Bitpay Generating Invalid BTC Address (URL addy) Any Ideas?

Hello. I have the Bitpay card and I always top-up/deposit funds from my Blackchain wallet. I always copy the address provided by Bitpay manually instead of using the bar code. I'll have Blockchain open on my browser and just input the info and send and it's always been perfect. Recently when I attempted to deposit/top-up my Bitpay card they started providing invalid BTC addresses for me to send the funds to. They look like this:

bitcoin:?r=https://bitpay.com/i/Lz7BxRPxLWFAF9JGyWyquc

I attempted to do a smaller test deposit sending to this "address" but the Blockchain wallet wouldn't let me because it said it was an invalid address. I then thought perhaps I'm supposed to go to the url portion of it in my browser but doing that just takes me to where I already am at. Without a valid address to send to I can't keep my card funded. Am I missing something or doing it wrong? I've been using them for months and never had a problem until this. I don't scan barcodes and such because I prefer using my desktop and FF to log into my wallets and do transfer myself. Any help is very appreciated. Merry Xmas
