She said it's coming up as a credit card, not debit.
I then drove over to a Neighborhood WM and asked to have a $495 MO. The clerk there asked "Just the one today?" Um, ok. It swiped with no problems.
I'm thinking the clerk at my first stop did something on her screen when entering in the amount to reflect a credit card.
While it's no big deal, I can still use the balance on other things at a grocery store I was concerned about the first stop WM.
I experienced something similar. Was buying a 999.12 MO and swiped my first VGC but the transaction kept declining after I asked to try again. I did not think to try the cancel button, as usually that is only necessary for Mastercard transactions. I called up and they had placed a 24 hour hold on the card due to multiple failed transactions. Will try the MGC strat and hopefully it works.
Hopefully this is not indicative of VGC’s being run as credit as well now.
