I even registered them online after the first decline. But when I use them, I get the error - debit not available. When I called the customer service for US Bancorp last night, the lady had no clue. She first said, use it as credit. When I told her that wasn't an option, she came back 10 minutes later and said that I tried to get cash out of the card which is not allowed. I said, I did no such thing. Finally, after another 10 minutes, she said that she has unlocked my pin and now I can use it. I haven't tried it but I seriously doubt, this will work. Anyone else has experienced this problem? Any work around? This just started happening a week ago and now it seems its every other card from Kroger. Sunnies work without a hitch.
I had 20 minutes of trouble trying to call and change the PIN on mine today shortly after purchase.

"Invalid number" for the card number happened a few times, then it took. Then it said the security code on the back was invalid. Then it complained I entered too many digits after the 2nd digit. Then back to the full card number being invalid. All this over 5-6 back-to-back calls.

I panicked a bit, waited 10 minutes and retried. It all went smooth. I guess I caught the system in some weird state for a few minutes.
