Congrats on your Vet status Wuzz :)

Thanx Star. I didn't know it would be near that much fun. ECFs software messed up and didn't take leap year into consideration so it showed me as a vet all day. It wasn't supposed to be till 8:30. Upset the whole thread when admin told them it's going to take a while to straighten it out. Everybody is going to be a day early until they do. They had to change the whole calendar and notify all the folks on it by pm. I was the supposed to be the only one but they had to change the date on another guy who was supposed to be tomorrow. I just felt bad for him because most of the day was based on my theme and he got shortchanged. Then I got to go to a few places on ECF I couldn't get to before lol. Really fun day. Vet status doesn't mean that much to me but it was nice to find out there are a lot of others on ECF as friendly and helpful as Volties

Argggh! And I just ordered the old passthrough batt! Ah well, that's okay too, I guess. :)

I got a PT coming too ! Should be here tomorrow. Once I get off analogs for good , I think I will get the NEW batt/PT thing.
I have some Cartos coming too and cant wait to be the official VoltJay.

Good morning to ALL.

After reading this stuff about credit card theft, I went to Walmart and got a card.
They had two to choose from: One's a Visa (with a Visa logo) and one is a Walmart MoneyCard. After reading the jacket on both, I couldn't see any difference.
I got the Walmart one, so I'll try to describe that experience.

The card costs $3 and you can fill it at the register. KEEP THE RECEIPT. You'll need it later.
Next, you can either call a phone number or go to walmartmoneycard.com. I did the website.
You are asked for the card number, the activation number (it's on the receipt), and your SSN.
After that, you are asked for your mailing address and other info.
You can create an account on the website in order to track your balance and stuff.
You are also asked whether you want direct deposit from your paycheck (no thanks).

The card is now ready to use. This is a temporary card and cannot be refilled. Walmart will send you a permanent card to use. Takes 7-10 days to get the permanent one.

They charge $3 per monthly service fee.
It costs $3 extra to put more money into the card if you go into Walmart to do it.
The card can be used anywhere Visa debit is accepted. From what I can tell, this is no different than the other Visa card I looked at.

That's just my experience. Please read the jacket of the card before you buy.

There was one slightly scary thing about this experience. When I filled in my info on the website, I didn't mention being married or anything. When I went to log in, there were questions I had to answer. One of them was "What month was your wife Susan born?" That kinda threw me. How they got that info, I don't know.

Wow , not sure I will go this route now. But I thank you for the info. I will either pay over phone or Check from now on.
