Did you try to swipe the VGC card more than once? Here is another trick you can try. Let's say you swipe VGC1 a couple of times and it is throwing debit error codes. Then swipe VGC2 (make sure you have another VGC on hand). That usually goes through right away.
Thanks for the picture. I see that my POS is Ingenico, so I don't think that this is the problem.
I will give your other method a shot as well. I am hoping that others can report their success or failures here so that we can get a better idea of what is happening.

BTW, I tried a BB load using one of the new Staples VGCs (Urine yellows) and it failed x 2 with a 56 "debit not available" code at a reliable cashier. I am going to wait 24 hours and try again with the same card.
I have held off buying any more Staples VGCs until I get this issue resolved.
