i've had this card for at least two months and just used it this morning, i'm not sure what's going on but i don't need this. I'm glad my balance was down to $172, and I didn't put any more money on it. If it activates, I will be getting my money off and they are in for a big law suite!!!! - Pissed - posted 34 months ago

I thought It was just me doing something wrong when I went to use it in a Rite-Aid. I only use credit but was told my pin number was invalid. No luck with contacting them either. Busy signals all day. How can you get your money if the website is down as well? - Ann - posted 34 months ago

I bought mine at Albertson's ($500) and kept the receipt. I tried to use it today and it wouldn't work. I closed all my bank accounts over a year ago because of stupid fees! This is the first time in a year that I have used anything related to a bank (have a checking at a Credit Union). What was I thinking? The only thing I do at my bank is cash checks! JOIN A CREDIT UNION, PAY CASH AND SCREW EVERY BANK THAT HAS BEEN SCREWING US FOR 5O YEARS! - RJ - posted 34 months ago

This paypower card is a complete scam. I got it 3 months ago as a gift with 50.00 on it, I registered it & it will not work. It has been taking 5.95 per month as a maintenance fee. It finally gave me a pin. This is complete BULLSHIT, NO customer service, just a SCAM. - Ken H - posted 34 months ago

I should have checked into the services of this card . It says ANYWHERE a visa debit card is accepted ....NOT TRUE.
I believe thats called false advertisement .
I went to redbox and it would not work so I tryed to register it on line and it would not let me get past the zip code so I put in the zip code where I bought it NOPE it would not work so I called and they do have customer service they entered all my info in and then they wanted my social security number NO WAY IN HELL I am going to give someone that info for a PRE-PAID card I am very pissed .
THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU will definately be hearing from me ....If you have a simular problem PLEASE do the same .

I bought a prepaid card and for about one and a half years I could not get my money and they kept taking $5 out each month for maintenance fees $100 or more-BUT I FOUND THIS SOURCE FOR HELP AND i THEN GOT MY MONEY-contact Office of Thrift Supervision,Department of the Treasury,.Consumer Affairs Division,1700 Street,NW,Washington,DC 20552.-Phone:1-800-842-6929,Fax:1-202-906-7342.Call (or write or fax)them--tell them of your situation and they will send you a form to fill out and send back to them - and they will write back giving you a case number-and they told me Ill be hearing from them within 60 days.It seemed LESS than 2 weeks and it was tooken care of.I called the prepaid card company probally-literally-over 20 times -but got all kinds of very very weird responses making no sense whatsover-so contact the above department of the government-and they truly AMAZED me. - - posted 34 months ago

This is a mess! I have tried three times to get it solved. Either they leave you on "hold" forever or their telephone service "breaks up" so bad I cannot hear what they are saying> My card was 30 dollars and after two tries at the market, they say it is only worth 10 bucks now. What a racket!!!!! - Lois Dick - posted 33 months ago

Dont buy this card. If you use it to pump gas for 10.00 for example, they will put a 75.00 dollar hold on your money. I will file suit on tuesday regarding this action.This is a racket that should be looked at by the DOJ - daniel lanham - posted 32 months ago
