    Whenever I spend money, I like it 'cause Netspend would text me and it would show how much I spent, where I spent it, and how much I had remaining. They were also positive when I had a question about my account a couple of times. They would explain it to me and I'd understand. It was always good.

    My experience with Netspend has been good so far. I haven't had any problems. Netspend has better options than the other ones. It has low overdraft fees. It has certain free ATM withdrawals and free money transfers from one to another. I like that you also get your direct deposit two days ahead of time. However, they have this $5 thing every month that you have to pay and it comes out of your money. Sometimes I would be short of money because we didn't know. I wish they would stop doing it.

    I would not recommend Netspend to my worst enemy. They don’t care about their jobs. They are there just to tell you the same thing every time you call them. I purchased a few Netspend prepaid cards and I have tried for months now to get my money from them because they froze them. I have sent them all the information they have requested and they will tell me they have 14 day turnaround time every time I call them, it’s the same thing and I wait another 14 days just to hear the same thing. I cannot get my own money back that I loaded to their cards and it’s very frustrating. I would have never thought that it would happen to me but it so don’t believe the good reviews outweigh the bad ones because it just might be you next time.

    Netspend is as professional, if not more, than any card I've ever had. I really love being able to look on the app at all my transactions going all the way back to the beginning. Two times I tried to buy something that wasn't real and they stopped my payment and saved me from a bad experience. I can tell that they value me just as much as I value them.

    I use my Netspend card when some place requires a card to pay a bill or when I order something. I was a victim of identity theft twice. It was a bank card and a bank credit card. So, I chose not to have one and just use prepaid cards when I need one. When I checked balance on the card, besides the fee for using it, it was not correct. It was less than I should have had in there. They were supposed to put the money for a wrong prescription back on the card, but it didn't happen right away. It took a while. But it got straightened out.

    I've been with Netspend for about five years. It's a good gig. The only thing is I'm an online shopper, and if they catch something that's out of my spending gig, it's a hassle because they shut down my card. Also, I usually have to deal with a foreigner. I got no problems with foreigners, but I can't understand them and they can't hear me. I had to deal with team at Netspend when I was at the liquor store and I needed a drink, and they were like, “Oh, God, Brett. Your card is denied!” I said, “Run it again” and then I went outside and called Netspend. The only thing that upset me was it was a foreigner and it was gonna take forever, so I was like, “Okay. I made that charge. Just put…” and he said, “No, you already told me that you didn't.”

    Other than that, I'm on Social Security and if there are 31 days, I'll get paid on the 29th of the month before. It's always like that. I get any time alert. If somebody happened to take my card, it will pop right up, and then I can see where they are and it will tell me how much was spent and at what business. Netspend is always there for me, and I promote them.

    I got a couple of cards with Netspend. Each one of them helps me pay off different bills. I travel a lot, so one of them is strictly for when I spend the money, to save up for when I go out of town. I use Anytime Alerts. I get deals all the time, like when I load money. Or sometimes, people owe me money, they'll cash it into my Netspend account. Sometimes, when my boss has a chance to do it, they'll put it on my account. However, I had times when I needed to talk to somebody and I couldn't get through. It would take forever and a day. It would get on my nerves, especially when I was trying to take care of business.

    Everything has been nice. My Netspend card was breached a couple of times, and they got right on it and sent me a new card. I'm glad to have the card. We went on vacation to see one of my sons graduate. After we left, we went to a dinner and I gave them my American Express card after dinner was over. The guy went in the back and stayed a while and we were wondering why he was taking so long. But he came back and he gave me my card back. We came up to Richmond and about a week later, I was at Home Depot buying some stuff on a Saturday morning and somebody was using my card in Anaheim. A rep called and let me know. Luckily, I have a Lifelock.

    Recently, I bought a part for our LG dishwasher and I used my Netspend card. Somehow the part got lost, and they’re still looking for it. When I went to the parts store where I purchased it, nobody did anything to sit down on the whole deal. So I had to call the corporate office this morning. I got it straightened out and I hope to put my money back on my Netspend card.

    I have a pay-as-you-go card that I got through H-E-B and I use that a lot for my online shopping to avoid fraud. There are quite a bit of fees when you do a credit or debit purchase. If those fees are lowered, that would be nice. Other than that, I like the convenience of NetSpend. There's always an ATM nearby that takes the card. Plus, the customer service they provide is amazing every time I call in like when I need to get a balance inquiry or I'm not able to get into my mobile app. I recommend you get a NetSpend card right away.

    The features of NetSpend like anytime alerts and account transfers are very convenient. I go to Walgreens when I load my card. Something happened with the loading of the card one time. I loaded the card but it didn't show me that it was loaded, so I had to call customer service to see what was the problem. Another time, I had to call them because I wanted to check on why we have to be charged when we load the card and when we use the card. So they explained that too because it was the type of plan that I have still. Now, when I use the card, it's a charge. The fees are not that significant. But, those small fees can add up. But they're fine because I don't use it that often.

    For starters the card and banking isn't great. Other places such as dave, chime, and greendot offer better options. They charge you monthly charge and still you get charged stuff like at the atm I get charged $3.50 from the atm and from them but if I don't pay the monthly subscription then I also have to pay every single time I use the card. I have been with Netspend for over 6 years now, at first I didn’t mind it because I liked the card I had, it has my son and niece as a pic on it and I liked the fact I got paid 2 sometimes 3 days early, but everything else was not so likable.

    Ever since then issues left and right, they block transactions I make and make it hard for me, the ones I don’t make they let go through and then I have to dispute them. I had asked them about one of the transactions made on my card. It was only for $2.99 and I told them I did not think I made it. All I wanted them to do was let me know what we could do about it. I didn’t go into the dispute thing, I just wrote them a normal email. They blocked my card, canceled it and sent me a new one. I was so pissed because I needed to go and do some shopping. I needed stuff for the next day. I called and told them I did not want to block, It was not frauded and they refused to turn it on. I asked them if there was a way to get my money out so I could use it and they told me no I had to wait for my card.

    This is not the first time I have had to deal with bull crap from them. One time somebody had frauded my card for $150 and they canceled it which was fine because they had actually asked and confirmed with me and I said yes, but then they did not make it clear that I had to send some stuff in and then call them on a certain day so then I ended up having to wait almost 6 months to get that money back because apparently I didn’t call them with information on a certain day, and when I told them that they didn’t tell me about what I had to do they argued with me and said too bad basically.

    Once I get my money off my card and I am switching all my stuff to my new card and I am done with Netspend! I am canceling my cards and I’m done. I know some people have a better experience, but in my opinion you can get better options elsewhere. For instance, try chime. It is a better card, they don’t have all these crappy fees and they help you build credit and they have something that helps you so you can borrow money and then pay it back out of your check. My opinion that right there alone is already better than this card.

    I really like Netspend. The nice part is that I get my Social Security check way early. I've had a few issues but they get resolved. A couple of times, I've had to have new cards because they found an issue they didn't like. They closed the previous one out because they thought it was not like me to do transactions like those they found. They were right on top of it and let me know.

    I have to wait for the new card but the nice part about it is that I can still use my account. If I need money, I can transfer it to a person who has Netspend. My daughter has one and so does my son-in-law. They're very on top of things. Using reload locations is also very convenient. I don't have to run to find a place to put it on.

    My experience with Netspend has been positive. I bought it to use for online purchases and paying my bills online. I have the Anytime Alerts. They're very convenient. I go to a store and load it with cash. One thing I am finding inconvenient though is, when I first got the card, it loaded instantly. Now, I have to wait 30 minutes for my funds to be on the card. But it's easy to find a reload location. There are two stores here in the small town I live in that I can reload at.

    I just give them the cash and then there's a load fee of $3. Then I swipe the card. Then I've got to wait 30 minutes for the funds to be on. Usually, I'll get a notification telling me what my balance on the card is before my load, and that the funds will be loaded in 30 minutes. I contacted them one time to reactivate a card because my original card got called up for fraud alert. And they caught it, and it was not a payment trying to be made by me. We cancelled out that card and I ordered a new card. I got my replacement card back very quickly.

I tried both online and on the phone to get it corrected, but was told by both parties that they could not do it. The other one should. This is the first time I have had so much trouble with your Company and am considering dropping the card. Can you please straighten this problem out????

    The services provided are good, but when I run low on funds the $10 dollar padding doesn't help out as much lately. Times are harder now. But overall the services are good. A friend told me once about opting in for a $100 padding, but I'm not sure if this is still available for NetSpend customers or not.

    I have a card that was either stolen or misplaced that has a balance of over $3,000 but do not have access of it due to me not remembering an old telephone number. Also, I had two different cards in which when I was asked for the telephone number for one card, I was told that that was incorrect and had to call back again. I am left with no satisfactory outcome to this situation.

    I've been a Netspend customer for 7 years. My payroll is direct deposited into my card account. On July 18, I had a fraudulent charge come through from Brooklyn, NY. I immediately called and canceled my card and requested a new one. On August 4th, I attempted to buy something on Amazon, and my card was declined. Upon calling Netspend I learned that my account was blocked due to an attempt to charge $1K at Target in Brooklyn, NY. I live in Delaware, I have never even been to Brooklyn NY. I again canceled my new card, changed my password and went about my day. About 4 hours later I received a text that ANOTHER ATTEMPT was made and WAS SUCCESSFUL on a VIRTUAL CARD that someone went into my account and created. 2 more charges in Brooklyn, NY were allowed to post effectively draining my account. Total charges almost $700.

    I called several times to resolve and filed a dispute with the fraud department, at which time I was told in 10 days I would receive a response and a credit. After waiting 10 days, on August 18th, I went into my account and saw that my claim was closed with a status of "No credit Issued". $700 worth of LEGITIMATE FRAUD CHARGES and my claim was closed and I did not get my money back. When I called to find out why, the reason I was given was that I "did not make sufficient attempts to stop or report the fraud". I feel like I am living in the Twilight Zone! I have notes on every phone call, 3 different cards canceled due to fraudulent charges, an email that I sent documenting everything, and my claim was STILL denied. I have never even been to Brooklyn, NY. I asked to speak to a fraud supervisor and was denied.

    I was told "the protocol is for customer service to send an email to the fraud analyst that handled your claim and they will call you in 10 days". Another 10 days to wait and most likely be told I am not going to receive my credit. I have been a good customer. I have a good job and make good money. I am educated. This is unconscionable to me that money is allowed to be stolen and the bank does not protect nor make their customers whole again. They are FDIC insured. I have filed a dispute with the BBB, the FDIC, the FTC and I will be posting this information everywhere I can so that others do not fall victim to this Company's shady business practices.

    Updated on 09/21/2023: I already have had problems with them. They wouldn't let me access my own money. Now I get send a new card even when I told them I did not want one. I just want a check sent with my money. Now they want me to supply more personal information. One thing they "need" is my current paystub. Now this is a prepaid card! Why do you need that for me to access my own money? They have already ripped me off over $100 that I had originally put on the card. Now the remaining, I STILL cannot access. I don't have a paycheck. That is why I need my money! This company just keeps ripping me off time after time. So the original $150 I had put on there is suddenly around $40 without me EVER being able to access my account. They took my money! They won't give me a check. This is such a horrible company. Such a SCAM.

    Original Review: I purchased a Netspend card. I did not activate or use it for over a year due to it being saved in my wedding items. I attempted to activate it online. The online site would not let me. I tried the phone system. It would not let me. I had to talk to customer service. They said the card was restricted and could not be used. But it had over $48 on it. They did not even need my name to offer me this information. In order to lift the restriction, my name, address, telephone number, email, and social security number were requested. I gave the information. I was told that I could not lift the restriction and access my money that I had put on that card without sending in my social security number (I had just given that to them), a copy of my license, and proof of address. This needs to be mailed in. After that, there is a waiting period before the card is unlocked.

    This information in the form of paperwork is not required to use a new card. OR I can give them money for a new card, without needing this proof. The money from this card would be transferred to the new card. Pay them and no information is needed. Just give them money. Do not pay them and send in paperwork and wait until they feel like allowing access to money. If they feel like it. I do not feel that this is acceptable.

    I made a payment for my rent w/ my NetSpend Skylight One card, it had gone through, then was returned to me. I didn't think much of it at first because by the time I noticed it, I had been paid again by my work. I made the payment again for my rent, being sure that it would absolutely go through this time. To make sure, I called the number on the back of the card to let them know I authorize that payment for my rent. It went through & I have a screenshot saying it had been processed and "paid". My wife, being pregnant & a little paranoid about the rent now, decided to check the rent website again and it showed that it had been returned yet again. So I took cash out that day & would take the remainder out the next day to pay my rent in person, not wanting to risk being evicted.

    The next day my card & account were frozen. When I called customer service, they said it was do to suspicious activity. I explained to them that I was simply trying to pay my rent & needed access to my account because I also had other bills coming up. They said they could not unfreeze it & I would have to get a new card in 3-5 business days.. it took 9 days to get here. I activated the card & when I tried to use it, it was declined. After being on hold for far too long I was told that that was the wrong card & another would have to be sent to me.

    I'm now 2months late on my rent, about to be evicted, school is about to start & I haven't been able to buy any school supplies for my kids. My electricity is also about to be cut off, but NetSpend can't seem to unfreeze my acct. Just goes to show they don't really care about customer service. I know these cards are supposed to be convenient and hassle free but this experience just goes to prove that WHAT'S CONVENIENT ISN'T ALWAYS WHAT'S BEST. Will definitely be looking into what legal action I can take.

    Netspend's a good debit card. I get my money a few days earlier. I mention it all the time to people. They won't charge you if you go to their ATM, but they will charge you if you go to any other ATM which I understand. The problem I have with Netspend right now, and I'm not sure I'm gonna keep it, is that every time I make a purchase, they charge me $1.50. They're charging me to use their card. I can revert this back to a bank account, get a credit card and never have to pay a fee at all. I've also had to change this card a number of times because of fraudulent activities on this card. There was a $175 charge but Netspend investigated and put it back on my card. But I don't know how these transactions occur. Nobody has this card but me.

And inside the app, it has a tracker of my spending habits. I have the Anytime Alert. It lets me overdraft with a small fee. It's decent. And the All-Access lets withdraw up to $100, if need be. Also, the card has fraud protection. They would ask me If I made that transaction. I have to give them the date, and the amount of the money that was taken off. It would take no more than a week for them to fully do their investigation. They get back to me. They send an email. They send alerts. If after they do the investigation they find out it was not me, they would reimburse my money. I referred a couple of friends and family to Netspend. It's a good card.

    I'm not very happy with Netspend. I got a loan through Utah Title Loan, and they put the money that I got on the card. I paid the loan off, and there was a $100 balance, which was put back on the card. It's 21 miles from where I live to where Utah Title Loan is, and we were leaving that afternoon to go on a trip with my daughter. She had a conference and I went to sit with her baby while she was in the conference. By the time I left Utah Title Loan and got home, the $100 was gone. I put in a claim against it, and Netspend came back on me saying I paid a bill with it. They said it was denied because they have the proof with my name, my phone number and my address with the bill. I said, "No, I didn't. How am I supposed to do that from 21 miles?" We just automatically got up and left.

    My son-in-law said if I go to a gas station and get something or use the bathroom and I have a credit card, they skim it. I was told that's probably what happened. Somebody skimmed my card and used it for their own personal use. I don't even know the company Netspend paid the money to, and that's what's bothering me. I resubmitted the claim, and it's been over a month and a half, at least, since, but I have not heard a word back from them.

    It upsets me very much, because that's $100 that I didn't even have. The kids grouched at me and said, "Well, you said you had money. We wouldn't have brought you if you didn't have any money." I said, "I did, I had $100." Netspend was good and I was very satisfied up until this last point. My son-in-law put some money on the Netspend card a couple of times. After what happened with the $100 though, we decided, if I get a loan through the title loan again after I get this last one paid off, then we'll just use it for the title loan, because we have another card that I can use.

    Netspend is good especially if you don't like banking. The only problem I'm having is releasing the money. But when I call, it seems to work okay. They're making sure I understand the daily, weekly, and monthly waiting periods. If I get so much money, then I have to wait. I can't get the rest right away. There is a daily amount when you give money to other people. It doesn't count when you buy things, though.

    The Anytime Alert is good because I like to know where I'm at and how much I got in my account. Sometimes it's easy to get through to a representative but sometimes it isn't. Sometimes I don't have a good connection here where I'm at. That presents a problem because all it does is the circle keeps circling around and it doesn't get to show me how much I have in my account. I also got two cards and I can't check my two cards. They only listed one. Maybe they could all be connected together. But I've had some problems and they seemed to be getting them solved. The people at Netspend are also a lot better than the people at Chime. I am able to talk to them. Because with Chime, it is rough because of the protections they put on their account.

    I'm liking Netspend. So far, so good. I like that I get paid early. However, the first issue I had was I swiped my card and then somebody made a purchase on my card. They were really prompt and got my money back. Then, I signed up with this text alert. Every time I swipe, I want to see my account balance. When I first got it, everything was working well. However, I hit the Azulos account by mistake and ever since then, when I swipe, I can't see what's on the phone. I called them and they said they were gonna send me a link. But I don't know if it's my phone. I missed that part. So, if I want to check my balance, I have to call the automated system.

    Netspend closed my account due to a suspicion. They didn't even discuss it with me to let me know that they were doing it. They told me that they sent them to the people for a reason and I’ve never heard back since. I've been trying to get that account opened so I can continue to use Netspend, but the reps say they can't open it. When making a check deposit, I take a picture of the front of the check, put the amount and send it on the Netspend app. They’re gonna verify from their bank to my bank and if it clears, then I have the money on the same day for about a $10 fee or I could just wait the 10 to 12 days and get everything free. But that was great on their part. The Anytime Alerts is good. It lets you know if you're using the card or not or there's somebody else using the card.

    I do a lot of online shopping. So, it's safer to use a Netspend card than use a normal debit card for me. The thing about Netspend is if they find any funky business going on, they'll notify you. If they determined that fraudulent activities happened, they will help you get your money back or reimburse you. Using my Netspend card makes things easier for me. The Anytime Alerts notify you of any suspicious activity. So, if there's any suspicious activity, you can go in and lock your card or call Netspend and suspend services on your card. Then, they'll send you a new one.

    Now, I do everything more smarter. If I put $250 on my card, every time I make a purchase, I got a text stating how much I spent, if it's pending, whatever was going on that the money is being held or pending. So, I always know how much money is there. Also, another thing I like about the Netspend card is that it's just better because it's not linked to your banking account. If something happens, you're taken care of. I love Netspend. I like the ease of being able to make purchases without worrying about major withdrawals coming out of my banking account. I do reload. I go to my local CVS or Walgreens, and I'm able to reload fairly easily.

When I moved into my place, my rent was due, and I'm glad the landlord cut me some slack. Also, when you call them, you gotta wait to be connected with somebody live to talk your problems and not an automated service which I don't like.

    Wow, never have I experienced a more terrible customer experience from a company. I am not a customer; I received a card in the mail addressed to some unknown person (probably a scammer). All I wanted to do was report the issue and have my data removed from their system. This proved to be extremely difficult. First, I tried email support, but they requested the card number over email, which is hugely insecure and a PCI compliance violation. They recommended that I call their customer service, which is an absolute maze of menu options with the apparent goal of making you give up. I did not give up.

    I finally found an option that would allow me to speak to someone. This person was largely unintelligible. They requested that I read back the card number to them, and I asked them if the call was being recorded, because that is PCI compliance violation as well. They sounded unsure. They put me on hold and eventually responded that they "would do what they needed to do" with the account. I asked them where they got my data: No coherent response. I asked them what I should do with the card: They didn't know. They apparently have no protocols for 1) Dealing with fraud, and 2) Complying with payment card industry requirements. The FTC should shut these guys down yesterday.

    I went to cash my check and I said that I wanna get a prepaid card. The reps told me to fill up the application for Netspend and said that it was not gonna be just a free card. If I qualify, I’m gonna have access to have an account. The lady gave me good advice. I said that I was gonna need the card and they gave it for free. I try to take care of it and I have it in mind now to open a savings account with the same card. I got the direct deposit and it’s very simple. I just call the customer service any time I need help. I can recommend Netspend to all my friends. I had a wonderful experience with them.

    Worst customer support, just took my money. I bought a Visa card from QFC store but it turned out it's tagged with NetSpend which I was not aware of it. To activate the card, I entered the card number, and security code. At last I was asked to enter the pin number, I did which I thought it's to set up as it's my first time. But I kept getting "sorry we couldn't verify..." bla bla from the automated phone systems. What the ... this people are talking about. It's my first time and I should be asked to set up my pin number not to verify it!! Then I called to the customer service 10 times and couldn't help me. What they knew is just transferring me to the automated phone system. Asked the supervisor. She is also knew nothing. It seems like all of them are collections of nothing. Now trashing the card since I lost the receipt. This is the worst situation which I need to carefully check the card I buy in the future.

    Netspend is an excellent company. The service that I receive from Netspend has been phenomenal. Whenever I had a problem, they resolved it automatically. I've always had a good experience with them. So far, they've been great with me. They have recently had some employees that were doing some things that were not good for banking. But I've been with them for several years. They treated me as a client. If I have a problem with Netspend, they have a corporate office that you can call. I had a problem with Lyft. Someone used my Lyft account while I was at work. There was no way I could have been riding in a Lyft. Netspend went in, reversed the charges, and gave me a temporary credit. They have investigated rightfully. But whoever the employees were with Lyft, as soon as they realized that they had given me the thing, they went back and they tried to reverse it. I contacted Netspend again and once again they went into action for me.

    If I swipe my NetSpend at Walmart, Target, or anywhere, I'm getting a ching ching on my phone alerting me to exactly how much was taken out and when. When I paid my IRS payment, they made sure that IRS got my money. Even after the IRS called me, they sent me a statement confirming that I had paid all my taxes. Somebody who had my phone and stole my information made copies of all my IRS statements. She tried to divert that to her bank account. When I called the corporate office, I spoke with Eric. Then I spoke with their customer service rep and they said, “You have nothing to worry about because we have clear evidence that that payment that you did every week went directly to the IRS, and they were paid in full out of your bank account.” And that's what you call good banking. With Netspend, you also get your deposit two days early. I recommend them to anybody.

    I thought Netspend was gonna be a good deal at the time but it isn't. They charge me for every little transaction. The first time that I used my card, they charged me, $3 or $4 to make a purchase, through every purchase. But it never said anything like that through the information. I went through most of the fine print seeing if there were gonna be any hidden fees.

    If you swipe your card and hit debit or credit, it's still gonna charge you an X amount because you used that card. It doesn't make sense to charge somebody that much money for every transaction. If you had $3 on your card and you went to buy something for $1.50, it would tell you that you had insufficient funds and would instantly take whatever money you had on your card. I had all kinds of problems with it. I would try to set up direct deposit through my work. That was a grueling process. There was one time I was missing $10 out of my account. I had no previous transactions because I called and checked. But they couldn't figure out where the $10 went, and they instantly went to cut off my card.

    Netspend is horrible. There is no communication. It's be super hard to understand the reps. They aren't paying attention. I would tell them my exact card number, they would read it back, but they would be missing two to three numbers. I'd go slower, but they would still get it wrong. It was always frustrating that was why I stopped using it. I turned off my direct deposit for my job and threw the card away.

Another thing is if I want to set up an account with my insurance company and on a certain day, they're supposed to take money out, Netspend won't let me take money out. Also, they keep sending me cards and I don't understand that. I keep getting a NetSpend card every so often. I'm happy with what I have though. Other than those, they don't give me any problems when I want to buy something. If I send a friend money via Bitcoin, I have no problems. They let me buy my Bitcoin and we're off. Unlike when I had an account at a different bank and I had to jump through hoops just to buy a Bitcoin.

It's really great for income taxes and things like that and having the option of going to a store and put money on the card is great. Also, if I have questions, customer service is 24 hours, which is great because I have a crazy work schedule and I have a three-year-old son. They've been really patient and kind with me. They walk me through my millions of questions.

    One time, there was a charge on my card that wasn't me. They handled it and sent me my money back. They were very nice about it. It only took three days to get a new card. Then, the second time was I was trying to get a new debit card because my old one had expired. They were really fast. They said my card should be here within a day or two and I came home that night and the card was in my mailbox. They're pretty honest when they tell you something.

The only problem I'm having that I can't get resolved is I can't get my card mailed to me. I'm using a card that does not have my name on it. I have called Netspend and they assured me that a card would be coming to my mailbox but there's still no card in my mailbox. I can't order a card because online, it won't let me put in a PO box because it has to be a physical address. But I cannot get mail at my physical address. When my Netspend runs out, I'd have to go back to the gas station and buy another Netspend card. But I'm still checking my mailbox every day, hoping that one day, I'm gonna open it up and my Netspend card with my name on it is gonna be there.

    I reload very frequently, usually, at the dollar store. But it is a little annoying. Speedway in my area is now Rebel and I can no longer reload at the old Speedway location. But BP gas stations are everywhere in the town I live in and I can't reload at any of those locations. It would be very convenient if I could go to a BP gas station.
