Why are MoneyPaks so popular ? when there are other ways to buy the coin ? Walgreens and CVS has Vanilla , there is Reloadits and some new one jus came out, but as a Vendor I struggle with MoneyPaks since they block and lock me out so quick trying to cash these things. Any reason why the love of Moneypaks over Reloadits ?

Likely because MP's are the most widely available and well known reload card. Lot's of scamming going on with MP's.
-
Yes there is alot of scams with them, thats why I load them to the credit card , then go cash the card at the ATM then send coins , but seems everyone asks do I accept MP , and Green Dot has locked me out of 5 cards so far, MP are jus a pain mainly, trying to get people to switch over to Vanilla or Netspend Reloadits
-
because you can buy moneypaks late at night from every 24 hour walmart - to get the vanilla reloadit I have to get to a CVS during standard busijness hours
-
some cvs is open 24 hours. 7-11 also sells them. i rather buy vanilla reloadit for bitcoins because the fee is cheaper.
-
I've also been wondering how to get around the zip code requirement that Greensnot requires. It's coming to where I won't be taking them any longer.
-
only site I know of that does not require a zip is PayPal , but I hate cashing out there , takes days to get your cash, also after so much action PayPAl will refuse your business there. Green Dot Im not sure whats wrong with them, guess they dont want to make money, they have locked me out of 7 cards now, I have more coming in the mail from different companys, but it will only be a short time before im locked out there also.
Green Dot SUCKS , stay away from them , take it from a vendor they are not worth the hassle. They jus want you to buy there cards , load the cash on there and not cash out. They have so many rules to hurdle it is really not worth the trouble, but everyone loves buying them for BTC
After these next cards get locked up , ill be done wit MP for sure

I was reading on an onion that MP has limits they don't openly talk about.
They don't want you to put in more than $1500 within 24 hours, $2500 within a week or more than $5000 in a month.
I think there's just an education that needs to happen. Start talking about Vanilla more and more and hopefully people will switch over.
-
That is correct Buck , wish we could take MP out of the picture , they dont want to make money at all, wish they would shut down all the way around... I keep pushing my clientel towards vanilla and reloadits
-
hi guys im a newbie , school me to the MP or the vanillas, guess thats how you cop bits right? sort of pre-paid type?
-
goto Walgreens or CVS and purchase a Vanilla reloadit , Reloadit, or Netspend Reloadit place desired amount of money needed on there plus my 10% commission and send the numbers to me, ill cash the reloadit and send the coins to you that simple
-
I feel like they are quicker and easier. I have had issues before with it being locked and some buyers resell their moneypacks which makes it a little more frustrating so I might try different methods of doing business.

Who uses a reload card when you can just use localbitcoins.com??
Shit is SO SMOOTH. anonymous and cheap
-
