I think, from my experience, there are two different issues. First, some cards will be declined right from the get go (I tried a number of different credit cards and all were declined before I had even done any transfers). And yes one of the cards was in my name and the account was in my name but still got declined. Once I found one that worked, it only did 3 or 4 transfers instantly and then the transfers were only processed manually the following day. This is a great promo but caveat emptor.

Has anyone had problems using a CC in the name of the acct holder (which is not used repeated times previously)?
Looks like most problems are cars with no matching names (incl GCs?), or repeated use of same card (max 3x before points flag it in a certain time frame).
