Neteller card not available anymore

[Pokerhunt]

Hi guys,

could not find any info on this, so made a new thread.

Received this mail from Neteller:

The third-party provider for the NETELLER Card has very recently advised that under the rules relating to the Cirrus/Maestro Network, it can no longer support those branded cards. This affects your NETELLER Card.



Important dates
Effective immediately, you will not be able to withdraw funds from your e-wallet to your NETELLER Card. However, you will have until May 2, 2007 to use the funds that are already on your Card.



To avoid possible inconvenience, we highly recommend you use all of the existing funds on your Card before this date. After that time, we will credit remaining funds back to your NETELLER e-wallet. This may take several business days, but we assure you that your funds continue to be safe and secure.



Other withdrawal options
In the interim, you will continue to have access to the following withdrawal options based on your country of residence:

• Cheque
• Bank transfer
• Member wire

Please sign in to your account to see which withdrawal options are available to you.



We regret any inconvenience and are working hard to provide new card services to you as quickly as possible.

So what do we do now? :-(

I cut my Neteller Debit card up a few months ago. It was actually a very sad day. I suspect many here also did the same thing.

I threw mine out the window when i was driving, neteller is a lost cause, i just hope epassporte doesnt fold......

What about Non-Americans though?

I got the same email and I'm in the UK, is there any reason for this to effect anyone outside the US?
