Do you have any tip as debit card transaction?
I'm not sure if I can help much here. I do have the permanent version of the card with my name on it, as well as a PIN and all of my cardholder info filled out in the MyVanilla website. Perhaps it depends on the payment processor that their website is using
I've also received a few PMs asking about money orders. Personally, I've never bought large money orders, only around $350 or so to send actual payments. Other posters have reported being unable to buy above $500, to being up to buy up to ~$800. Maybe it depends on the location selling the MO.
as a PS, please also be aware that this card has a DORMANCY FEE of $3.95/month after no activity for 90 days. So yeah, definitely don't leave funds lying around on this card.
