Been liquidating my ODOM loot and over last 3 trips to WM, it's getting progressively hard to do more than 3-4 swipes in under 5-10min. Cards start randomly failing with error 12, sometimes swiping a backup one works, other times I swiped 5 or 6 backups and they all fail, causing transaction to cancel.

For those of you who don't mind doing one 4x200 shot per trip it's not a problem, but I may have to look into converting these to WM based GC and just deal with 500 swipes.
I too have run into much more throttling of Everywhere VGCs at WM recently. Fingers crossed it is temporary.
