I am pretty sure the CSR was misinformed.

Did u do that? If yes, then I’m afraid I was just lucky and did it before this supposed “new system“ kicked in. I’ll try it again next week and post results. Luckily for me, I still have bb/serve & will save the mcgc’s for them.
I think the key with MCGC has always been then when you swipe you have to also press the Cancel button first before they press the process or split $200 part button. But I always feel awkward and I feel it sorta raises red flags when I would try telling them to wait first until I press the Debit button after the cancel. This is why I mostly avoid MCGCs nowadays because the less unnecessary tricks/workarounds that you have to do with the CSR the smoother the MO buying process is. I would much rather stick with VGCs.
