I just reloaded @ stars w epassporte, I think it is just a "virtual visa"-ie foreign- that works of your u.s. visa. Bottom line it took 20 min. to set up and cost $100 to get $95 in stars. I should never have to reload again because I plan on winning from here on out!! I'll let you know if any unplanned scams follow...
