I tried swiping a few times (in case I had the mag strip wrong). The MC lady asked if it was a gift card and saw the front of the card as I was swiping and stated that they just updated the system and it won't take those any longer. I'll have to try another one 20 miles away and see if it does the same thing (the card is fine as I can load $10 onto Amazon with it).
Had a similar experience today while on my route. Bought five of the same VGCs (Metabank) at S&S first thing this morning. All cards had the same BINs. 2 of the 5 would not work at Multiple WMs to load Serve (Invalid Tender message), but they worked fine at FD 10 minutes after I left the second Walmart. I would have tried to load BB with them, but I'm maxed out for the month with BB and GoBank.
