Anyway, rep says for unauthorized business activity and they will send me a check for the balance that is still on one of them.
OK. I didn't find this out until after pruchasing a new reload card. So now what do I do with it? I'm afraid to load it on my 3 remaining cards now.

Green Dot has always had a note in their Terms of Service indicating you can't use the card for "business purposes" -- regardless of the business you have. Recently they've started enforcing it more than usual, meaning they close your account and refund the money in it, and then bar you from ever registering with them again. Most ladies have been able to fly UTR with using a GD card to purchase ads and frequent hotel rooms/flights, but it appears these are now much more likely to set off flags with the powers that be.
As far as what to do with the reload card you already purchased, that's a good question! If you still have the receipt, you may be able to get a refund from the store you purchased it at. Even if you don't, check with them anyway, because they may be able to work with you. Or you can call GD customer service and see what they recommend (but as you've probably noticed, they're not really known for their excellent customer service).
As Lisa mentioned, thankfully there are other alternatives for pre-paid cards. Western Union has one too. I've not used it personally, but have heard good things about.
There ya go, guys. Now you know what we actually talk about in the PR. Riveting, ain't it?
