walmart money card GE money bank, Green Dot 3-10 days to replace an expired card with a locked account 11 days and counting, Internet

I have recently been using Walmart MoneyCard . I have this card to make online purchases. (I prefer not to use my bank debit card online or to charge to my credit card.

Today I pulled out the card for a local purchase ($15.00)and was declined. Seemed weird  but I just used debit card and carried on. I knew I had money on the card so I stopped in Walmart to inquire about the balance. There was a few hundred dollars in the account but it showed as blocked.

I called the number on the card and was told it was blocked because of "multiple questionable small transactions". (turns out they were songs I had downloaded on my phone. Microsoft Zune) I explained the charges and was told by the rep that my account was on hold for 10 days and then I would be sent a refund of my balance and couldn't have another account.

I was shocked! I asked to speak to a supervisor and got another person who was of no more help. After much debate and my anger rising I finally was put in contact with someone higher in the company.(This one could speak good English).

I explained the situation, then he researched and was 'sympathetic' to my situation. He admitted I had done nothing wrong but company policy mandated the outcome and he could do nothing for me.

I proceeded to ask him what good was a company policy that slaps the face of a customer who has done no wrong.

Nothing will be done and I'm not holding my breath for a refund but will monitor the status. Walmart owns a significant amount of shares in Greendot so if Greendot doesn't want me as a customer, then I choose never to do business with Walmart. For a few transactions (legal, not shady) of a few dollars, Walmart will lose a couple of thousand dollars a year in business from me. I know it won't affect them at all, but that's how the free market works.

Why WOULDN'T you expect them to put a hold on the account if you never received your renewal card? I mean, the first copy could be in anybody's hands and you think it's a BAD idea for Greendot to initiate a hold on the account? Are you seriously this dense?

I just don't feel secure not knowing if an outstanding deposit has posted, in a "regular" bank account, when I know the funds are in my account, within an hour.  It just costs more money to have a "regular" bank account.

How can you generalize like that and call all people who use Walmart Moneycard losers.  I use the same card and I am definitely not a loser and neither is the person who originally made this report.  You don't know the person or people whom you are referring to and by calling them losers you are just calling yourself a loser as well.  People have many reasons why they are using this particular card and not a real bank account.  Before you make a comment, you need to think what the ramifications will be by making such a comment.  Think before you speak, Mr. Steve from Bradenton (USA)

Thank You

People please help me stop Karl and his crappy Poems.

to make money on these cards, in my opinion.

If you 'Google' this- WHO OWNS THE FED?, and go to the site with the 5 charts, you'll be able to see that GE (General Electric) appears in 'Chart 3' and in 'Chart 5', correct?

Since the Federal Reserve is owed billions of dollars from companies like Bank of America, and they're obviously having a hard time getting that money, it appears that the FED has teamed-up with Walmart to make money. We all know that Walmart is one of the BIGGEST companies in the USA, right? It makes sense that the FED would team-up with a company like Walmart to make money on Walmart's customers, wouldn't you agree?

You can 'Google' this- BIG BANKS RESUME FORECLOSURE PAPERWORK, and watch that interview on the web to see that Bank of America owes the Federal Reserve a lot of money, okay?

Simply boycott Walmart and any company that is linked to the Federal Reserve.

Guess what? JP Morgan is named in 'Chart 1' at the above site with the 5 charts, right? Now type in 411913 at this site and look at who's named in Ripoff Report #411913 for taking out 'secret life insurance policies' on its employees! JP Morgan Chase!

Now 'Google' this- WALMART WANTS YOU DEAD, and watch that video on the web, and ask yourself this question: Why would anyone want to shop at a store that takes out secret life insurance policies on its own employees so the millionaire executives can make even more money?

Now 'Google' this- BANK EXECUTIVES PROFITING ON THE DEATH OF EMPLOYEES, and read the article that says JP Morgan Chase has $11 Billion in these secret life insurance policies on its employees.

You see, BIG companies like Walmart and JP Morgan Chase (and the Federal Reserve) are NOT 'for' the little guy. They're out to 'SCREW' the little guy, wouldn't you agree?

Good luck to you!

The bottom line here is that you just need to stop being a loser. Stop using services marketed to losers. Open a regular bank account at a local bank where you can walk in and speak to a real person and get your issue resolved.

In recap, don't be a loser and your problems like huge fees will go away.

OUCH!

How much do they charge to get to talk with an English speaker?

How much more to actually resolve your problem?
