Anyone Reloadable Netspend not working?

[RobWin]

Thanks Laurie. I will call them. It was only $10 and it didn't give me a negative balance. The casino was 3Dice and they immediately gave me a $15.00 bonus chip.

I will still call because I could have had a lot of money charged twice, not just $10.

Hope it all works out for you!

Now that's the way a Good Casino operates...No Doubt, No BS !!!

Ive hadda buncha NetSpend cards. Ive got two now. Once I reloaded $500 at a ck cash place. They said it didn't take and they were putting it thru again and "please press YES" on the electronic POS thingy on my side a the bullet proof glass. When I got home I had $1,000 balance. Woo hoo! I went back in there a week or so later n the lady said I owe $500. I left. Went to a different ck cash place, bought a new $9.95 NetSpend card (yes Visa only - only noobs dumb nuf to git a MC for online gaming don ask me why) circular-filed the old NetSpend but did not cancel it or call it stolen - just dumped the card - problem's solved! I don't owe NetSpend nuttin. Never came up on subsequent cards even tho the lady at ck cash place #1 said I have probs. I've posted ad-nauseum on the wonders of NetSpend ever since first joining CM. Never hadda problem, really. Now, if casinos have double billed me -maybe they have and I never realized but it was never enough that I noticed if they had.

PS NetSpend was - in the not too distant past - listed specifically as a deposit option in many online casino cashiers. In fact, they still are at 3Dice Casino f'sho at this very moment as we type! So the fact that we use it for casinos don befront them NONE!

Are you saying you spent the 500.00 dollars they put on the card in error.

...........thats what i was thinking also last night. when i read the post.maybe he will come back and explain a little better, i just couldnt spend something i wasnt entitled to in good faith, i guess different strokes for different folks

Yeah bally, they don't care. In fact they told me that they had some of these "ghost" charge issues with the casino spots. Since the double charge happened and it was straightened out, I haven't had any further problems with the card.

I agree - Also could explain the card Co. trying to recoup losses such as this.

 

[pacers31]

One thing I would do though. When you go to load the card ask for the current balance before adding funds. That way if there is a neg. balance, you can opt out of the purchase.

Oh man

I got a card but after reading these posts about double charges I'm afraid to use it. After all that and 9.95 later back at square one. Someone shoot me!

I have had no problems w/ my card - I actually think it's a great way to fund my gambling. I put on just what I want to use ( no way to get carried away as I use to when I had been using my bank debit card) I too am worried about getting charged double and will ask every time I load what my balance is. I still think especially for us gamblers in the states is a good way to deposit.

.....it has always been good for me also, i have never had a problem with it until now.

I have only had one problem with my Netspend card and it was western union that did it. I was trying to fund my ECO card and western union decided that I was trying to send money to fund terrorists and wouldn't let me but they charged my card anyway. But the Netspend folks were very nice and helped me get this straightened out that day.

That said, I keep a very close eye on my balance, checking on the computer daily to make sure everything is OK. I got double charged by 3Dice once and it was 3Dice that did it not the card. They reversed the charges immediately and I had the money back the next day.

I have been OD once or twice when my AOL charges come in and I forget about them. But just a little bit.

Maybe these charges are like the pay at the pump charges. They charge you $50 no matter what amount you put in (if it's under $50 of course) and that charge stays until the real charge goes through and then it drops. Learned my lesson about this on a trip one time. I make sure I go into the station to pay to avoid this mess.

Hope you get all this straightened out.

This situation absolutely sucks for you, and really for all of us in U.S. its getting harder and harder to get withdrawals and now deposits are getting rarer.

 

[pacers31]

I know Mom, it's a real catch 22. Play where they pay quick, but you seldom win anything (3Dice), or play at the others and wait forever to get your cash. Damn if you do, damn if you don't. It's gotten so bad for me at 3Dice that even the video poker is taking me out quick. I just won't play the slots there, don't care for the wicked "variance". I'm playing less and less at 3D as the bloom is coming off the rose for me. Also, they used to send me little bonuses, but since I won 1K on VP, not a word to be heard. I trust them, just can't win anything usually.

So let me see if I have this straight Annie...You were using your Netspend Card to purchase a Western Union Wire Transfer in order to further fund your ECO Card ???...Huh ???...

Why wouldn't you have just used the Netspend card itself to make a deposit at the casino ???

 

[bernynhel]

Are you saying you spent the 500.00 dollars they put on the card in error.

Uh...yeah. I didn mention that part? Y'see my HANDLE? Y'see my AVATAR? Naturally, if I had spent it AT ALL, it MUSTA been a, whadjoocallit?
ERROR? Yeah, error! That's the ticket!! :Angel:

Been using my card for onling gaming for over two years. Never a problem. Ever. Have two cards now and have gone through 6 or 7 cuz I lose them alot. Only cost $9.95 to replace and any balance on a lost card was always transferred free of charge. Once I didn't realize I'd lost a card and it must have been gone almost three weeks and when I replaced it and called NetSpend the balance was still there and was transferred to my newly activated card. If there's a double billing prob I'd consider the casino/s involved and stay clear a them before I'd dump my NetSpend Visa. But hey, if you just wanna be shot, nuff said!

I checked my Netspend balance today and it is showing a negative balance of $111 and some odd cents. Transactions that have posted in the last few days are showing as still pending...or is the casino double charging me? All 3 transactions are from the Jackpot Factory Casinos. I'm hoping its not double charging...and hopefully the pending charges will "fall off" soon. I have emailed Netspend and will PM David Brickman to make sure that I am not being double charged.

I think it would probably be wise to keep a close eye on your Netspend accounts. I have had my Netspend card for over a year now and have never had this problem before.

I'm curious are these net spend VISA or Mastercard that are being double charged or is it both??

Im just surprised the 500.00 would not follow on a new card - You say in the past your balance on lost cards were forwarded to the new card. Does this only happen if you mention past cards??

i used netspend for a while now and i noticed this week i was charged a extra 49.98 cents. i checked my account and did not make that purchase so i called netspend and they said the merchant was the same merchant i had made my other transactions too. well it was a casino. i emailed the casino and they looked it up and said yes it was a legit transaction. and to not call netspend first because they could lock my card because of a gambling transaction. i still dont know how i got charged the extra money since it wasnt a transaction i had made. only thing i can think of is i miscounted my money on my card and had pending transactions . i still dont know how all this happened.

 

[Mousey]

What a mess....

This weekend, I intend to spend the last few dollars on my card for a purse -- from Card Player.com LOL It will be interesting to see how that purchase pans out.
