The card was rejected twice and so was another card I tried until she realized what hadn't happened and corrected it. I got my 2 MOs, but had to check which of the first 4 cards wasn't processed, because I had stuck them all into my pocket together.
I have a system so I know what cards are used and which one is not. I keep the activition stickers on the cards, and once I get the approved screen and the BB is loaded or MO is printed, I take the sticker off. I also have one pocket I have the cards in, and the other pocket I placed the used cards. So once I get home, I shred the used cards. This has cut down on any confusion of what cards are used and not.
