One Vanilla MO problems...
Hi folks. Today I tried to purchase some MOs using One Vanilla cards. The first transacation was for $2K. the first three cards went thru fine. The fourth woudn't work. I tried two more OV cards, but neither would work. Had to bust out a "real" debit card.
Went to another store and tried to purchase MOs with some other OV cards. None would take.
FWIW, I purchased 5K of OVGCs in a single transaction. These are the cards I was trying to use.
Has this happened to anyone else? Did the Vanilla company recognize these unique numbers were all just purchased moments before, on a single transaction?
This has been my typical MS pattern with no problems before today. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

When that happens I reset the PIN online, then go to my local supermarket and buy something under a dollar and set a new pin on the pad. Then go and buy the MO.

Not sure on timing, but typically OVGCs need about 2 hrs after purchase to be fully activated. I've had the same problem as carsonheim when trying to liquidate right after purchase. A couple OV cards work but a couple didn't. The non working ones worked the next morning.

I seldom ever wait 2 hours...I typically leave with cards and unload all within 30 minutes tops
