Virgin mobile Stash card program is ending.
I received a letter from Virgin Mobile Stash cards, alerting me that their debit card program is ending.
If you have a Visa debit card account through them, you need to be prepared for it to end.
You will be allowed to load funds onto the card until May 1, 2007, and be able to make purchases until September 1, 2007.
If your account still has a positive cash balance after September 1st, Virgin Mobile Stash will send you a check for your balance.
If you are currently getting your paychecks direct deposited to your Stash card, you will need to alert your employer or other paying source, of the last day money can be added. (May 1, 2007)
You will need to have your direct deposit info changed to another bank or source.
None of this information is posted to the Virgin Mobile Stash website so if you haven't gotten a letter from them yet, consider this your heads up.
If you need an alternative direct deposit debit card, consider signing up for Paypals.
They offer 1% cash back on purchases made when using the card as credit, not debit (not entering a pin).
You can also use your paypal debit card through your mobile phone to pay for purchases, send money to someone, or donate to charities when out and they take paypal.

Well, that sucks, but what can you do?
But I
my PayPal debit card. It was too much of a pain for me to have to wait 3-4 days for them to transfer my paid blogging money to our regular bank account. I use this card all the time now, and the 1% cash back does add up!

Well I still have my Amscot pre-paid master card credit.debit, which my SSDI gets direct deposited to. I used the Virgin one for fun stuff. bills on one card, fun money on another. But it's ok. I have the paypal card now too, so I can just have bills on my Amscot, and fun money on Paypal. It still works out very well for me, and you're right, 15 cash back adds up very fast!

I got that letter, too, so I just decided not to even load the card. I wonder if I'd qualify for the Paypal one....I have a decent amount of money in my account there.

Try it. It accepted me no problem. I think you have to verify accounts or something, agree to put a paypal button on your site, but it was easy enough.
