    funding issues

    How are you guys funding your accounts? I've had trouble recently, even with the visagiftcards i used to use...
    I somehow got a transfer at 5dimes done this week using my debit card, but I got a nasty call from my bank saying not to do it again or they'll permanently turn off my card.

    Yeah, unfortunately, that doesn't help me figure out a way to fund my account. What are you using these days instead?

    Your bank has some nerve to call and give you crap for doing a little business, switch banks

    Always use ** now. Too much headache trying to use a credit/debit/prepaid card anymore for US players.

    It looks like ** charges about 10% to transfer the money. It seems like the fees plus the juice make it awfully hard to be a winning player.

    Yeah, I had been using the visagiftcards from giftcardmall.com/VC. I can get them in the supermarket here and they had worked in the past without much event (other than having to wait about a half an hour after activation). I bought one earlier this week to reload for CFB, and it got rejected at bodog and 5dimes.

    I somehow was able to sneak in a deposit at 5dimes using my debit card, but then the business with the bank ensued, so now I'm trying to devise the best way to reload my account without running the risk of buying another prepaid card that I can't use...

    That seems awfully high, cost me $16 to to send 300, in addition they paid the fee, i guess it would be hard if you only want to put in like $100 at a time.

    goto g_ld-pay.com. It's a good way to get money in and money out. Still a little expensive, but when you WD, it goes from your book to GP, then GP charges 2% + $2 for a ** or **.

    Used ** this time. Much easier. Now we'll have to see about the withdrawal. What's your experience on the back end, Gryfyn1?

    As long as you get the book to cover your charges, you're fine. ** or ** still the best way IMO.

    I had always used VC PrePaid or Debit Card and it is almost impossible.

    I used ** for the first time and it went smooth. I called 5 Dimes and they credited me the $30 I spent to send $500

    Now I don't have to buy 5 cards and keep them on file
