Load 2: receipt showed $550 + $500 = $1050 balance
(so far so good)
Load 3: receipt showed $550 + $500 = $1050 balance
um, not so good.

I logged onto GoBank and only saw $1050. I called the gc company to find out the balance on each of my $500 gift cards. All were $0.

An hour later, I logged into GoBank and the balance was now $1550 and it correctly showed 3 $500 loads. Whew!
It actually only takes a few minutes for your balance to update correctly. I had the same reaction the first time this happened at a register, lurked around for 5 minutes and the balance had already updated. Keep your receipts!
