OT -- US depositing options for new Stars bonus

[PokerFun007]

I'm looking to collect $125 from their bonus dealio. Since I haven't deposited in a while I wondered what you all consider the best option available as of now. I hear you can use those temporary Visa cards, but that's only $100 I think, so that won't work...advice?

Do you mean Visa giftcards, or something else? I didn't know you could use those.

I just use my bank debit card. Hasn't been a problem so far.

Bank debit doesn't work for me with BOA, luckily I still had $300 in epassporte b/c that takes at least a week to load.



Can you just go ahead and deposit like you normally would? No bonus code or anything necessary?

I had PS IM me this morning when they saw I was having trouble getting my Visa to process. Guy there sent me this site.

All-Access Card

I couldn't really tell what the fees were but this is one of those gift card type things. There is a place where you can type in your zipcode and find out where to purchase it locally. He said to make sure you have them activate your online purchasing ability.

Also, it pays to check any and all credit cards that you have, both Mastercard and Visa. For some reason some banks work and some don't, but just because one credit card doesn't work doesn't mean another one won't. This was ultimately the case for me.

Oh, and EPassporte is pricey IMO. It's $5 for every $100, so basically they are eating 20% of your bonus if you earn the $125 maximum.

Doesn't epassporte only charge $2 regardless of amount after initial deposit with them, as long as you go through your bank account and not a visa credit card?

Just checked their site and it shows $5 per $100 for the initial load, and then only $2 for any amount of a load thereafter.

So you could deposit $100 in day one, and then deposit the other $400 on day two. Then move the $500 into Stars for the $125 bonus, you only pay $7 in fees.

I don't remember exactly what it was but if thats what it says im sure thats the case.
anyway, im almost positive it isnt 5% all the time. that would really be horrible
