Just for your information, I only load a single GC to each BB card, and never more than 2 BB cards with the same cashier, and that is only if there is no one behind me waiting. However, there are DPs where people do multiple swipes and load multiple cards.
Thanks for the reply.

Not sure if my question was understood. I'm only trying to load one Mastercard gift card onto my Bluebird. The issue is that it seems like it's defaulting to credit and failing, and I never have the option, whether forced or automatic, to change it to debit. Just trying to zero in on what exactly I need to do and at what point.

Edit: Just to touch on what you said about BH (I'm assuming that means Blackhawk?), these are in fact issued by Pathward/Blackhawk. Is that the issue? Or would these just be limited to $99 swipes at CS/MC.

I tried both - a normal register and the MC but both failed.
