Interesting, in thinking about this, all transactions were done in one "transaction". I'm curious if closing out a transaction and opening a new one would be a means around this limit.... not looking to test/ push that, however. I'm happy with keeping this at < $3k per day repeated times per week...

New datapoint - successfully did 2x500 transactions today (success, as of now, I have receipts - we'll see if they flag me later in the day )
I did have one transaction cancelled because with an on screen explanation of "Transaction cancelled - flagged account".
The cancelled transaction was one of the transactions VCOM asked for additional information on last week - so unsure if ALL of the accounts from that transaction (4 in total) have now been flagged in their system and transactions will be declined going forward. The 2 successful transactions I had were for cards (Barclays, Chase) that were NOT part of the payments for the transactions from last week.

I DID send them the required docs though, so unsure why they've flagged (at least one of) my CC accounts...

Some say they have pulled together several days or several cards to reach the $3k amount. It was in the beginning of the thread so you might want to be wary of doing 2k for 5 straight days or something

Has anyone had trouble paying bills with Vanillas? I tried 3 different 7-11s and it went all the way to PIN entry and then said canceled. I thought I might of had some bad cards but I went home and checked them out and they were fine. I tried both Chase and Barclays with 2 different DCs. This was in the SEA area.

Had it happen to me a 30 minutes ago in the SF Bay Area for a simple 500$ transaction. Worked fine last week.
