Mine is worse than that. I tried to do my normal 3x$500 and 1x$499.95. Didn't notice that the $500 didn't go through,

BUT the $499.95 did go through, deducted from my Visa Debit Gift Card, but the money didn't go through to BB!

I called for balance inquiry and they said $499.95 was deducted at Walmart and I have a $.05 balance left. They didn't say it was pending (like I can get on an Amex card for example. They said the money is gone.) Walmart CSR said that usually the money gets put back on in 15 minutes or an hour. The error for the first $500 loads was Debit Not Approved. The error on the $499.95 load was Host Timeout.

FYI, also tried to load my Serve card with VR and gave an error 29 as well here at home. So BB and Serve are not working.

Just checked again and it is back to $500. Transaction was reversed.

Also, FYI, I was able to load my HRB card with VR, but still not BB or Serve, so this must be an Amex problem, not VR.
