So far our Bluebird cards are not shutdown (knock on wood), but many are getting the notices over the last two days that they are no longer able to load anything at all to the Bluebird Amex.
Bluebird was our method of building miles and maxing out our Chase Ink Bold and Ink Plus cards for 5X office supplies. We bought Visa debit cards through Staples and loaded them to Bluebird via the ATM. We used the electronic checking to pay income taxes, property taxes, house payments, car payments, utilities, and some timeshare fees that require a fee for using a credit card.
I just checked Flyer Talk and saw many people reporting their activity shut down, but Amex said they can still use the funds in their accounts and when the funds reach zero, the account will be closed.
We have about $5,600 left to load this month and hope it still works today and tomorrow.
It was fun while it lasted.
