My wife just got 2 as presents from co-workers. Not seeing anything saying they’re being discontinued. Everybody is advertising you can buy them there. Though honestly they kind of suck, they’re usually loaded with transaction fees so if you wind up spending the money in bits and pieces you’ll lose a bunch. It would be nice if they were discontinued, but they’re a profit center, so that’s probably not happening.

The article I was thinking of has evidently been scrubbed. Obama was getting millions in contributions from anonymous prepaid debit cards.

I found these related articles.

Perhaps it is. I noticed it just before Christmas when local TDBank stated that they would no longer provide cash visa cards and would honor the outstanding ones for such a time.

Then I noticed that they were not in the stores with the regular gift cards.

They still make money on people that pay off. Just not from you. The business pays for the privilege of being able to process a particular credit card. And they also pay a percentage of the transaction to the credit card company. They PREFER people who let a balance roll and pay interest, often rewarding them with a higher limit more often than others. But they get paid coming and going, they’re not worried about a few people who avoid interest.

Makes sense. I guess I won’t bother leaving any balance on the card from now on.

If that is the case, barter will replace cash.

Guns, ammo, foodstuffs, and precious or useful metals (gold, silver, lead, copper, aluminum) will be the untraceable currency after The Great Reset.

Stock up while you can.

I'm really not fond of any of the Wall St banks, BOA included. They are an organized racket to me.

We need banking, but we first need to rescind the repeal of Glass-Steagall.

Local and Regional banks work just fine without the globalist central banker influence.

Nick has a huge heart for G_d who has gifted him with an enormous intellect for banking.

Yes, Nick was born without limbs and at one time thought to commit suicide.

You won't go wrong by banking with Nick and his close friend Betsy.

Banking is about trust. Unfortunately, the Federal Reserve banks think it's about world dominance at the expense of trust. In case you didn't know, they are the ones behind your decline in living standards buttressing their enrichment, their inflationary powers ON YOU are hidden but certainly hurt you, leaving you destabilized and confused while increasing their take from your life efforts.

Here's a snippet of what they do:

Step 1 Example: 10-yield Treasuries
Step 2 Quid pro quo borrow from Fed Reserve
Step 3 Preferred Client is US Government
Step 4 Deficit spending leading to inflation
Step 5 Mortgage rates.

Note that Step 1 purchase money comes from Step 2. This is why it's a racket, and they know it.

In short, if you are part of the club, you sit at a special computer connected to the Federal Reserve Bank for which you are a ranking member, you input a billion dollar number, click and send to a thousand accounts worldwide. It's free to you at 0%.

Someone might say, "Yeah, but it's got to be paid back in a month!" So in a month you go to that special computer, you create billions more from Federal Reserve thin air, and you rinse and repeat. You service your debt from revenue from Treasury coming from American taxation and borrowed funds.

In a nutshell, as central banker:
