These cards no longer earn fuel points.
TIP:Purchases of $500 or more require manager override. You will hold up the line and risk getting shutdown: Hint: $495 + $4.95 fee = $499.95
As of July 16, 2014, cards are not PINable(again) without registration; calling to activate sends to representative. Before Feb 3 2014 and after ~ Mar 17 2014, a PIN could/can be set for one-time use.
The Univision Prepaid Mastercard can only be used for credit card transactions*, not debit. Debit/PIN requires SSN registration for enhanced use. This is a standard restriction for this type of card.
*ask the cashier to enter a partial payment amount if your transaction exceeds your card's stored value, otherwise your card will seem broke/inactive.
Enhanced use reports...
The Univision Prepaid Mastercard is product from The Bancorp Bank.
Until 3/24 you could load with VR. Just like with the PIN working, not working, then working again, keep trying with VR and if you succeed, please report here.

- VR reloading now seems broken
- Cashover(cashback) available with debit purchase at some registers

I bought 2 cards before I read that they are not PINable again. Now I'm looking at the best way to liquidate them without SSN registration.
1) Can I use this card to pay Citi over the phone? In the past I always set pin for temp card and it worked.
2) I guess, I can liquidate them via Evolve, right?

... and still the automated system passes you directly to an operator -- and thus no PIN (unless you fully register).
Oh, and yeah... still no fuel points either, 'the glitch remains fixed'. Thought I'd give it one last shot since it was the new month, and, now I've got zero points.

What can I do with this?
Not a newbie to MS here. Still have a working VR source, been through the gamut with MVD, cried over MetaBank/WM severing the detante.
BUT... just bought my first Univision MC (yay small-town Safeway!)
What can I do with this?
First, as a temp, unregistered card. Any options? Or for right now are you forced to permanently register?
Then, registered to an SS. What is the downfall here?
COULD load Reloadits on & dump via WM/BB online, no? Same with Citi payments? MOs at Post Office?
Did I see you can register an unlimited # of cards?
Just looking for recent insight on whether this can be useful (given a CC-capable Reloadit source) or if I should stay away.
Tx!
