I checked the balance of the problem card and funds are loaded to the card. I guess it could be a problem with the magnetic strip? I haven't tried making a purchase anywhere else with this card.
Are your cards from simon? Some of those are not manufactured properly, and swiping UP, instead of Down seems to work.
