I should also mention, I received my first cashout on MB earlier today, from Pokershare (Microgaming). No problems, no fees, and it did not affect my 90-day limit. So it would appear that what I was told is correct, the 90-day limit is for outgoing tranactions only.

i just registered w/ c2p. the customer rep. i talked to told me that there is no limit on wire deposits. he told me that wire deposit is to prefund the c2p account, whereas cc deposit is to make direct purchase from a site(in our cases, poker sites)

as for details on how you increase your stars, the rep. told me that after 2 weeks, i should be able to increase my limit. since i planned to prefund the account thru wire transfer, i didn't ask more questions but 2 weeks is what he told me.

Well, that's great news on the wire transfers...that matches up with what I was told. Seems like C2P is the way to go for our "high-rollers". My only caveat to anyone in this category would be that if you intend to deposit a large amount on a site, you might want test a smaller deposit first, just to be safe side with the exchange rate and to make sure things go smoothly. I have NO reason to suspect things won't go exactly the way they did for me, but I'd hate to hear someone got dinged a point or two on exchange, or some other weird thing happened. I seem to be the only trip report so far, I guess I'm just a little paranoid. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Ok so both my UB and Party problems with Moneybookers have been cleared up.

With Party it took me emailing my VIP rep and getting him involved for the two deposits I made to be credited to my account.

With UB I called their 'Deposit Help' number five times and was finally able to get it credited on the fifth time, nearly 30 hours after I made the initial deposit.

Time to open a Click2Pay account!

Great news. Did either one give you any idea why it happened or assurance it shouldn't happen next time?

If I remember correctly, you have made a deposit to one or both of those sites in the past and they were credited instantly, is that correct?

Since my deposits were only for $10 each to get things started, I haven't been as proactive as you...just sent a few emails. However, I am becoming annoyed, so I may get on the phone finally tonight.

Bobo,

The way C2P works with credit cards is that you don't need to "fund" your account. Just use your C2P account wherever and if you have a balance, it will use that, if not it will draw from your credit card. I think the fee is 3% as you mentioned previously.

Playboy Poker (Crypto) also accepts C2P.

Correct. That's why I was so mystified when I first set it up, it didn't give an option to deposit by CC. I thought I had explained this previously, but perhaps I didn't, or didn't explain it well.

Gah, I dumped most of my money into Party after getting spooked by Neteller. So I open a Click2pay account, reg my credit card and see that Party needs you to deposit with a C2P account before you can withdraw to it.

Well no big deal right, well no....they don't have C2P as an option to deposit, for me....gah. This blows, moneybookers sounds like crap, it is a total hassle to load C2P via EFT, I'll probably get crushed loading it via CC.

I miss Neteller already.

Just setting up ePassporte...last one I plan on doing.

Apparently, I didn't listen to Roadstar's advice closely enough. They also put a microcharge on your CC, and need you to tell them how much it is. Same thing as Roadstar, CIBC Visa, phone them, and all they could give me was a Canadian amount. However, ePassporte has a spot to put a Canadian amount, and they convert it, so I figured I was okay. WRONG! LOL. Lucky for me, ePassporte gives you two shots at it. I'll wait until tomorrow, then phone again and see if they have a REAL US amount for me.
