Green Dot - holding my money hostage

I have had issues with your card since day 1, as now as I browse the internet, I see that others have also had the same issues with. Therefore, as soon as I am able, I will be cancelling my account and finding a more reputable establishment. I requested a replacement card on 11/26/08 and have still not received it. When I called today to say I wanted...

Green Dot card not accepted for purchase

We purchased a Walmart money card / Green Dot. Finally got it activated and tried to purchase an item on the internet, and was refused authorization.
What is the solution for this problem? My life stands on hold because of this problem.

Green Dot premier rebate

1. Comcast tried to put through a payment of $230.05 on Nov. 1, 2009. It failed six times. We had the correct information because I called them ALOT of times. Comcast won't try again and I don't blame them. 2. The money had to sit until the 12th when I could withdraw it. But a fee came out immediately for the monthly billing. If it had been paid when it was supposed to be paid, there would not be the deduction at the time.
3. I have to wait for my card to arrive in 7 to 10 business days. Nov. 1, 2009 to Nov. 14th, 2009. I may get it today we will see. Today is Nov. 14th. The representative I spoke to said that it could come on the 17th too. (So much for 10 business days). I am unable to get my cash back until I get the card.
4. They have told me about the "premier rebate" four times now. I have yet to find it. The customer service rep this last time, told me that they were having system problems and to wait for 2-3 hours and it should work. I have rechecked with them each time on the address. Well, I still haven't found my $10.00 rebate web page.
I am soooooo disgusted with this company. I am telling Krogers what I think of their prepaid cards. They don't want to be associated with them! It has been nothing but a big fiasco. What a mistake I made in picking them.
Thank you - Crystal R. Connelly

I was given a greendot online card as a gift this x-mas with what I thought was a $50.00 balance. When I called to activate the card I was told there was a $19.95 fee for activating the card but a $10.00 credit would be issued back. Once activated I called for a balance check to my surpise the balance was $30.10...hmmm. So I took the card to a local clothing store to buy a pair of slacks, the card was denied and again to my surprise the available balance was now reduced to $20.10. I called greendot's 877 number and had to go through every menu option to figure out how to get to a human being. I was then told that I signed up for the "premier" card and there was a fee associted with doing so...hmmm? Needless to say I exploded, I do not feel sorry for the wrath that the poor rep. took from me. So all in all here's the math on this. Original card purchase $59.95 (cost of the card and credit applied) available balance before making 1 transaction $20.10 thats a profit to greendot of $39.85 not bad work if you can get it. Maybe I'll have enough left to buy a cup of coffee in a couple of days.

Green Dot greendot premiere rebate

I purchased from RadioShack a GreenDot Mastercard. After paying the fees, and etc. 29.00 taken off for Premiere Account. A rebate should be available online for ten dollars to credit the account. However, as others (I have read about online), it is not possible to obtain this. There is no such website and it is probably a scam, and it needs to be set right!

Money, these days is even more precious.

Green Dot bewarebeware!!!

I purchased a green dot card, and money pak card to load them to do my hotel lodging. Needless to say, using green dot was the biggggggest mistake of my life. I put money on the card to pay for our hotel, and had cash for our vacation activities and food. Well, I had to go into our food and activity money since I did not have lodging as done trying to use the green dot card. Buyers also beware of expedia, I originally booked through them and they messed me up and this mess up with green dot added to making my first attempt at a vacation for my two daughters a major mess up. I am a single mom, and wanted to do something special for my kids. Thanks green dot and expedia, you made our trip unforgettable but not in a good way... I will never use either of the two again, and vow to warn each and everyone that will listen. ~buyers beware~

I'm not sure what your complaint about Green Dot is either. Before booking a hotel room you should always try ask the Hotel what's their policies and what types of cards they will accept or not. I will be staying at a Hotel in ATL in a month, I made sure to call the hotels I was interested and ask them if they would accept my GreenDot Pre-Paid Debit Visa Card. I already have the Hotel I wanted got all the details I needed, and booked it.

Ok...so you had a bad vacation. But what exactly happened with the Green Dot card? Did they take your money? Did locations refuse to accept the card?

They charge a $4.95 per month service fee - as it clearly states not only on the original card that you purchase at Rite Aid or wherever but also in the terms of agreement when you activate the card!
The card is only good for two years. Even if you bought it, activated and used it once the most the service charges could amount to would be about $110, nothing to sneeze at but certainly not "outrageous" for two years of service!

Green Dot fee abuse

I purchased a preloadable Visa card from Greendot.com at the grocery. Normally I use fixed preloaded cards, with no problem but these were not available in amounts over $100; and on-line companies insist only one card be used. The Greendot card cost $9.96 and I loaded it with $150. to use on-line. I did read the fine print. I used the card to make the purchase but within days asked for a refund. During the refund process the month changed and the card (after only 10 days possession) acquired a service charge of $4.95 deducted from the balance. I knew this would happen, it was not their fault. Soon afterwards I made my purchase 0f $107.94. I then called and canceled my card which showed a balance of $37.11. When I received my check it was for only $24.96. According the the fine print, if canceled within one month there would be no cancellation fee. Obviously I missed something which authorized them to charge me another service fee of $9.15. I could dispute this but since telephone contact with a live person is virtually if not actually impossible it is not worth the money to discover why, let alone correct and get a refund, of this amount. I held this $9.96 card for one month and paid $14.10 in additional fees for a total user cost of $24.06.

On a positive note, I later found a Preloadable ($20-200) Visa called "The Ideal Gift" at Safeway grocery which has no monthly fee for a year and it sells for only $5.96. If purchasing an amount more than is loaded you need to know what is on the card and have them ring that amount exactly or it may say the card is empty, but this is a small matter. (www.giftcardmall.com) Why mention this card - because it means greendot can not justify their charges as normal.

"The ideal gift card" is not so ideal. We purchased one for our Son to buy gas for driving cross country. Every time he used it at the pump, it authorized $75 even though he was actually purchasing 16-40. Call to their 1-800 number and they agreed it does that, but is in the fine print. It is not. They said he should go inside each time. So he did that, same issue. Another call. This time they said he has to ask for exact amounts, so he cannot fill his tank, just guess and get close. By now, all those $75's have depleted his account until 24 hours goes by and they start to convert to the actual amount.
Then on day 3, the card stops working completely and when I check it online, it has actually removed 2 of the most recent gas charges! Normally, I like free money, but figure something is terribly wrong. I call and get put on hold for 15 minutes with their awful scratchy music. Finally I fit * to try to break through and get disconnected. I try to call back 3 times, but just get a quick message about the call volume buffer and it goes silent, but does not disconnect. I hung on in silence for 15 minutes each, nothing. Hours later, I try again, get the scratchy music and a person. She checks and just says all is good on their end and with the card, just try it again tomorrow. I ask, if the card is still bad, how can he get a new one with the remaining balance in Arkansas? They can do nothing, only send me a refund check in the mail and deduct $10 for their trouble. You charge me, for your broken card, I ask? Yes, that is our policy.
Thanks, thanks a lot.

Watch out, their customer (no) service reps lie to you on the phone, which could leave you in dire circumstances, like me. They will illegally block access to your money based on the CS robot's lie. Their 'Stepford' customer service is appalling. The reps have no idea what you are saying...they can only read words from a prepared form. That pause after you ask them a question...is them looking for the answer on the form that may or may not have anything to do with your question.

The CS rep named 'James' ( they all have these American names ) lied to me so I would stay with greendot.com . I now have no access to my money. They put an illegal block on my funds. I can only speak to or email CS in the Phillipines. I have tried to contact Corporate in Pasadena at [protected], but you cannot talk to anyone there. The 'masses' are redirected to CS, in the Phillipines, where the nightmare began.

The money that green dot illegally blocked access to was for necessities, like food. If I have to, I will drive down to Pasadena (after borrowing some money for gas and a sandwich), alert the press, then go to Corporate to get my money...or to, at least, borrow a few bucks from the very-well-paid leader of this cult, Steven W. Streit.

If you can't drive to Pasadena, then contact your State Attorney General ( Kamala Harris in CA ) and file a complaint. File a complaint with the BBB if you want, though they appear to be biased. I won't bother doing that. Wasted enough time on this nonsense already.
Also, if you live any where in the Bay Area, contact Michael Finney, consumer advocate pitbull, at KGO TV in San Francisco. He WILL get you your money back.

I got this card for online purchases, I bought the card at CVS and at the time of the purchase I placed $300 on it, now they have no record of me placing money on this card. So after calling customer service they said they will investigate by calling cvs, to make sure I actually put $300 on this card. It takes a day to find out anything from there. I have the receipt This company is a fraud and I will be reporting them! I should have just bought a American Express Gift card! Who needs the headaches!

Green Dot is fine until you have a problem. I loaded money onto card and paid bills. 3 of my payments were double charged I guess due to glitch and as a result one of my credit card payments was declined and that credit card closed my account and I lost an $800.00 credit line. The credit card company told me that if I could get a letter from Green Dot explaining it was their fault and not mine, they would consider re-opening my account. Green Dot said they wouldn't do that. It was their error and they refuse to help. Run far away from this company. As fast as you can.

Greendot is a scam...PERIOD! This company is backed by its own private financial institution and is exploiting the system by charging people a fee simply to make a deposit to their bank. Then they get a small fee from merchants every time the cards are used. Of course, these fees are then passed on to every consumer because they are included in the price of the products we all buy (just another way bankers are destroying the economy). Greendot also uses the daily balance that accrues as an asset instrument that can be leveraged against, and thus they can lend out 90% of whatever people deposit into their bank. This is why they will never refund the money in a timely fashion. You put cash on the card instantly, but it takes two weeks to get the money returned, even if you realize that you have purchased the wrong card and immediately return to the store and attempt to exchange it. You also cannot use a Greendot card to purchase a Greendot card (total scam!). The reason Greendot has such despicable customer service is because they are not actually offering anyone a product or service, they are only offering ACCESS TO A PRODUCT OR SERVICE. If they were truly intent on offering a service then there would be Greendot stores all over the United States. Now, since they are only offering access, this enables them to wreak havoc in the market by assuming a great deal of risk, but not actually taking responsibility for that risk. This means that they specifically target those people who are generally needy, such as young people in college who need help from parents, or low income people on welfare or social security who may not be able to get a regular bank account. Or people who are criminals or fleeing from the law. Or simply somebody who just needs a way to purchase something online but doesn't have a credit card, or can't qualify for one. Any company that is designed specifically to take advantage of the devaluation and degradation of any system will naturally be run by criminally minded ###. Just as unfortunate is the fact that the majority of vendors are all too happy to oblige these companies because it guarantees them a piece of the action. This then ties up consumer cash to the extent that the Federal Government is willing to subsidize the operation because this allows them to keep tabs on everything, and can stick it to the people by dangling a carrot in front of the retailers and banks. The quid pro quo is alarming, and other more reputable companies such as Paypal are jumping into bed with Greendot but refusing to honor their pledge to clients when something goes wrong, as it so often does. GREENDOT BELIEVES THAT THEIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS PRECLUDE THEM FROM LITIGATION, BUT THEY ARE SORELY MISTAKEN. I WILL BE FILING A SUIT AGAINST GREENDOT IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, SO ANYONE WHO HAS ANY INFORMATION THAT THEY BELIEVE WOULD BE HELPFUL YOU CAN WRITE TO (bloggerdoc@hotmail.com), SINCE, WHEN I AM FINISHED TAKING THEM TO TASK AND SETTING PRECIDENT IN THE COURTROOM, THERE WILL BE THE INEVITABLE CLASS ACTION SUIT PENDING. TIME TO SEND THESE PEOPLE TO THE CLEANERS. I DO NOT INTEND TO SHUT THEM DOWN, JUST FORCE THEM TO COMPLY WITH PROPER BUSINESS ETHICS AS OUTLINED IN THE UNITED STATES CONSITUTION. GOOD LUCK, ONE AND ALL.

received a greendot card as a gift. when the automated phone system asked for my social security number, that was it. i hung up. it's not worth the $100 gift to have my identity stolen (presuming i could access the 100 bucks!). now i wonder whether i should tell the person who was nice enough to give it to me. i suspect it was something he didn't want either.

When i checked my dot acct it shows 2 trans and no money left. WTF! then the CS rep said 2 weeks to clear after i screamed at the Indian she said 2 days, still WTF! If it is declined due to bad zip or other info then it should not hold up funds... Getting rid of the thing after i get me cash back.

Green Dot store needs to be taught how to sell them!

3 out of 4 times that I go into the cumberland Famrs on River road In Stafford Springs,Ct.06076 They are unable to sell me a reload card. I have to end up traveling to get a reload. I feel that the green dot should now be offered in this store if they do not know how to do it! Today the store manager was there and they could not figure it out... Thats SAD!
