I haven't heard from a few of my local MS folks yet but I suspect the shut downs are due to a blanket search on anything that loaded from more than just a few CC.

or it could be that the multi card loads triggered it - one swipe and then put 3 vgc on it.

Of course, this is all speculation.

It appears that is was just a matter of time before they did this IMHO. If they didn't want to have any vgc loads then they should never have allowed them in the first place.

However, one store manager told me that by depositing a vgc WITHOUT your name on it was money laundering -- I don't see how that is possible.

I still consider myself a newbie on this though had just started to get some traction in the MS game... is there another way to liquidate gc other than using Plastiq? I actually can pay real bills...I just need a place to unload these cards.
