Went to Ralphs today (Kroger in my area) to buy 2x $500 USB VGC Variable.
Rung up as $1011.90 with fees.
Swiped 2 of the MB VGCs, then all the other ones denied. Had to finish the remaining $600 on my Ink.
Thus walked out with 2x $500 USB VGCs BIN 4030.

Went to Walmart, and tried the following.

1. Load $500 Discover in 1 swipe. Failed using the default pin (last 4 digits). Error: Debit not available
2. Called USB and changed the pin.
3. Tried again $500 Discover. Failed using new pin, same error.
4. Tried $200. Failed, same error.
5. Went to MoneyCenter/Customer Service, tried $499 MO for a $500 swipe. That failed for same error.

Is this a WM issue or USB?
The old USB cards (without pin included) $5.95 fee were problematic like this. IME it was a fraud lock from USB. Have also seen DPs that waiting 24hrs after changing pin often works. The new $6.95 cards with the hologram and pin included work perfectly for all things WM.
