senator7,
Yes, I believe that the easiest way is to get those visa gift2go cards. Go to your local walgreens & look for the yellow giftcards. The only problems is that they come in 30$, 50$, and 100$ values. So there are a couple problems w/ this:
1)If you're looking towards a hefty deposit, you are buying a lot of $100 giftcards.
2) It is actually harder than expected to find these cards. Sure, walgreens sell these cards, but you'll be surprised how they are first ones to go. (Personally, I had to go to 3 different walgreens to get 500$ worth)
3) I'm not sure this is w/ all Walgreens, but they want you to pay in cash for the gift cards. Just bring the cash in case, if you can't buy it w/ credit cards.
The best way to put the money in your account is to call them up directly. They are very helpful, but so are all customer service when it comes to depositing. Reason why I say call them directly, is b/c.
1) They put it directly in your account.. it took me maybe 10 minutes to put in the funds.... using 4 100$ giftcards and 2 50$ giftcards..
2) You can ask them to reimburse you for the extra fees that are tacked on to giftcards... ( I believe it is a deposit of over 250$... I put in 500$ and it came to 529$ and some change.) You ask them that you had to pay the fees, and they'll put in instantly.. no hassle at all
3) If this is your first time depositing, you just tell them tell that you've been reading up & it says you get a 20% bonus when you deposit up to 500$ & up to 10% for anything over 500$
I hope this helps... I'm not sure how the w/drawal process is... since i've started this last week....
The money was instantly in my account after I called in... it was faster calling them and giving them the gift card numbers than it did to actually finding these cards... The thing that got me weary was that I gave them my account # & password.. not sure if that's how they usually do it, but that was pretty shoddy...
oh well, g'luck to you senator... (sorry for the long reply)
