    Unfortunate news, but good to see that gCard cares enough to replace the current card with a new one.

    I got the same email :(
    Means we can't even load money to the gcard. That sounds real bad! I was going to withdraw some money later today but now ..... :(
    Lets see what they come up with. They had a huge setup of Gcard (number of users as well). It won't be an easy job for them.

    What happened to the world ?


    Similar news from accentcard.com
    "Late on Wednesday 3 January we were notified that the card transaction processor was not able to emerge from bankruptcy and as a consequence have been forced to shut down. What this means is that for the time being all cards cannot function on any system except for ATM withdrawals. No card loading or card to card transfer can take place and no new cards will be activated. If you are a current cardholder, you may withdraw your remaining balance"

    Maybe it happened just because of you lol

    @ Domnom it looks like there is some loby (rule/whatever) active against such card services. I was hearing this from past 1 month that some US law will be implemented that will affect Gcard (not sure about other services). Maybe that's the reason caused trouble to these card services.

    gCard isn't dying, as they said they will replace the current cards with a new one soon, so yeah things should be back to normal in a bit.

    Today only i got a mail from them
    I guess they are good..
    But many times it is being said that VMI heaven is Over.. So do not have surety on it.. People have to take the risk..

    I will think of trying them but not sure though coz i heared once pp flag the account if vmi is used...
