Obopay - any problems with them?

[LorieR]

I just signed up and am requesitng the prepaid Master Card. They are asking for my SS# and I am a bit leery about doing this..... Anyone have any feedback on this? Thanks !

I was leery too, so I opted to link it with my secondary checking account instead. (I have a balance of $0.82 at the moment, so I'm not too nervous about losing any money.) Google and a search of the DIS both turned up only positive reviews, however, so you should be OK.

The only problem I've had with them is getting my $15! It's been over a week and three (or four) calls to their CS line and my account balance is still zero.

Anyone else have a problem like this?

How did you get $15? Just curious. The link I went through was $10. I got $5.

I called as soon as the withdrawal's hit my account and I put entered them on the site. They told me they would add the $5. I THOUGHT they were going to do it immediately. Nope......next day I called back. The gal told me it takes 3-4 business days because it has to be credited manually. She told me if the other $5 is not in my account by Monday afternoon, to call again.

So......I'll wait until Tuesday and call first thing. I'll let you know!

The link through SR was for $10 and Obopay offered another $5 if you verified your account with your mailing address and drivers license number. I went through the whole process and received a message that there was a "problem" with their system and to try again later. Apparently there was some glitch in the site and it screwed up my whole registration.

I have emailed and called Obopay over the last week and a half and still have a balance of $0. I called again yesterday and left a message. This morning I had an email from them saying they would keep my trouble ticket "open" until the matter was resolved. Uhuh.

I haven't had any obopay problems, but I haven't gotten my SunshineRewards credit yet. I think I'll give it another couple of days and submit a trouble ticket.


It is kind of ironic because this is the one offer that I was actually interested in the product.
