I tried to buy a card on February 18 at the Target in Falls Church, VA. Despite several tries by the helpful cashiers, we kept getting "Cannot Process Transaction. Processor Offline." I found it somewhat frustrating that this message came each time only after a lengthy process that took lots of information and gave both me and the cashiers the false impression that something must be working. The cashiers wanted to call the store manager to see if he could help, but I had read on this forum about the processor-offline problem and decided to wait a few days. Stopped by the same Target again this afternoon, and the transaction went through on the first try. So I guess the problem really is fixed.
