Skink ...
Yes ... thanks for posting. Same thing happened in my area (Tallahassee). All of the customer service areas say the same thing -- and my Simon Mall VGC would not work -- even tried lower amounts -- even as low as $300. Winn-Dixie still works if you have any in your area. One odd thing --- I went to buy groceries at Publix and the VGC worked for groceries ... so I believe it has been hard-coded not to accept Simon Mall GCards (or maybe Metabank). I am working to liquidate the ones that I have by other means --- but at some point I am going to try other cards (Vanilla) to see if MS is dead at Publix or not. Let me know if you hear of anything that works. Good luck my MS friend!
