Same thing happened to me earlier today with one card not having a fee. I gave the cashier two $200 vgc's and he scanned both but only one seemed to actually ring up. Told him one of them must have not scanned properly so he voided the one that did ring up and re-scanned it along with the second vgc. End result was the first one not applying the activation fee so I got both for $406.95.

I checked the balance on them both immediately and they were both loaded fine. Drained them to bluebird later.
