I then asked for a $599 MO using the same 3 cards that successfully worked on the previous transaction - in this case the first two swipes worked but the final swipe failed - keep in mind this exact same card had successfully swiped about a minute earlier on the voided transaction. (Seems odd that it was the final swipe that failed for both transactions but perhaps that was just a coincidence). Anyone had similar problems with Everywheres recently?
EDITED TO ADD: I'm now convinced it's not a coincidence the problems are only with the final swipe. A shrewd longtime FT'er has told me going forward he's bringing $200 cash on his WM Everywhere runs, that way if the final swipe fails he can salvage the transaction by paying the final amount in cash as 3 successful swipes are better than none.
DP: Two days ago, the third of four GE VGCs was declined once but worked on the next swipe.
Today, the fourth card declined once and then worked on the next swipe.
