Netspend activation fee?

[redfawn]

Hi, does anyone know if the allaccess gift card dropped their activation fee? The last 2 times i went to buy a gift card i havent been charged the fee. The 1st time the lady said..hmm thats weird, it didnt charge the $5.95 to activate and just gave me my card after i purchased it. Then yesterday i bought another and there wasnt a fee with it. Just the amount of the card is all i had to pay. I know the reloadable ones cost $2.00 to $5.95 to load and then netspend will deduct a further $9.00 once it is loaded. If the gift cards dont have a fee anymore than i will buy those instead lol.

I have no idea. I wish I did. All I know is I can't use/find them anywhere. I usually go to a check-cashing place and yes pay the $2 fee ​

I load mine at the mobile gas station near my house and they always charge me 3.95

I get charged a fee loading my reloadable card but the gift cards now are sold at both safeway and albertsons. Albertsons for the last 2 times i bought mine i havent been charged an activation fee. If i buy a $50 i pay just $50 or $100 if i get that amount. Sure hope it hasnt been a goof lol. I like not having the stupid activation fee's tacked on.

I get charged $1.50 to load my netspend at the cash checking place.

woohoo! Just called Albertsons and was told they no longer charge a fee for the all-acces netspend gift cards AND you can now buy them with your debit card! This is only for the gift cards. It was if i bought a $100 gift card i had to also pay $5.95 for activating it.

Good to know just wish my Albertson(acme) would stop acting like I have 2 heads when I go in there and ask about netspend or all access.

Thanks for the heads up though. One day I will overcome! LOL

OMG so it's not me lol

LOL you too huh!

I even tried asking netspend why they are listed and shoprite (zallies) They totally keep missing my question and redirecting me to the payment location links! I gave up. Check cashing hours are a pain....lol
