So, an IRS Special Agent just stopped by...
No, not a Revenue Officer, a Special Agent… you know, the ones with the
guns an handcuffs? He stopped by my house, unannounced, to ask me some
questions about some banking transactions which have come to their attention
. For the past few years I have been using our favorite miles-earning debit
card to purchase money orders at our favorite retailer. Apparently
depositing “several hundred thousand dollars” over the past year does seem
to catch someone’s attention.
Once I explained the basics of what I was doing and why, the matter appeared
to be resolved in a few minutes – it was clear I was not laundering money,
which is their concern of course. In fact, the Special Agent’s response
was that they are seeing this (debit cards with money orders) “more and
more these days”. The IRS agent did even mention to me that the T&C of the
debit card do not allow for MO – the T&C didn’t use to, but apparently it
does now.
YMMV... "

It's not BS. Here are more details:
I was not home when they stopped by, they just left a business card in my
door. I did call my CPA before I called and he instructed me to not give out
any personal information but I should call to first find out what they
wanted to discuss and I could follow up with any questions. They didn't ask
for any personal information and once I found out all they wanted to know
about was the money orders I was glad to explain why I was buying money
orders.
They did asked where I learned of this strategy. Intenet And if I am using
the miles Yes.
No, it's not a Vanilla debit product. If you don't know what debit card I'm
talking about please use Google for 5 seconds.
Here's a pic of the business card:
