I have had several occasions where the CSM just didn't and couldn't get it (a pretty rural WM, TBH), and I had to say thank you and depart without a MO. It does happen, unfortunately. (I then go another time with another CSR and usually they get it right. )

Finally, you could just go with single swipes of $199.12 and get 3 separate MOs with some residual on the final GC. A bit more expensive but it should get you the MOs you need for school.I would do this if there were no other WMs near me.
Thanks, she was repeating back to me $200 and seemed to understand needing to separate the payment but can't see what she actually typed as the keypad just had the 540.88 total. I did wonder if maybe the cards hadn't been activated yet so I called but they were active. I guess i'll try in a couple days at a different WM.
