She said that wasn't the card I used, I replied yes it was and said to start the transaction over. I planned on fat fingering my PIN, but forgot I had changed it recently to match my default I use on VGC's. That will teach me to worry about remembering too many pins. The first swipe then took and had to use my bank card for the second. A line had formed so I just entered the real pin and finished the swipe. I hope I didn't burn my PPBDC with round number debit of $500.

I am not trying for a sky is falling post, just wanting to see if anybody else has had same issue. I know she didn't see what card I was using as she was looking at the register when I swiped and the card reader was blocked.

I know these don't work at WM MC or kate, but has anybody used for regular transaction at register? WOrst case I dump these to AFT and eat the fees or switch to other VGC at walmart. I don't want to sit on them until June with the potential for fraud. I can float it but don't like having live cards for more than a day or two.

Has anybody else seen this today?
