrong please but i can use the sub accounts to be CC and bank account verified???

when im filling out the starter kit info i have to use my real SS.n correct??

And not just real ss n but the original information has to be all true? And on the sub accounts I can use my stealth info?

Anybody tried large deposits? ( 1-3k$ )

You really need to read the entire thread again or for the first time.
