Had just loaded 3 Chase GCs without an issue, so I doubt it is the GCs. Is it possibly local to your timezone, or maybe something messed up with CDT vs CST?
Appears that previously reported information is incorrect. Called BB today to see what was going on since I still couldn't load mid-day today. They confirmed that my transactions from last night posted at 12:57 and 12:58 which means they counted towards today's 1K limit. Note that I was in the store at about 9:57 and 9:58 Pacific time. CSR also confirmed that the BB systems run on Eastern time.
